  1. I'm not very familiar with eastern telecom's internet, especially the modem. maybe it would be helpful if you post the model of your modem?

     

    if the modem already connects to the internet automatically (I'm guessing this is a modem/adsl router) then you do not have to configure anything in your WiFi router, just remember to set the encryption and to change the username/password for the router.

     

    in fact, I would guess further that if your modem is indeed a modem/adsl router, you can also get something called a WAP (wireless access point) instead of a router.

     

    Thanks for the information and yes you are correct sir. I check the exact

    modem and its a Sphairon Turbolink AR860 ADSL. Any suggestion on

    what type of WAP to use?

     

    Do I need to use some settings on the pc's?

  2. here'w what you need:

     

    1. WiFi router. Any brand will do.

    2. PCI WiFi card for your desktop.

    3. WiFi cardbus or USB wifi for your laptop if your laptop has no built-in WiFi. If it does have it then disregard buying this.

     

    After buying these, now would be a good time to READ THE ACCOMPANYING MANUALS.

     

    Attach the PCI WiFi card in an available slot inside your desktop CPU. after attaching the PCI card, install the necessary drivers.

     

    Attach the CAT-5 cable from the modem to your wireless router. depending on the brand, enable the security feature (specifically enable encryption) in your router and then take note of the key. also, you need to configure your WAN connection PPPoE to enable automatic connection. READ THE ACCOMPANYING MANUAL. BTW, you should have your username and password handy as it is necessary for configuring your router. as an after thought, you need to change the default username and password to access your router, or else anyone can just use your internet connection.

     

    connect to the internet via WiFi configuration. make sure the WiFi adapter is enabled in your laptop. there should be a switch or a function key to turn it on.

     

    the most important thing to remember is to never tell bayantel that you have attached a router or else you would be charged extra. never call them up and say "hey guys, I have a wireless router here and I was wondering if a technician can come over and install it since I do not know how to set it up". Believe me, they will ask P300.00 just to setup your router. I've got a neighbor who did just that.

     

    this information is very helpful. i have eastern telecom at my house would like to

    apply this however I would connect directly my pc to the router via cable and

    use wifi for my laptop.

    however as I checked my dsl modem connects to the internet automatically. meron

    pa ba ako dapat gawin or are there any special router that is used for this kind of

    connection?
