"ADSL"

Well basicly, can someone please tell me what ADSL is? I have BT Broadband. The Wireless Router i'm getting to play Live says:

"Please note : This router doesn't have a built-in ADSL modem. You would need an external Ethernet ADSL modem for this router to work on ADSL in the UK."


I've had BT Broadband for a good while now, and never read or seen anything about it saying it's ADSL


Thank you :-)

Hey Biggles! Don't worry about it. Bullett helped me out. He's been way helpful to me :-) Heh, Netgear is the stuff that's on it's way to me now and be here in the morning (thought i'd have it early so i get it set up)

I appreciate you (in a manly way! roar!!) Bullett :-D

Sorry Daveus, I forgot to reply to you in the Live FAQ. I'll update it later with some new routers and stuff. Netgear are good, if a tad pricy.

Thank you so much Bullett :-)

If I have any trouble setting up, I know who to ask ;-)

I can fully, 100% guarantee that combination will work. It's what I use when I want to take my Xbox into the lounge.

The modem is incredibly easy to set up, the Wireless Bridge takes a little more time as you need to synchronise the settings betweent he modem and the Xbox otherwise the Xbox won't be found.

Ok, these two babies are in my trolley:

Netgear DG834G v" 54Mbps Wireless Router With Built-In ADSL Modem
Netgear WGE101 54Mbps Wireless Ethernet Bridge

I'm just gonna ring them up and ask them if they're compatible with Xbox Live. Don't fancy paying £130 for a couple of things and find out when they arrive that it won't work to go on Live...I be a bit pizzed :-S

Do I need to ring them up or do you know 100% certain that they're compatiable with Xbox Live ???

Hmm, that's the same one I linked to, only on a different part of the site.

Yes, get that.

I don't think I need cables? I'm doing it wireless

Meh. I've just got up.

He's after a wireless solution I think.
