    i have an eircom wireles modem model Zy XEL and about 10 meters from the modem the signal strength drops considerably, Is there a modem that will give a strong signal up to 20 meters or more from where its connected to phone line

    is your router near a cordless phone, microwave oven or tv signal sender? these devices will severely impact wifi signal strengths.

    if you do buy a new adsl modem get a wireless N full type... they have 300metre range and are awesome.

    netgear or link-sys do great ones.

    make sure its a dual band type 'n' because if it isnt as soon as one wireless 'g' type device connects it reverts back to 'g' and the lower speeds of that standard

    any adsl2 modem will work with eircom

    use these settings

    If your modem isn’t listed above, then you will need to ensure that it supports PPPoE (Point to Point over Ethernet), and enter the correct settings shown below.
