Re: Broadband hardware

Does anyone have this wireless base station/router? It looks interesting on the website. I'm getting ready to go to a cable modem and want to set up a wired/wireless station to go with it. Kate > > > 2.. Try Buffalo Technology. > http://www.techworks.com > Supposedly they're a lot be

Ugh! I'm not a moderator, but Mike, your holier-than-thou tirade based on economic philosophy has just earned you time in my penalty box. You bought a Linksys, fine it works for you, it's not superior because of economic theory, no matter how much you apply your bias for it. Using it to defend po

Re: Broadband hardware

It sounds like you've been given a DSL modem, so I don't think you can use it as a cable modem with AT&T. You could probably use it for DSL service from providers other than MSN, but they might want to give you one, also. Peter -- G-Books is sponsored by and... Sma

Re: Broadband hardware

Thanks everyone for your responses! It's been extremely helpful to hear all the pros and cons, including experiences. I was given a MSN broadband modem a few months ago. It's an Arescom Model ND860VUE-MSN. I assume those MS folks want me to use their service, so they sent me a modem. My questio

As an aspiring Wireless nerd, I contacted Linksys Tech suppt dept by phone, to ask about AppleTalk, and was told "We don't have anything to do with Mac, and don't do support for Mac systems". I'd have to side with Kyle, as I was rather suprised that any company would be so prejudice. Thanks,

Excellent points Kyle! Thank you for illuminating us on this issue. I want to know things like this when I purchase accessories for my Mac. I would have been uninformed without this discussion on the list. -- Lesley Sprigg Context Communications -- G-Books is sponsored by
