Hi there
I recently signed up to Irish Broadband, an Irish ISP who provided me with a
Netgear DM111P ADSL2 Ethernet modem. As mentioned elsewhere on this forum and
online, it's not compatible with Vista, and no-one - certainly not Netgear or
my ISP - seem to know if it's going to be any time soon. Given that I got it
free as part of my signup with Irish Broadband, I was thinking of just
picking up my own modem to use that won't have the same incompatibility
issues with Vista.
(1) Does anyone have a good recommendation of such a Vista-friendly modem?
(2) Will doing this affect my broadband service with my ISP, ie will buying
and attempting to use a modem "off the shelf" create connectivity issues from
the ISP end of things?
