Modem for WRT350N

I was just wondering what Linksys Modems would you recommend to use with the WRT350N Wireless Router. I was thinking of getting a WAG325N Modem/Router and connecting the WRT350N to it... What do you recommend I should do. I am currently running a TP-Link TD-8840 Modem running ADSL1

Just a regular dsl modem would be fine. The one that you mentioned looks like a modem and wireless N router all in one.
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

How do I use my 8300 as a modem for my laptop

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. This is my first post...
I'm trying to set up my 8300 smartphone to be used as a tethered modem for my laptop to be able to get the full internet content anywhere with in cell coverage.
Question 1:
I got instructions from the 'BlackBerry HELP' icon on the phone (my question was: how do i use my device as a modem) which seemed very complete. The modem is dial-up and when I try to connect I get Error 718 (basically a timeout error).
Can anyone help?
Question 2:
Since this uses dial-up, would I be using my cell phone minutes?
Thank you, Lar

hello,
first thing is to look on the forum if people have already solved your issue. In this case, the tethering subject is quite frequent. You will certainly find your answer among these discussions :

Using cell phone as a 3G USB modem for Leopard

Hi All,
I just get an MacBook Pro the last week, I was happy with the UI of the OS at first sight, but when come to the setting of the network, I am really frustrated.
I get a SE P1i cell phone, I would like to use it as a usb modem for my MAC so that I can have 3G internet connection when on the road. But the problem is that, I can't connect it to my MAC at all!
Leopard can regonize my phone but it seems that none of the modem script(including the SONY ERICSSON script pre-installed) work for my phone. when I checked in the activity log, I see that the result of running every modem scripts are
"CCLExit: -6019 (Modem error, modem not responding.)"
I guess it should not be the problem of my phone as I try using SE K800i, the same result...
although I know that I can use the bluetooth rather the USB cable to connect them together, I would prefer USB cable as it is faster and more secure.
anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Can I use a non-FiOS modem for secondary ethernet from FiOS coax

I intend to set up a home theater PC to connect to a TV located in a different room from the current FiOS modem/router (Actiontec MI424). I may use an HTPC 'extender' in the room with the TV, connected by HDMI. However the Ceton Echo extender requires a direct ethernet connection, CAT5 I think. What I'm considering in a few months, when my Verizon contract is up, is to drop all service except high speed internet from Verizon. Then I could use the coax currently connected to the TV instead to connect to a modem or MoCA device which would output CAT5 ethernet to the HTPC extender.
I am not knowledgeable about ethernet and TV signals. From what I can gather, a MoCA connection is preferable to a powerline network and maybe even better than running a long CAT5/CAT6 cable from room to room, which I don't want to do. There is an Actiontec MoCA device available that claims to 'convert' from coax cable internet input to ethernet output. Would this work to supply the Ceton extender using the FiOS coax that currently supplies TV signals to my Verizon set-top box?
Even more preferable to me, I currently have an unused Zoom cable modem/router that is Docsis 3.0 certified and which worked well for Charter internet supplied by coax. It is less than 2 years old. Could I simply use this Zoom modem with the second FiOS coax in the living room, instead of buying a new MoCA device? That would mean I would be simultaneously using two coax-connected modems for ethernet: the Verizon-supplied Actiontec and my own Zoom modem/router. If not, what is different about the MoCA device vs. what a cable modem does?
I think what I don't understand is whether there is a difference in the signal currently available from the coax supplying the TV: is it 'normal' cable TV/internet that the Zoom modem should be able to convert to ethernet, or not? If this is possible, would I need to have Verizon do any configuring of it? I did try to connect it myself and was unable to make an internet connection. How do the providers control whether you receive through the coax ethernet-only or ethernet plus TV. I get that the phone service is just a form of VOIP managed through the Verizon ONT in the basement.
Solved!

MOCA frequencies are above those used for TV and can coexist on the same coax. All you need at the TV is a 1x2 splitter rated 1Ghz or better. One side goes to the TV. The other wide goes to the MOCA adapter.

A cat5 connection is most preferable. Second the MOCA. Third is powerline networking.

There are a number of available MOCA adapters.
What is a MOCA Bridge?

That Zoom cable modem won't work. MOCA and DOCSIS are two completely different technologies.
BTW, the Actiontec is NOT considered a modem.

VZ can enable or disable any of three services provided by the ONT individually.

Can I use a Nokia N80 as a modem for my G4 PowerBook?

I'm about to spend a month in Italy and will take my G4 PowerBook with me. I need to buy a new mobile phone and thought that if I buy the Nokia N80 Internet Edition I can also use it as a modem for my PowerBook and connect using UMTS or EDGE. I already have a prepaid SIM card with TIM (Italian mobile service provider).
Has anyone successfully used the N80 with their G4 PowerBook?
Cheers

USING BLACKBERRY 7290 AS MODEM FOR MACBOOK

I have been told this is possible. I have been on numerous boards with no help. I have been on PocketMac.com and downloaded the version to sync via usb. I need to find a way to use my 7290 as a modem for my Macbook. I have the new MacBook with Intel Core 2 duo and Mac OSX. Anyone out thereknow how this can be done? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

A Blackberry 8703e is a Sprint device, so you'll have to resolve the issue with Sprint.
Sprint fields what they term the Sprint PCS Business Connection. You'll need that option if it is not already part of your subscription plan, and you'll need to tether a laptop through your Blackberry 8703e and your carrier via USB. Bluetooth connections via DUN are not supported. To enable a connection, Sprint states that you'll need the Sprint Connection Kit, which you find for several different operating systems—including Mac OS X—here:
http://www4.sprint.com/pcsbusiness/support/downloads/index.jsp?internalId=downlo ads
Except that, I wasn't able to locate a package for your Blackberry when I looked there: only packages for Sprint's PC data cards seemed to be available. So, you must perform the recursive loop at this point, and contact Sprint.
I don't believe that anyone but Sprint will be able to resolve the issue for you. You certainly cannot do it without enabling the data option, which only they can activate.

Can I use my jetpack as a modem for another company?

I have internet through another company. Can I use the Jetpack as a modem for the other company? I don't want to have to buy any other equipment!!

No, it is a Verizon-only device. And, most likely, the other company wouldn't allow it as it would be incompatible with their services.

Need a Modem for my G4

Hello,
I just received a used G4 Power Mac Audio Digital version by way that the headphones and mic ports are arrainged, which tells me which version. The telephone line jack cube was turned to its blank side, and I turned it around to connect a regular phone line. When after I installed the America On Line software, the software could not find a modem. I don't think there is one in the computer. So I need to get a modem for it. Any Ideas on this?
Thanks

Welcome To  Discussions Patrick!
I think that all four models of the Power Mac G4 DA, came with a standard 56k v.90 internal modem.
It just may be, that the Modem/Network settings for AOL Dial-Up, in System Preferences are incorrect.
The configuration works for me on my iMac G3. You may need to make some adjustments for your particular Mac and Modem models.
Read the entire document. Pay attention to *Notes.
And if you have any questions, please ask them before preceeding.
Delete only the files listed, no more.
Sign off and Quit the AOL application.

"Send PPP echo packets"
"Use TCP header compression"
Click OK
On the TCP/IP screen, Configure using IPv4: Select "Using PPP"
On the Modem screen, Select your modem from the list. I'm using an iMac (Summer 2001), and I have "Apple Internal 56K Modem (v.90)" selected. Select your modem.
Check "Enable error correction and compression in modem"
"Wait for dial tone before dialing"
"Dialing": Tone
"Sound": On
"Show modem status in menubar" (This isn't really necessary, but it's handy.)
Also select your Country.
Then, still in "Network" preferences,
Location: "Automatic"
Show: "Network Port Configurations"
Make sure "Internal Modem", or however you connect, is checked and at the top of the list.
Click "Apply Now" at the bottom of the screen.
Quit System Preferences.
Before you sign on, you will have to reset your "Access Numbers" & "Location".
Load the AOL application.
On the Sign-On screen, Click "Setup".
Next screen, select: "Create a Location with Setup Assistant.
Click OK.
Next screen, select: "Add numbers from the list of access phone numbers".
Click OK.
Enter your Area Code, and click Next.
Click on an appropriate number to highlight, and then click "Add".
On the next screen, do not select either of the two "Dial" options.
Click OK.
Add at least 2 numbers in the same manner, and then click "Done".
That will take you back to your Sign-On screen.
On the Sign-On screen, Click "Setup" again.
Select "Add or change a modem or other connection".
Click "Next".
Click "Yes", on the resulting screen.
You should then be able to Sign On to AOL.
If everything is hunky dory, you can empty the Trash.

Blackberry a modem for a laptop

I have my blackberry set up as a modem for my laptop & it works. But I can't access my email. My OS is Vista. Does someone know if there is a special thing that needs to be done?

Check your carrier's webpages for the Blackberry stuff. They should have links to specific software for various connections between Laptops, OS's, etc... I came across mine for AT&T today while poking around. You should have an account for your wireless account that you can check.
hmmm, don't know how I wound up in the business section but check the Communication Manager-

USB wireless Modems for MAC

Hi Apple users,
Could an one tell me which USB wireless internet Modems support MAC OS X leopard 10.5.6 macbooks? Could you also tell me which one is the best and efficient USB modem for the MAC books? You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Naresh

You'll need to clarify what you're looking for. Do you need an actual phone-line modem? There are boxes you can connect to wirelessly and then dial out, but they're not as popular as they used to be. Likewise, are you looking for a phone line modem for the MacBook? Apple has one they officially support -- I think it's actually made by US Robotics.
What do you mean by "efficient"? Lowest power consumption? Best speed? Least heat?
If you're looking for what the cable and DSL providers call a "modem", nobody can recommend one until they know what you plan to connect it to. Most of them are actually routers or bridges, and not real modems (modulator-demodulator).

HT3152 I have triple play cable service. Phone service is internet based. i pay monthly charge for cable provider modem. I also want to use modem for my Apple ipad2. Can I replace with another modem that will support internet based phone as well as ipad2?

I have cable triple play service. Phone service ios internet based and depends on cable provider modem. I pay monthly charge for modem. I also want to use modem for ipad2. Is there any modem that can support both internet based phone as well as ipad2?

If I understand you correctly, I have the same configuration. My modem supports Internet and phone service and my television service bypasses the modem. It does not do any routing. It has a single Ethernet port and I plugged in an external router with a WiFi radio - Apple Airport Express. Works like a champ.
Configuration of the Express was difficult. I had to plug it in to AC power and to the modem. Then, I opened up Airport Utility and had to click "yes" for each recommendation. Then I had to really think hard to come up with a WiFi password. Took me a horrendous thirty seconds from start to finish!
