Homenetworking and DSL (eastBT).

    Hi everyone, hope all is well with everyone here :)

    Basically, I have a DSL connection with EsatBT (1MB) and use the most crappy Prestige modem/router that came with it.

    I've bought myself a wireless router (Belkin one ) and basically I now have a router (prestige) connecting to a second router (Belkin) to which all other devices connect wirelessly!

    I was wondering can I swap the Prestige for a simple DSL modem and then connect the DSL modem to the Belkin? If so, how do I do this, does it connect to the network router via USB from the modem? :eek:

    Edit: Typos!

    Simply turn out routing in the P623.
    In the wizard setup turn Routing to Bridged.
    This makes it a modem so u need to connect with a PPPoE client.

    Wow, really!? Always the simple things huh :o

    So, in the wizard setup thingy, when I come across a step asking about routing, I set it to bridged and and follow the onscreen instructions and voíla? I should then have a modem connecting to a router, rather than a router to a router?
