[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 674744, member: 24098"] Some DSL services use PPPoE, which in a sense "dials into" the ISP and authenticates. In many cases, the DSL modem handles this piece for you. Basically what Kash is saying is absolutely correct. The OP would need to disable the router (in many cases, this is referred to putting the DSL modem in "bridged" mode) and instead use the AE to handle the PPPoE connection. Cable modems use different technologies altogether... To the OP: My recommendation would be that if you do go this route, contact your ISP - they should be able to advise you on how to configure your DSL modem to "play nicely" with a 3rd party wireless router.
