Title: router/modem
Post by: KRO on October 20, 2005, 14:37

having bought and installed a belkin wireless router so my lad could get internet access (and the fact that it's been problems all the way) he's  decided he's not bothered with it now, so is it as simple as just removing it and re-installing my bt speedtouch modem ??
cheers keith.

It is as simple as that Keith.
You may find that you have an extra icon in the taskbar saying Network Cable Unplugged as it will know tha it was there and has been removed.

Are you still wanting shared internet access for two pcs from the single modem ?

It will be interesting to see if that fishing website is accessible once you've disconnected the router, Keith.
