Do they even make a device that does this?

I've been looking arround for something like this...

I hate networking, but I love the results of networking.

I've just got too many devices right now, and I'd like to consolidate to one (two if I have to) devices.


Now:

-cable modem
-vonage adapter
-wireless 802.llg router
-8 port 10/100 switch



I'm adding a File server to my setup, and I'm going to make the jump to 1000mbs gigabit... I need to keep the wireless functionality, so I've been leaning to the dlink: DGL-4300

it has wireless g and 10/100/1000, but no phone ports for vonage. I'd like it better if it had 8 ports for gigabit.


right now it from what it looks like I'm going to be doing something like This


I just wish I could have less stuff!

LMK what you think

thanks

If they make a device like this (and I doubt that they do) you do not save any thing as far as you Brain activity is concerned (I.e. learn how to use it and configure it correctly). These devices are a combination of the stand-alone devices housed in one plastic box.

The one thing it does do, it reduces your configuration flexibility, and have bleak upgradeability potential.
