    Digweb DSL yes.
    Digiweb Metro, Wireless, Satellite, Mobile: No
    The router part can't be used ethernet to ethernet, but only with the DSL modem.

    Also the normal Metro & Wireless modems need a Router to have more than one PC, so disabling the Router part of Netopia and using it as an access point won't work.

    You need an ethernet WAN router + wiFi box if you are not on Digiweb DSL. Argos call them cable routers. komplett.ie just calls them ethernet routers.

    If it has a DSL phone socket, then wrong kind of router for Cable, Metro, Wireless, Satellite etc.

    Digiweb DSL (over phoneline) or Digiweb wireless (eg. Metro)?

    It'll work fine with Digiweb DSL, just enter your Digiweb username/password into the Netopia and away you go.

    It won't work with Digiweb wireless.

    Edit: must type faster.:)
