    Ah, the vernerable WRT54G (linux version).

    It has no ADSL modem built-in. But you can hook it up to a modem that doesn't have wireless, and use it to add wireless capabilities.

    WRT54G's work fine with the NTL cable modems. Just run a cable from the WAN port on the WRT54G to the LAN port on the cable modem. Set the WRT54G to collect an address by DHCP through the modem.

    An NTL Modem wont work with Eircom if thats what you mean. Have Eircom not supplied you with a modem? It really does help when posting on here to state who your isp is and what you are trying to achieve!!

    The NTL Atlanta is a cable modem and will ONLY work when NTL (UPC) enables it on their cable. It belongs to them.
