Ok not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'll ask anyway.
My housemate is thinking of our normal cable modem to a wireless modem.
I'm currently using the normal 1mb cable connection. If I switch my modem to a wireless modem, does that mean I can connect without any cables (like wifi)?
Or do I need to call Streamyx to tell them that I've changed to a wireless modem and let them configure stuffs on their side?
Or do I actually have to terminate my account and register for some wireless package that I hear Sreamyx are offering?
Its not that simple is it?

QUOTE(ahpek26 @ Nov 16 2008, 02:06 AM) Yes you can connect without any cable, using wifi. No, you don't need to call streamyx or anything like that since its just a simple hardware change  . And no, you don't need to terminate or re register anything, just use the current subscribed package. Don't forget to setup that wireless modem (if it has auto-connect function) and also don't forget to put some encryption so people aren't jacking your internet for free  . Hell yeah. Thanks for the reply! And another thing.. if the router is placed in the living room will I still be able to connect if I'm in my own room or in the toilet (with the doors and windows closed and all)? Or do I have to be in the living room near the router to be able to connect and get good connectivity? Once I'm able to connect I also might need to set some speed limits to some of my jack ass buddies who likes to download at full speed. This post has been edited by masterelr: Nov 16 2008, 02:07 PM |

Thanks again for the reply. You're a great help.
EDIT: Can I use a telephone if I want to? I just need a splitter right?
