    Hi guys,

    I have magnet broadband at home, but the router they provide is pretty poor. So I thought I'd borrow the f1000 from my friend and see would that work of the ethernet cable.

    There's a direct ethernet Internet connection in each room. What settings should I enable for the router to work with the Internet or is the Internet connection through the WAN port not possible?

    no not possible, put the magnet modem in bridge mode and then plug a lan cable into he wan port of eircom router. Or ask in another thread if its possible to use eircom router with magnet and you may get lucky

    Oh I've given up at this stage. Might try to bridge it, but it just looks far easier just to buy a proper router.
