Dave/Home Internet 1 Home Internet This snip holds my notes made while helping Stan upgrade his internet connections/terminal infrastucture. His current phone supplier is __Talk Talk__. 1.1 Phone Options __Talk Talk__ broadband comes by default with a modem, which I assume has a USB cable. Their web site page, {link:Guide to Installation|http://www.talktalk.co.uk/talktalk/servlet/gben-server-PageServer?article=MAIN.UK.TALKTALK.STATIC.HELP.BBHELP.BBINSPC} talks about both a USB cable and a recommended ethernet cable. The {link:Setting up Broadband|http://www.talktalk.co.uk/talktalk/servlet/gben-server-PageServer?article=MAIN.UK.TALKTALK.STATIC.HELP.BBHELP.MODEM} 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 __Talk Talk__ sales recommend upgrading to __Talk2Talk Int'l__ plan. 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. ~~2nd Jan 2008~~ 1.1 Mail Browser appliance options i.e. what computer? The options above mean that either a laptop, which allows a choice between wireless or ethernet, or USB or a desktop device which is unlikely to have the wireless option. 2008-01-02 17:09:05.925 2008-01-02 17:00:47.951
