Buying an ADSL Router in the US ?

Butch · 2003-08-16 19:46:41

Hi, Pardon my ignorance, as I'm not an expert in ADSL. I am planning to connect to Netsource and share the connection with 3 devices. So I plan to buy an ADSL Modem/Router/Switch - like the Dlink 504. Is it possible to buy such modem/router (not that Dlink in particular) in the States or in other EU country than UK or ROI?…

Hi,

Pardon my ignorance, as I'm not an expert in ADSL.

I am planning to connect to Netsource and share the connection with 3 devices. So I plan to buy an ADSL Modem/Router/Switch - like the Dlink 504.

Is it possible to buy such modem/router (not that Dlink in particular) in the States or in other EU country than UK or ROI?

Is there anything specific in the ADSL protocol here that would be different than America or France, for instance?

Thanks,
Butch

Watch out for the connector on the router - i was unlucky enough to get a german zyxel p650h from a german site a good bit cheaper than the uk, but it was for ISDN (i.e. ADSL over ISDN), and the website didnt mention this, so it had to go back, and I ordered the UK version with POTS RJ11 connector.
