Being sick of shaky WiFi connection to our home's main router (a Sitecom, which is far away) I've got a New Belkin router to use in my room. I have a telephone plug in my room but not sure whether it is possible to directly connect the Belkin to the plug and connect to the home's ADSL.
I am using Ubuntu, hence I cannot use the supplied Belkin installation CD, and this adds another layer of difficulty/uncertainity.
I appreciate your hints to make this work.
Thanks
Does your internet connection come in directly or are you pulling it off your ISP's modem/router/hardware? – Shinrai – 2011-10-24T22:28:25.347
@Shinrai, If it is ADSL, it has to go through a modem. – MaQleod – 2011-10-24T22:33:16.397
@MaQleod - I figured that was the case, but I ask the OP to make sure he means exactly what he's saying by 'ADSL', since I don't know his level of expertise. – Shinrai – 2011-10-24T22:53:36.163
If both routers support WDS, that's what you want to use. Make sure the new router's DHCP server is disabled, and don't use its WAN/Internet port. – David Schwartz – 2011-10-24T22:54:10.127
