Is the above wireless router useable on adsl or is it a cable only router?

Thanks!

it will work on any cable or adsl modem.

More of a question for the networking section then GD.

Yes, but you would need a seperate ADSL modem between the phone socket and the Linksys.

Cable only. edit - as standalone.
(Also there is a networking section of this forum).

I used mine when I was with VM (cable), and I am now using it with ADSL.

I just purchased a AM200.

Works fine.

I use Tomato firmware.

It's not really 'standalone' even with cable - it'll still be using a cable modem

Clairvoyant,

Did you just configure the modem using ethernet, then once you got the connection live, plugged directly into router?

Then in Tomato on the wrt54gl, you set the ip address to fixed..?

Considering upgrading my mum's home connection to a wrt, as thats what I've got now on my ntl

The modem should find an ip adress its self (DHCP enabled). Set the router up via ethernet for wireless.

Then just log on via laptops etc wireless.

It generaly has most of the setting set as standard. Its only the wireless info I set WPA / password etc.
