hey guys,
was looking to get my second (or rather first) PC and my 360 onto the internet alongside my second PC. for which i know i will need a router.

however i am unsure which to get, my internet does not come through a phone line, but rather, the things they use to run Digital TV into a house...i think they are called co-axial ( :confused: ).
so i need a router that will utilise this (and am unsure which ones do...ie cable/ADSL etc) i have a budget of £30 maybe £40.

thanks in advance

Ha ha , well easy way to work it out is how do you pay for the internet ?? and how much for what speeds ..............
 
The IP you're posting from belongs to AOL, so it sounds like AOL over NTL/Telewest/VM cable. Any "DSL/cable" router should do - it's possible AOL screw with it though. A popular one is the Linksys WRT54GL.

You're the one looking for assistance. Help us to help you (telling us who your ISP was would've been a good start), and leave the rolleyes at the door...

asking me if its cable or ADSL isn't, in my mind asking me which ISP i'm with, if i knew what i were doing in regards to networking/ADSL/cable or what have you i wouldn't have needed to have asked such a bunch of tight arses.

not in refrerence to divaboy, thanks for the help mate, glad to see some people still give it without running people into the ground because of lack of knowledge
 
cos your on here asking for help and we need basic info like cable or adsl as there are 2 types of router, and provider is a starting point when you dont know what you need.

then why did you ask?

Because we were trying to work out what service you were on from the tiny bit of information you gave us, and knowing what ISP you were on would've given a bloody big clue.

You don't have to be a CCIE to be able to take a photo of the modem, give it's model number (it'll almost certainly be printed on it) or anything that would've given us a huge clue.

Civility costs nothing either - calling Keeny and I a "bunch of tight arses" isn't exactly the way to go, and no one's ran you into the ground...
