My family use an ADSL USB modem to connect to BT Openworld currently. I'm due to to replace this USB modem with a Q-tec ADSL 4 port router modem (model: 584AA). Only problem is, this piece of hardware doesn't come with any form of cheatsheet to help me know what the ADSL settings are for BT Openworld. The manual does contain some settings for "common connection scenarios". So, can anyone...

They may seem like a silly question, but if I wanted to acheive fast upload speeds by bonding 4 x 512/256kbps lines, does this mean I need 4 seperate phone lines installed(ie, 4 sockets)? and 4 seperate accounts with an ISP?

What do you guys think about Pipex, Eclipse and the BlueBeyonder cable from Telewest ? Especially did you have some bad experiences ? (like not able to use file sharing, P2P or online gaming ??)

has anyone seen the article on the register website http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/51/35211.html Looks like a story is brewing up there in Sheffy. They say that between them and Plusnet they have employed about 400 staff in total. I'm not sure if Plusnet are linked to this as Insight are the parent company. There's usually no smoke without fire. If you look at the plusnet webcamera's...

The software loads ok and the card is found by the software when inserted and loads the drivers, but a few seconds later when the wireless connection is made to my DG834G NetGear Router, (when the lights...

Is a wireless router/modem likely to be less reliable than the conventional type - i.e. will it drop the connection more often? Thanks

Hi, Are there any routers which could support 2 internet connections? Our main connection is via a WET11 to a wireless link to the internet, the other one is through an ADSL line and serves as a backup line in case the first link fails. All Ethernet-based of course, for a simple LAN consisting of Linux and Windows XP boxes. J.Neuhoff
