ADSL router on ADSL+2 line?

[Halfmad]

Hi chaps!

Just curious, we've signed up for the ADSL+2 package but are unlikely to get any speed improvement  (we're really after the increased bandwidth). Is it possible to use my existing ADSL router on the ADSL+2 line or would I definately have to upgrade it?

It's an old router - Belkin F5D7633-4

I'm assuming an upgrade in router is required but wanted to check as we're not that desperate for the added 1Mb or so we'll probably get a most according to the IDNET checker

According to this it could well work

It's certainly ADSL2+ capable, though some exchanges are having difficulties with some routers. Unfortunately, you'll just have to see. Before your activation date, it's worth updating to the latest firmware (beta firmware, if available).

Welcome to the forum, Halfmad!

You've got to be half mad to fit in here, and I'm sure you will!  .

Welcome aboard, HM. As we traditionally shorten names, would  you prefer to be called Half or Mad? 

[Halfmad]

Cheers guys, either Half or Mad is fine by me. I hadn't realised I'd never posted as I'd read the forums quite a few times since registering! Over a year since registering.. must be a personal record for me!

We'll soon change that.

Could have been worse.  Could have been half wit.

I couldn't register that one - says it's already reserved by some chap in London, Gordon something..

You've caught on to the tone of this place haven't you.
