Feedback received on this FAQ entry:
  • My Dell desktop computer is connected by wired DSL downstairs. I own a Westell B90-10030-04S2 that I would like to hook up do that my kids could use an old computer I have upstairs. Is that modem a router as well or just obsolete junk and should be trashed. Please tell me an inexpensive way to hook up the upstairs computer to the DSL so the kids will be happy and my sanity will be saved. The upstairs computer is an old Gateway. I don't have the money to put out anymore than I have to. Thanks much!
