ok, I have a feeling my modem is pish

Los Roji said on p.1 to connect modem to router and then PC to router - but there's no physical way to connect the modem to the router, the only 2 cables it has are 1 x USB into PC and 1 phone connector

Am I missing something here? (yes, obv)

ok, figured it, our adsl modem is the crappy speedtouch one that came with the pipex package, it is single-user and has no ethernet port.

So I'm guessing we need an adsl modem with an ethernet port and an ethernet cable before setting this mofo up

HELP ME SHEEBA

hahaha, you have a stingray, perhaps the worst modem ever

A simple dlink/draytek/linksys router , I recommend a draytek vigor modem-router if only because they are completely rock solid these days, Linksys are next up because Cisco have taken them over.

Wifi everything.

Ive just read Page 2 of this thread and given up all hope of humanity tbh.

I recommend stuff and people dont take that onboard, even after 15+ posts/replies.

Yeh a decent router but a crappy modem.

Linksys tend to separate their routers and modems, not many combined models.

Get a linksys dsl modem to couple with it

it's a modem too? from the reading I've done it isn't a modem at all. although by now I really should've learnt to trust your knowledge rather than randoms on ebuyer

I meant the router is good but youre linking it with a crappy modem

retired_ingallsh

ahh gotya

yeah we have a new modem in the pipeline, should be fairly straightforward

Yeh, Id recommend linking it with a linksys modem, no compat issues then.
