recommend wireless router!

welllll.......... if you leave everything on static and configure the new router it is sure to work.

Makes adding a new device to the network a bit harder, but also places less strain on the router. as well as making it that little bit harder for a wardriver.

I contacted Embarq an asked them if business accounts use or don't use DHCP. They stated "all are accounts use DHCP doesnt matter if its residential,consumer, buisness etc... they all use DHCP.

Well they are idiots business dsl has no sort of dhcp...

Can we host our own website?
Answer:

You can host your own website if you purchase EMBARQ Business DSLSM because it uses static IP addresses and the dedicated connection will keep your website up and running 24x7.

Can't you verify by checking the device that currently makes the connection?
( Don't forget the netmask as well )

I thought that myself and wasnt sure just based on your reply (no disrecpect to you I had to see for myself) and sure enough I called them and asked if Embarq business dsl uses DHCP they said NO and stated they use PPPoE.

I actually demanded to speak to a supervisor and they informed it does indeed use DHCP when in fact it uses PPPoE.

I think it's a good router actually - my daughter has the same one in Belfast and that's not let her down yet.

As far as the router. Get something with 802.11n :-)

Oh sorry - I realise I didn't see page 2 and was replying to a post way back. I was referring to the linksys router FWIW.

I bought a netgear WPN824 for the Doctors office. Looks cool with the blue lights on top for the wireless section. Doctors were very pleased this morning. From
