Simcfc73 Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 What a rubbish day i have had If it wasn't for the pub lunch i would be more moody. Zen have swiched us over to LLU with all the 21CN that goes with it and when i came in this morning I found my ever reliable BeWan ASDSL modem in my smoothie isn't compatable Such a shame as I liked having the ability to sort out problems from one box... and the nice reboot on errors that smoothwall had so if the line went down it rebooted itself. Anyway I was in a ruch and CCL didn't have much choice in the shop so I got a Belkin ADSL2+ G router. Eventually got it working (the port forwarding baffled me... why change the name to virtual server???) but I can't get the bridging working on the router. Can anyone recommend a ADSL2+ router thats nice and reliable which does bridging with smoothwall.... prefer the bridging method as the Lan method I am using now just doesn't seem right.
AngryTechnician Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I feel your pain; my Draytek Vigor 120 stopped getting a PPP connection via IPCop after the 21CN switchover (though curiously it works fine when plugged into a Windows box). The Vigor 110 still works great, but they are discontinued - actual ADSL modems are a real rarity these days.
john Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Have you asked the guys at Smoothwall to see if they have anything they can recommend at all?
tom_newton Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 It's a hard call - they keep discontinuing the good stuff and replacing it with cheap We're working on finding a decent adsl2+ internal, there's some aussie chappies building one that might "do a job". I'll see what support think - we use linksys AM200 in the office, but they are also discontinued afaik
tom_newton Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Vigor 120 *should* work from the spec. I'll see if i can get one and make support bite the bullet first before recommending it!
MatthewL Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Netgear do some modems with a RJ45 port on it, not sure on the model I got but I use it is my router every fails, plug in and go for me.
Simcfc73 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 I bought a Vigor 120 and it runs like a dog... need to check it without the smoothie when the kids go home but its only getting 1meg throughput.
mrbios Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Replaced our dieingpiece of zyxel junk today with a Cisco 867, fantastic bit of kit, came highly recommend and now i highly recommend it too!
