With all these new plans comming out, im thinking about switching from woosh over to an xtra plan.

I asked telecom if my router would be compatiable with their services, but they replied with a bunch of rubbish that didnt answer my question, so i thought id come here and ask :D

does anyone know if the Linksys Wireless-b broadband router model no: BEFW11S4 is compatiable with their broadband?

also is it easy to put the filter on sky digital?

cheers

I wouldn't bet on it if it wasn't bought in NZ or if it isn't Telepermit approved.

If you're a new ADSL customer with Xtra, I think they'd give you a free connection and free modem as well.

The BEFWS11 is a Wireless B router and not an ADSL modem. Assuming you get an ADSL modem with an ethernet connection and not just a USB connection it will work fine - 99% have both these days.

It will work just fine, when connected to a DSL modem. You don't need a telepermit unless the device is a modem directly connected to the Telecom network. In this case the router is connect to the modem.

If you already have this, use with the DSL modem. If not, I am sure you can find a DSL modem with router capabilities at DSE.

No need for telepermit unless it is directly connected to the cooper. If a DSL modem feeds this router then only the DSL modem needs telepermit.

I had some problems with that once, My Router was demanding to use PPPOE but thats incompatible so I did something along the lines of (this was a long long time ago) letting the router think OE was working but the modem still connected with OA. Took a while to get that going and it was very fussy about it for a little while when I kicked the power out etc but now its been working for about 2+ years.

hmmmm, would it be easier to just get a new router then? or was confusing it into thinking it was compatiable fairly easy to do?

Sounds like a new router is the way to go. Either take the free DLINK one from Xtra, or buy a non-DLINK (they are a little flaky, but alright for free... I just dont think i would buy one again)

the 302 seems okay, but the wireless routers (i have had 4 now), seem to need rebooting every couple of weeks...
