Replacement for eircom router

Grilled Cheesus

Hope someone can help me out here.
Long story short my eircom router is broken and I need to pick up a new one ASAP (OH requires internet access for work)

Would I be able to pick one up in PC world or Argos easily enough for not too expensive? Does it matter that it's not the one supplied by Eircom?

Gonna be in the dog house til I get this sorted!

It works fine through ethernet cable you can have it for nothing if if you're stuck


But yeah all routers should work PC world will have one anyway

Any dsl modem router will do fine. Make sure it has a dsl modem and is not what is often known as a cable router.

For example:

http://netgear.co.uk/home/products/wirelessrouters/work-and-play/DGN2200.aspx

And you will need these settings:

Basic Modem Config:
Username: eircom@eircom.net
Password: broadband1
Encapsulation: PPPoE
Multiplexing: LLC Based
VPI: 8
VCI: 35

Cheers Dave, that's really nice of you to offer- I'm in Dublin myself so I'll check out the local shops first but if I strike out and can't get anything sorted I'd say the missus will be making me drive down to you!

Thanks Dub45, didn't know there was a difference between the two so that's great info!

Well we'll see what PC world has to offer tomorrow then

yeah you can pick up a cheap enuf one in pc world or try any guys that repair pc@/lap tops, they may have a second hand one for half nothing

I have two eircom wireless routers one of which I dont use, your welcome to it free of charge if you still need one. PM me if you want it.

the motorola netopia 2247 modem/router that eircom gives you is very bad i replaced mine 3 time there **** i recommened you go out and buy a proper router like a d link or a netgear it may take more time to config those routers/modems but in the long run your better off
