hi,

Basically as everyone is getting upgraded to maxDSL soon. i cant really use my usb frog modem anymore.

Can i just plug this netgear one into my switch for easy internet access? i have a dedicated server now which ill turn off.

Any similar products you would reccomend? I presume this one is compatible with MaxDSL thingy at least

You'd need a router if you're going to hook it up to a switch.

So is this a good product of its kind for the price?

Or do you want to suggest something else?
