I have just gotten connected with telstra-clear and have an Dynalink RTA300W adsl router that i would like to use to broadcast wireless around my house.
How do I set it up so that it can use the static IP thing that the cable modem involves? i have had a play with some settings and have tried to read up on it but i cant get it to work.
If anyone could help me that would be great.

thanks.

Doubt you can, unless the ADSL router can be reconfiqured to allow one of the lan ports to be configured as a WAN port, a feature I have never seen then I doubt you can do it.

You will need to purchase a router, and preumably one with an integral Wifi AP, there are plenty to choose from here Ascent Wireless products  but be sure to choose one that is both a NAT router and AP. Such as this Edimax and this Belkin. Both of these I have used in their ADSL form and they seem to be fine, the Belkin as listed includes a USB client, you can get just the router for $92.

Others have recommended Linksys routers, however I understand you have to be careful which model is best, others may have comments there was a thread a week or so ago in this section with recommendations.
