    Hi all,

    I'm just looking to see if I can use a previously purchased wirelss modem/router with the one eircom has supplied.

    The Belkin one I was using had much better range than the one eircom supplied me with. Cant get wireless in half the areas I could before.

    Can I

    a) use the old Belkin one instead of the Eircom supplied modem/router

    or if not

    b) can I set it up as a wireless access point?

    Eircom specs:
    ZyXEL P-660HW-T1 v3

    Belkin:
    N Wireless F5D8633-4

    Thanking you kindly!
