    anyone using their service with a wireless router ?

    the cable modem is very old and basic , LAN outputs 10 instead of 10 and 100 etc

    Just wondering does one have to clone MAC address to get a wireless router to work ,( setting up Saturday for a customer ) permanet tech support failed to call me back after 2 requests over the last few days

    Just wondering is anyone using a wireless router with their service as don't want any surprises during setup and the fact they don't have tech support that will call back for a simple query and no useful faqs on website doesn't help ......

    I am, but I'm with Eircom, not a cable service. never heard of anyone having trouble with not using the default box though.

    If it only has one ethernet port, and the incoming broadband is less than 10MB, what would be the point of advertsing the ethernet port as being capable of 100MB?

    I just answered something similar on another thread ... but you can hook the ethernet out of the cable modem to a wireless router eg Linksys WRT54G and then use that for wireless connection aswell as 4 other direct connect pc's.
