Still pretty slow but im a pretty demanding user since I run a IP-PBX phone system and 6 computers out of my house on it.

Ive got Comcast cable modem for my primary connection and at&t fiber optic for my backup connection.

Funny thing is I have almost no clue how to set this stuff up. Just had a friend of mine come over and get most of it running.

Glad you got that thing up and running. For future reference, anyone with a linksys router needing to access the setup menus can type http://192.168.1.1 in a web browser to enter. For those of us with ATT DSL the correct setting for log on is PPPOE, then just enter your username and password and save those settings. The router should then automatically connect or stay connected to your DSL connection when you are accessing a non-local (to your computer) site.

Hey Bill, I might have a SBC dsl modem with the wireless router built in. (have to find it). If you are interested, I will give it to you. It worked great for me.

Yeah, I was in the router config but it wasn't seeing the modem for My buddy changed the router address from 192.168.1.1 to something else and changed it from PPPoE to Auto DHCP (i've got no idea what all this means) but anyway it is up and working. Now to access the router menu I have to enter the new addy.


Hey J, I'm very interested in the wireless modem, if you can find it let me know!! Thanks buddy
