I've an ADSL connection - no cable available in our area.
Looking for a "N" router & this one has been recommended. Reviews seem positive.
Had a look on eBuyer & it's listed under "router - cable" & not "router - ADSL".
Will it not work with my ADSL connection then? Or will it?

No, it would need a separate ADSL modem.
You need an ADSL modem/router (both in one unit).No free lunch, and no free laptop

No it wont.Different connections & firmwear for one.Cable connects with a coaxial cable F connection & not an RJ 11.0 -
Thanks for clearing that up.
Is there a wireless ADSL router you can recommend? The next one I was recommended was an E4200, which I would get if it's the best thing under £100 but ideally I want something tall like the Asus - that takes up less floor space as this would be more suitable for where it's going to be located0 -
Don't you just love the internet.
A chap on neowin reckons he's using this with his ADSL.
Both parties can't be right.
I've sent an email off to ebuyer for clarification. I would've emailed ASUS but their contact seems to be only for people who've bought a product, not for people who are enquiring.0 -

Of course this wireless router can be used with ADSL provided that it is connected to either an ADSL modem or an ADSL router via Ethernet.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Ah damnit.
I want to use it in place of the current DG834PN.
As it's not going to fit the bill, do you have such a replacement in mind?0
