Depends on what you need.

If you just want to share the connection with a few computers, get a D-Link DSL-520T ADSL modem with router function and a switch for connecting multiple computers together and the modem.

There is also a ADSL modem/router with 4 LAN ports from D-Link (cannot remember the model) in this case you dont need buy a switch.

Either way, keep your DB102 in the store room.

If you want to set up your own wireless hotspot at home, get DSL-520T and a wireless router.

once my desktop pc is up, i will be doing 24/7 p2p(hopefully) and also connected to two computers.. one wired and another wireless... will leave it on for 24/7 also..

i did a search and saw the dsl-2640t wireless router modem... its only rm135... erm... may i know the price you said for the dsl-520t and which wireless router do you recommend that is reliable?

D-Link DSL-520T if u buy it from All IT Hypermarket in PJ Digital Mall, the price as of last week was RM88.

I am currently using D-Link DIR-300 Wireless Router. It works well so far, but I am not using any P2P. However, you gotta update the firmware to the latest 1.03 which was released 2 weeks ago. The default firmware 1.01 supplied is problematic, which is fixed in the 1.03 release. The price is around RM130.

i just got myself a belkin wireless router... i wanna know is it i have to setup the router...please teach...

In your Belkin router, you need to set up the PPPoE with your streamyx user & password, while your modem must be set in bridge mode.

thanks bro...everything seems to be working fine now..just that the line seems to DC quite a bit yesterday and today... hm....

this modem really super crappy , just replaced it today , and power on , all lights lit up and hang there

I've been using for about three months, but using my wireless router to connect seems to be good. no disconnects from the internet.
I'm using Buffalow G125 with DDWRT firmware

when all light on and not blinking
that usually mean this modem hang already......

used it for about 6 month, seems all ok so far =)
only 2 pc connected to it, i`m using asus 5 port switch =)

yeap have to go back to the shop and change again

Can this router modem support windows Vista? I am connecting this router modem to a switch to 6 PCs. All other Windows XP PCs have no problem. I am using vista home premium. I could connect and sometimes cannot connect. Does this means that the problem is with the router modem?

oh so long ago, hehe.

Only thru telnet cli;
To change modulation,
modify dsl config t1413 /or modify dsl config gdmt /or modify dsl config glite

or modify dsl config multi ....this is autoselect.

after running a command make sure type "commit" to save then "reboot".
if lazy to reboot just, resync the line using stop start, whichever easier
"modify dsl config insertmodehere loop stop"
"modify dsl config insertmodehere loop start"

Some explanation;
T1413 and GDMT are the same standards, just from two different standards organization, lookup wiki for full info.
you wouldnt want to use GLITE, unless your connected to a RDSLAM, usually for wireless broadband, err wireless streamyx?? ...it will be slower if configured on landline, tried and tested.

On the other hand, your snr thing will improve around 10db if u switch to T1413 from GDMT, based on what i tried.
Snr are only issues if interference really affect ur line...otherwise dont bother...ive seen 8mb lines run just fine on quite bad snr's and attenuation's IMHE/O.

ur modem stat pic, showed connected at speed is correct 1472kbps ...just abit bit.....usually like this...if u subscribe for a 1.0m package, tm would configure the cap higher at 2048kbps ....so ur true real life usage speed would be sustained at a possible or near 1.0m ....mines a 1.0m package capped at 2048kbps....speedtest is around 800kbps++ ....so yeah its roughly a 1.0m besteffort...if not, if they configured round-round (bulat-bulat) at 1.0m, u will never get the "besteffort" speed.

Changing the modulation would help in getting clearer signals thru the line, help with snr and attenuation. speed?? not really. The modulation are for improving noise or echo cancellation ..interference's on the lines, me guess that does help perhaps.

oneany hope this helps

problems with dc'ing all the time, read below. and the chipset used information inside the thread below.

I don't know how to solve your problem...
because I'm noob in networking...
First, you have to make your modem become auto-connect (connect by routing mode)
I have put it under the spoiler in first post... try check on it

After you connect by routing mode, you should have no problem for file sharing and connect to internet...

Can anyone share the installation guide for DB102 and D-link DIR-615 WIFI Router? How to initiate the set-up since this is the 1st time i use Streamyx at home and I have no idea how to configure the modem and router together.
User at home: 2 laptop + 1PC (all want to use WIFI connection)
TQVM

My LINK light is blinking.
Tried all the steps and all the calls made to streamyx but still cant solve.
What should i do now?

thats most probably mean your modem is died already......

btw, just LINK light is blinking?? how about the other??
