None of my friends have had any problems (and if they can set it up... anyone can). The only trouble is that if you are using a router, you may have some difficulty with the actual PSO servers, not the BBA itself.
Even if I had a router, I'd still get the BBA since the people I know with routers have resolved their problems.

Is this just plug and play?

I have AT&T cable modem service, and I just plugged it in and everything works fine.
Are you still gonna try to get online??
The "dorks" are waiting to play with you.

There are only two things that could be a problem with the router. One, the modem wants a Dynamic IP and the router is not configured for DHCP... That is an easy fix. Either configure the BBA to take a static IP (recommended for solution 2) and configure the rest of the settings by hand, or set the router to DHCP (probably is by default).
The second problem I can think of is that the firewall in most routers is not allowing a connection back from the server. If this is the case, find out which IP is being given to the BBA and put it in the DMZ host setting. Or you can open explicit ports for it in the router.
It will probably give you about 20mins of trouble, but I can't see any incompatiblities, and once up it should be up without issue. (atleast if you configured the Gamecube for static IP).

Cap, most routers (especially the Linksys) is configured for DHCP, so I wouldn't worry much. When I had PSO on DC it played just fine hooked up to my Router, and I didn't have to set it up in the DMZ or any other shit like that.
ANYWAY, if you can't just plug the damn thing in there and have it work, P2P me in Chat or just IM me I can walk you through making it work on your router (hopefully you have a linksys).

Yeah, I know it all seems kind of confusing at first Cap, but once you go through it you'll see it isn't all that bad, just knowing what setting goes where. Anyway, if you need any help once you get it, I am sure there will be people here to help you out and get you online, I wouldn't worry about it.
