IOL BB and Belkin DSL Router

Verdammt · 19-11-2003 01:47PM #1

I've just bought a Belkin F5D52314 4-Port Cable/DSL Router (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00008VF4L/qid=1069245856/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-1702124-5313613?v=glance&s=electronics&n=507846) and I have ordered IOL BB, now I've just read that IOL are providing a USB modem with their package and I need an ethernet modem for my router.

Is there anyway around this without buying a new modem or connecting the modem to one of the computers on the network ???

AHHHH nope nothing for it if you can't get an ethernet modem you can't use your new router:( ....your options include buying a router with integrated modem or buying an ethernet modem; buy an integrated router...it's the easier choice will amazon take back the router???.

I was just looking at another post about something similar (i don't know what i'd do without Boards.ie !!!) and I seen someone wrote that the Eircom modem has ethernet and usb, do you know if this is true ???

Yes, the Netopia modem/router supplied by eircom has USB and Ethernet. In fact it has it's own pppoe stack too, so it as actually more of a router with builtin modem.

Yes it does but you mentioned IOL BB and they have a USB modem which I'm myself replacing with a router with built-in ADSL modem, so sweet:D. I suggest you do the same thing in the long run it's worth it!.
