IDNet package

[Baz]

this is really a daft question and I should know it  in advance    but im on home pro LLU...is that ADSL2+

[Steve]

Yes via the Be* network

[Baz]

thanks Steve.

just checking before I buy a new router

[Baz]

ok my new router came today and just going through it now but have a few teething probs so to speak.

I decided to stay with Netgear as ive never had any bother with them and I went for this one http://www.netgear.co.uk/home/products/wirelessrouters/high-performance/WNDR3700.aspx#

so, got it set up no bother at all but when logging out of the set up pages if I go to login again it is taking me straight to the set up with out asking for user name and password.its as if I havent been logged out properly.

it is a dual band router but all my laptops at home dont see both bands when setting up wireless, only the Mac picked up both.

[Baz]

what is IDNet connection type.the router picked up as PPPoE but my saved settings from old router were PPPoA

[Steve]

I'm pretty certain that router has no modem. So it will not work on an adsl/adsl2+ connection. Your choices- take it back, buy an adsl2+ modem i.e. draytek 120 or stick it in cupboard until you get FTTC.

The Netgears with a modem are DGND 3300 and DGND 3700 or the DGN series.

sorry Steve my fault  posted wrong link

Well that one will work and it's PPPOA that you require but sometimes it doesn't seem to matter which doesn't make sense at all.

[Baz]

so would it be ok to leave as it auto found or shall I change it
seems to be working ok.

just had the MAC drop wireless connection though

[Steve]

If it's working I'd leave it , you can play around later if you wish.
