edit: please correct me if i'm wrong, but i think i've made a mistake by buying this WNR3500L because the unit is a router only so i would need a modem to use it

am i correct ?

if i'm correct could someone please recommend one ?

thank you all, for everything

replabrobin said: I use a tp-link td-8816 adsl2 modem router with the WNR3500L. I have set it up as a bridged router so the 3500 handles login etc etc. I use toastman's tomato on the 3500 and have set up the 3500L on 192.182.0.1 with a separate local LAN on 192.168.1.x for the tp link.

isn't tp-link td-8816 a adsl modem (10/100) :confused: how many routers / modems do you have ?

anyway i've an old Zyxel modem / router (P660H-D1) so could i possibly upgrade the modem part to 10/100/1000 and use it bridged with my 3500L ?

BTW: i'll be upgrading to fiber in a couple of months or when finances allow, so if upgrading the P660H-D1 is a no go then i'll soon need a fiber modem soon, so any recommendations any welcome

P.S. i'm a linux user
