Re: [modem/router] getting a wireless dsl modem
thanks so much for all your help! i think i'll start looking into wireless routers. i wonder if I will still be able to set up a way to make bittorrent work through the router - but i'll burn that bridge when i get to it.
thanks again!  |

1 edit | Bit-torrent works fine, you just usually have to use port forwarding. BTW, the 6100 you currently have, is a modem router, just with a single ethernet port. If you were to add a simple switch or hub, it would be just like a 327w but without wireless.
*EDIT* Did you get your modem back up and running? |

| yes i did, it is working fine now.
i figured as much re. the 6100 acting as a router. i've considered getting a hub, but since i have computers in different rooms of an apartment, it would be really inconvenient to have cables running around through doorways and such (also it would be a pain to get a laptop on the network!)
as it stands now, i should probably start reading up on reviews of various wireless routers. |

Erial, NJ | I just mentioned that to clarify how everything works. As far as routers, popular ones seem to be the Linkys WRT-54G and Netgear WGT-624. Don't quote me though, I've never used one myself, though I have set some up for people. |
