1 edit | [DSL] Wireless router (Cisco) and MLPPP. I think I already know the answer, but I'm asking anyway to be certain.  I was recently given a Cisco Valet M10. A pretty basic, el cheapo wireless router.

I'm on Dry Loop with MLPPP using a TP-Link TD-8816 without a router.

I'd like to use the Cisco to provide internet to both my desktop and my phone without losing the MLPPP. Can I, or am I confined in my choices of wireless router as I was with the modem? |

kudos:23 | Quick question? Are you on Single-link or Multi-link connection? |

I've been an MLPPP subscriber from day one, managed by the Win7 connection properties. Does that answer your question correctly? |

kudos:23 | So you are on a Single Link.
You may not have been aware, but Bell is no longer throttling, so MLPPP on a Single link defeats the purpose. You wouldn't need to use MLPPP, simply configure a regular PPPoE setup.
If you have a Static IP, then the $4 would remain, but if you don't, then you can get rid of that $4 charge.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I'm not sure if I missed that news or forgot it.
I've just called Teksavvy and cancelled the MLPPP and the static IP with it. Problem solved and I've saved some money. This is turning into a Geico commercial. 
Thanks again! |
