Cheers Mikhail!!
Well the blind spot for me has always been the kitchen as its a town house and the walls double up in places killing my 802.11g signal stone dead there, my router died a week ago so this is a godsend at that price, if I can watch the tv on my iPod Touch in the kitchen streaming from this router I will be very pleased...
Whilst these are amazingly versatile devices (esp for the money) their 'n' range isn't amazing because they lack the array of aerials most 'n' devices sport.
The aerial their have can be upgraded but compared to other 'n' devices I've used, they aren't quite as good.
For everyone else - this device does 3 things
1 - acts as a switch and/or wireless base station for a network
2 - will extend an existing wireless network (act as a repeater)
3 - can be made into a wireless client adaptor (e.g. for an XBOX 360 or non-wireless PC)
What is does NOT do is act as an ADSL modem - you still need one of those (and a cable modem I think too tho I've not got cable so I can't comment!!)
Along with the ability to turn into a client adaptor... :)

Nope. That channel will only work at the slower speeds. If an "N" is also connected, that will run at the N speeds.
I use it as a Wireless client adaptor for my desktop which sits upstairs...Was fairly painless to set up although there is some 'engrish' involved in the the web pages but a cheap and cheerful device....
In terms of reliability, i have not had any problems with it.... i can play on line with my super shiny Dell XPS 8100 with no disconnections/lag etc....:thumbsup:

Is this any use if my ADSL router doesn't support WDS?
I don't need to extend my range, but can I connect an xbox to this (wired) and then have it send data to the other router over wifi?

I believe so, this router would just act as any other wireless receiver and then pass the data out over it's wireless switch. The comments on ebuyer seem to suggest this router supports this.
