Help! Where I live I can not get DSL or Cable, and so I use ISDN,
which works fine for my home office. I use a 3com OfficeConnect LAN
modem, to which I have connected a pc, laptop and phone. Since the
office doubles as a guest room, and my IBM laptop has a wireless G
card resident, I'd like to use wifi to work in other parts of my small
home when I have guests. I have had NO LUCK with wireless routers -
both Lynksys and Netgear say their routers don't work with ISDN (which
makes no sense to me, but what do I know?)
I emailed 3com with asking if there's a way to use wifi with their
modem. They don't support that model anymore, but a guy there
suggested that I need a wifi access point rather than a router.
What's the difference between an access point and a router?
Has anyone else out there succesfully used wifi with ISDN? If so,
what's the trick?
Thanks,
Nikki
