BeBox

I recently changed to Be and I am wondering if I can use anything but the BeBox?

I have a pretty decent wireless router that I used with my old ISP and would like to use it again.

you can use other routers but not everyone, look up the be forums both office and unoffical for guides, I use an ex BT 2wire modem and its fine at 8mb

it will be harder if you are using the faster than 8mb service or using the enhanced upload service

i use an ex-sky netgear dg834gt (dgteam f/w) with be. FAR superior to the bebox in terms of stability.
so you can use a few different routers but they must have firmware/hacked firmware to support the special modes that be* use for their adsl2+.

whats the make/model of your old wireless router?

Or you can run the Bebox in bridged mode with your own choice of ethernet router.

I use an am200 + WRT54g (ddwrt) here and i have to say the reliability of my new setup is far and above when i had the bebox.
