ebay feedback question

I know what your saying, but when something is advertised as "ADSL Router" I can't believe you would assume it was a regular router rather than one with an ADSL modem built into it.

At the very least, if it was me selling, I'd at least have the curtosy to reply to emails and offer an exchange/refund.
 
It's only a DSL router though, not an ADSL router specifically.

It can handle an ADSL modem attached to it, but that doesn't make it an ADSL Router it makes it a DSL router. Until the modem is attached it's a DSL router, so has been misadvertised, whether intentionally or not, if the seller stated it was an ADSL router he's received the wrong product. Unless the exact model number was shown, then the ADSL bit could be a typo, but he should still get a refund/replacement.
 
Go have a look at OcUK's product catalogue.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Wireless_Routers.html

A router is a router is a router, it shares the connection out, fundamentally. If a product isn't described as a modem-router, then it's just a router, without the modem part.

I.e. this model:-
Belkin 125Mbps Wireless-G Router (F5D7231UK4) (NW-021-BE)
Click to expand...

Can share out a cable, ADSL or DSL connection, but it doesn't have the modem part.

Whereas this one:
Belkin 125Mbps Wireless ADSL2+ Modem/Router (F5D7633UK4A) (NW-022-BE)
Click to expand...

Does the lot.
 
Yeah, but the first one doesn't specifically say ADSL router, whereas the second one does. The one I bought said ADSL router not just wireless router. None of the standard routers on that page mention ADSL, the only ones that do are ones that are ADSL compatible without having to plug in a modem.

Have a look at the description page again - http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=316

The product description doesn't mention anything about ADSL. It just says "Wireless Router" Yet he listed the item as ADSL router.

If someone told you they had a wireless ADSL router for sale, which out of these 2 products would you think they meant?

I have to side with the seller also, not his fault you didnt do your research before hand, he advertised it exactly for what it was.

Link to the ebay auction so we can see if its misleading or not...

Plus DSL and ADSL are technically the same thing, ADSL is just a type of DSL, so this point is entirely irrelevant.
 
selling an ADSL Router imo implies you wont need a seperate modem, just selling A router/dsl router in any incarnation would implie to me that you need the modem, as the majority if not all Routers advertised/named as ADSL Routers will come with the modem.

starscream is right to complain i think
 
I'm not clued up on ADSL/DSL/whatever (I'm a cable guy, ya know :D) so excuse my ignorance but.....

Can't you just plumb your ADSL modem into the back of the DSL router via network cable? I assume you can do that......?
