Advice looking for none wi fi router please

cibie01 · Apr 22, 2016

Hi everyone.
i have been running a BT home hub 3 for some time and been getting interference on some medical equipment and measuring equipment (not good of coarse).
i have turned my wi fi of but the BT fon is still going strong and after much googling i contacted BT and after much fuss they say my fon is now turned off (even though it isn't).

i have been told by many people the fon can get turned back on with every little update its just a pain in the back side.

so can i ask as i never ever use wi fi and have both my PC's connected with a cable is there any decent routers out there that dont cost silly money that dont transmit in any way and a simple cable connection and nothing else, i cant seem to find any online they all have wi fi.

thanks for any advice and help.

Tons with an Ethernet WAN port, but if you need a DSL WAN port, there aren't very many. Trendnet makes a couple (e.g. the TDM-C504).

Worse case, you could put the BT Hub into a shielded enclosure and just run the DSL and Ethernet lines into the enclosure - use ferrite beads on them to help block the RF.

Or, did I misunderstand what you are looking for?

Thanks for your feed back.
just to make it a bit clearer for you (i hope) here is whats plugged in to the BT hub.

phone line ADSL
Ethernet x2
power lead

thats all i need

good idea about the shielded box, i have taken it to pieces before so i could removed the antenna but its a solid block soldered to the main board just impossible to remove.

That has a Ethernet WAN port. OP is looking for one with an ADSL WAN port.
