ADSL Modems?

[John Hacker]

Does any one know if there are ADSL modems which can connect directly to the telephone point and transmit signals to PCs and Laptops wirelessly?

As I understand it, you must have at least one PC connected directly to the modem and a ethernet cable from that PC is linked to the wireless router for other PCs and laptops to get signals. I am looking for something which does not rely on any PCs except to reconfigure it for the first time for security keys.

My idea is to keep the connection on 27/7/365 but ALL PCs and laptops can be switched on as and when needed.

I am sure I must be missing something here so your help would be appreciated.

Under my scenario, one needs at least two equipments to achieve the objective - One adsl modem and second a router.

Depending on whether it's compatible with your ISP:

Most Access Points only support 4 PCs each... so you may need a couple extra
depending on how many PCs you're thinking of running. Or at least an
Extender device to boost the signal.

Hello Mr. John
as I have understood of your request? I suggest you a ADSL Wireless Gateway
as mine, and you can get further information by clicking on this link:

John,

Yes all you need is the ADSL modem, Router/Switch, and and Access Point.
With this configuration the Router
can be used to sign on to your ISP without any PC's turned on.

I have a Zoom X5 ADSL Modem/Router with an Access Point. Zoom has just come
out with a newer ADSL
Modem called the Zoom X6 which is a ADSL Modem/Router/Access Point all in
one box.

This might be what your looking for.

The ADSL modem would not directly give you a "wireless" connection. Most
wireless manufacturers, who also make ADSL modems, would include a wireless
router portion.
