my 10mbps plan coming tmr and i just realise that my briteport 8010 modem is not adsl2+,

could i still use my briteport 8010

is the 2wire modem reliable? or do i need to change to another modem? is the modem setup easy?

you guys talked about "bricked". what does it mean by bricked?

can anyone help me?

its ok if u disable wifi and usb and all other non essential functions, and not use DMZ

kaisin · Jul 26th, 08, 01:59 PM

what do u mean? i need it for wifi for my laptops

initialdae86 · Jul 26th, 08, 08:22 PM

bro let me tell you something. if ur modem is near ur laptop jus use a lan cable to connect ur lappie to it. much better. if u rly bo bian must wireless, i advise you dun surf while dling thing or go too far from ur modem

am using a singnet 3mpbs wireless connection setup
everything works well
it doesnt make sense if i change to a 10mbps and i cant do a wireless setup
can anyone comment?

initialdae86 · Jul 26th, 08, 10:55 PM

for wireless, whether u got 1 mbps or 1000mpbs if u suay u also will dc. now ur 3mpbs any problems? if dun have.. change to 10 shuld be no problem also. you also can try d-link routers if the 2wire doesnt work well.. btw i use lan cable, 10mbps to plug my laptop when im playing, it works better la

brick = turn into stone and no way to revive it again. and again you could use it as a paper weight...

2wire modem work ok for me.. feel like changing but scare will mess up my prefect torrent speed.. btw got any other better "modem/router with fix line voice" combo to replace the default modem issued by singtel?
