Hi
I use a standard "Netgear 624". It is connected to my main computer by a Lan cable which is also used for the initial set up and is my main local server.
I have a Lan connection to the computer in the garage.
Everything else is on the wireless circuit (including a couple of my Neighbours who can't get ADSL). I use the simple security of mac addresses which works OK for our neighbourhood.
The ADSL modem is connected to the input of the 624 via another Lan cable.
A couple of weeks ago I lost my ADSL for 48 hours. I pulled the Lan cable out of the ADSL modem and stuck it into my Next G Bigpond Elite Gateway that I use for internet at Wiruna switched it on and immediately had internet available on my systems.
I left it there for two days then tried the ADSL modem again. it was working so I just stuck the Lan cable back into it and it worked straight away back on the ADSL and turned my portable modem off.
What could be simpler than that!
