Re: [PLUG] Verizon DSL modem question
|
When I got DSL almost two years ago I had the offer for a wireless
router or what looked like a modem but turned out to be a wired router
with a built-in modem (I believe it's a Verizon-rebranded Westell
6100.). It took a little tinkering, but I managed to set the
modem/router combo to a bridge (effectively making it just a modem) and
use my own router.
Depending on your area, you will have to set your own router up with
either PPPoE with your primary account username and password, or just
plain old DHCP. I've set Verizon PPPoE up with Linksys routers before
(using stock Linksys firmware, DD-WRT, and Tomato) and had no trouble.
I know almost all routers come with a PPPoE option, and have since
forever, so Buffalo router should be no different.
