10 meg cable modem
Hi,
recently purchased 10mb broadband but they supplied me with webstar 2100 rev 1 which is not capable of recieving speeds greater than 5meg. They will eventually supply with right modem, in mean time i am looking for a wireless router capable of 10meg, which is best? i am new to dsl , been using adsl since it came out, ne advice, and place to buy appreciated |
Re: 10 meg cable modem
Is it NTL 10mbit you're on? As you've posted in the Ntl section. The reason i ask is the Webstar isn't an NTL modem. I'd recommend the Linksys WRT54GS if you're on NTL.
[edit] i guess this needs to be moved to the DSL section. |

[edit] The router lets you distribute your cable connection around the house to other computers or games consoles. Hope that's what you wanted to do and didn't think it was a replacement for a modem. |

I think he was looking for a modem he could use to get the full 10 meg speed not a router.

All modern wireless routers will happily support 10Mbit, and are usually referred to as 'Broadband' wireless routers. OP you certainly do not want an ADSL or DSL wireless router, just a broadband one. Just make sure that the router features 100Mbit WAN port, this should be on the specifications. Only old routers won't now. You can not replace the modem with a router, you need a new modem that's the only way to get the speeds up. The DSL routers are only of value to people with ADSL, you have cable now and not ADSL. |
