S.MULLA Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I've decided to getting the Linksys WRT54GX router to replace my current Netgear 834g router. Since the linksys router is only a router and not a modem (modem required for my ADSL service) i've done abit of reaserch and found i can get a adsl modem (which has ethernet connection) and connect that to a wifi router. I;ve attached an image below to show the setup i would like. i just need to know if it will work. the modem im planning on using is this one: http://www.netgear.com/products/details/DG632.php Router: http://www.linksys.com/products/product.as...cid=35&prid=670 and since i need a 1gb switch for lan i was deciding on either: Netgear: http://www.netgear.com/products/details/GS605.php OR Linksys: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=49456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Providing that Adsl modem router has a DHCP server on it, just disable DHCP server on the wireless router and it becomes a switch. I personally favour Linksys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.MULLA Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 well i've found another ADSL modem which just has ethernet (not a router) : http://www.linksys.com/products/product.as...rid=592&scid=29 so basically i'll get the above linksys modem > GRX WIFI ROUTER > Gigabyte switch > PC. i'll get the whole kit from linksys than mix/mathching. I've had netgear for over 3years now and hoping linksys firmware is upto scratch as netgear's is. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
