I-cable broadband and ADSL wireless router

[amitgbhatia]

Hello,
I just got an I-cable broadband connection. I have an ADSL wireless router with me ( which I had bought earlier). Is it possible to go wireless on my i-cable broadband connection using this ADSL wireless router ( Netgear DG834G - 54 MBPS)
Please help

Well i-cable's connection isn't ADSL, so as I read the router's datasheet you aren't going to be able to use it. You need a wireless router where the WAN port is Ethernet (to connect to the Ethernet port of the i-cable box), and the Netgear doesn't appear to have one.

You can buy basic wireless routers for about HK$400 or so.

Hello PDLM

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. From your reply, I am thinking that there is no way to convert the Ethernet output of cable modem into the ADSL input of wireless router?

Appreciate your prompt help. I will try to buy another wireless router.

When you get a wireless hub, if you have any problem connecting it to i-cable, talk to me. I use D-Link Dl-634m wireless hub with i-cable. [email protected]

On you wireless router, does it support multiple types of connection? icable should have given you a modem, the modem has a ethernet port that connects to your router, in your router setup menu, look for "direct connection and obtain IP from isp" definatly not pppoe which most adsl use. If you dont have this option, then you will need a new router, I bought a belkin wireless G a while back for around $300.

Hi Guys,

I currently have a pccw broadband adsl connection but I am about to get an i-cable broadband fibre optic connection.

I use PPoe to connect to ppcw.

Does anyone know what settings I will have to use to connect to the i-cable broadband using the airport extreme.

I share 4 devices currently and I assume I will be able to do this with the new icable connection and the airport extreme router.

Thanks for any help,

Paul

hk & s'pore 30m fibre = adsl2, while 100m/500m fibre = vlan - vlan is locked by all service providers & is problematic to extend to diy wireless router... unless provided under tariff charge...

after all else fails you may try using your mac note or your pc/note (w/suitable app) to reset airport express to "Bridge" mode...

30m fibre = adsl2

Rubbish. ADSL2 is copper and used for connections up to 8Mbit/s in HK (the standard goes as far as 12Mbit/s, or 24Mbit/s for ADSL2+). The 30Mbit/s service in HK is provided by fibre to the building plus a VDSL final drop on copper.
