Trying to understand cable connection?
      #221771 - Tue Sep 13 2005 04:16 PM

Number two son is taking up lodgings for his university & social!! studies, looking to connect to broad band.

At the moment the house has a cable connection with ' Telewest ' the sales guy has gone around in circles so trying to understand, can we use the Belkin ADSL wireless router we already have to connect to BB via some kind of black box. Or, do we have to go down the route of locating a different way of getting all at the house on BB through a new router?.

Any telewest uses with advise??.

No, you can't use an ADSL router to connect to a cable modem, the two technologies are different. Here is an example of a router that can be connected to the Telewest modem via ethernet cable. The PCs can then connect via wireless to the router.
