A router that is not for a phone line but an Ethernet cable?

rey8px2m7altcs · 02-04-2014 2:48pm #1

I am looking for a router which will work with my current net setup. It is a dish on the wall which has leads coming in and end with an ethernet cable. So you see how most routers won't work because they are for your typical cat phone line.
What should I used to search for this type of router? I don't know the name of what it is I am looking for is the problem

If anyone has links to the products I would be very grateful!!

I think what you're looking for is a wifi repeater

Any wifi router that says it's compatible with DSL/Cable modems (rather than just ADSL) should work fine. Here's one that's good value at the moment and quite reliable:

No I do not think that will work.

It will. Thats exactly what you need.

Your dish is terminating in an ethernet feed just as cable(In ireland thats UPC) modem does. The router behind that then leases the WAN IP from it.

A router that is not for a phone line but an Ethernet cable?
