you could also rename this topic so it doesn't sound like you are selling something.

Sooooo, re-naming it "Wanted to sell" makes it clear that he wants to buy something does it?

This is what i did. If you can handle an extra box sitting on your bench/desk then this is the way to go. Why spend $160 when you can spend half that. And you don't have to ferg around with any settings for a brand new modem (not that its heaps hard) just plug and play so to speak.

frikin heck,

wanted to buy not good enough, fur coat.

All I was trying to do is help someone off load some unwanted gear was that too much to ask.

Or should I start a Buy, Swap and Sell thread.

Oh well I might visit the big smoke tomorrow and visit Crime converters and see whats there.

A WiFi modem WILL be a WiFi router.

In simple terms, more than one connection of the same type possible = router. Same as if a non WiFi modem has more than one ethernet port, it's a modem/router.


And yes one of the options is to just plug a WiFi router (router only, no modem) into an existing standard modem.

Ebay should do the trick.

Might have to find the power supply for it as well in some of my boxes. Joys of moving around in WA.
