Does the modem also have an RJ45 on the back?

Someone else mentioned this in a shop today, I have no idea what on earth it is ????? :-/
There is the cable going into the back from outside, USB socket that a wire goes to my computer, a Power wire, then an empty socket with ENET under the empty socket...
Yup, thats the kiddie

Personally, I'd get a proper router, and add a proper wireless access point.

I know Mr DTM uses some Netgear piece of junk, and when they work, they are usable.


Somehow, though, I reckon you lot would linch me if I trusted the OOF to the mickey mouse protection offered by virtually all all-in-one wireless routers.  For security reasons I won't say what I use  :-X

Horses for courses......no point in me spending loads on networking when I only have a single computer and occasionaly a laptop and palm connected.

Last router I bought (of the same type I use here on both lines) cost £3.94 inc p&p from ebay.  It actually cost the seller £4.25 in postage alone  :o

Assuming the Canon is networkable, get a USB print server

Technology should have progressed further than that by now... you're kidding me aren't you?  :P







Pretty sure the Home Hub will do it without, but, nobody seems to know how.. there are 2 USB's on the Hub,,,,  the instructions are as clear as mud...

No leave the printer on the pc, it can then be installed as a network printer.

I wouldn't even bother spending that  :-? Just ring up your service provider, tell em you're paying too much for your service and are considering changing. They'll be only too happy to bung you a wireless in the post. Most have improved anyway and the equipment supplied by the provider is likely to be more reliable. Just about all broadband subscriptions are supplied with a wireless router anyway so it's worth a call for nowt.

You, of all people, should realise what a piece of junk Home Hub is!  A so-so product if bought from Alcatel/Thomson or whoever owns Speedtouch now, but knobbled by BT's 'customisations'

Still, I'm guessing you get it free though, so can't argue with that.
