Chorus Broadband

rebellad

I am thinking of getting Chorus broadband and have a router/modem left over since my eircom broadband days. Is there anyway this router can be adapted to be used for Chorus Broadband?? What type of router/modems do they use for the chorus broadband?? BTW I have a Netopia 3300

I dont think so. The router/modem you have is most likely an ADSL router, whereas Chorus uses cable.
If it was specifically a broadband router then you could use it in conjunction with the cable modem but by the sound of it, its an integrated ADSL modem.
Therefore its unlikely.

If its the Netopia model eircom supply then no.

Most likely Chorus will give you a cable modem and you'll need to get a wifi router ( make sure its not an ADSL modem / router combi ).

You will get a cable modem from Chorus. However, you will need some sort of NAT or firewall device. If you only have the one computer, you can install a software firewall but I don't like these.

I'm getting in chorus broadband too , and was thinkin the same thing, there are gona be two people usin the connection and i was gona share it out over the wireless router from eircom. Any other way of doin this

ADSL routers won't work with cable, as they have an ADSL modem built-in and cable doesn't use ADSL.

What you need to get is a broadband router. Any from this page should work:
