This snip holds my notes made while helping Stan upgrade his internet connections/terminal infrastucture. His current phone supplier is Talk Talk.

Phone Options

Talk Talk broadband comes by default with a modem, which I assume has a USB cable. Their web site page, Guide to Installation talks about both a USB cable and a recommended ethernet cable. The Setting up Broadband states that there is an option between wired and wireless routers. The wireless router attracts a ?20 one off charge.

The latter page states that the default devices are:-

• smartax mt882, a wired xDSL modem from Huawei, its web site is down or
• echolife hg520s, is the wireless version also from Huawei

If we opt for the non-wireless connection, is there a physical constraint on where the modem sits wrt to the NTU or the desktop.
