I found this link on the router but am having difficulty understanding the instructions . Also its a ADSL router is that compatible with my AOL home broadband ??
 I know some of my questions sound dumb but there is only me and my pc and its a hard learning curve and I get pretty confused at times reading stuff up on the net .

No, it should work fine ... try it before you buy it.
 A word, don't be tempted to use the USB connection, although it should work fine, it's just a bugger to "diagnose" if there is a problem. If you have more than two PC/laptop that need connecting then you is gonna need a Hub/Switch as well, 'cos that BT Router only has one USB & one Ethernet connections. Been tripped up on that one myself, but I have a cheap 8 port Hub anyway.  Do not be tempted to use both Routers, you are gonna pull your hair out, one will need "fixing" to get it to work as a Hub. oops ... Quote:
Not sure if that is a genuine statement from BT, or just a sales ploy ?? I think it's a sales ploy ... if your "friend" is using it, ask him if you can try it out first. oh, and your existing 190 IS an ADSL modem.

ah, right, now then ... I say no more.
 A bit silly of BT to miss a sale locking this Router to their own service ? Flickr Every day I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive. |
