hello

i just bought this Synergy 21 S21610B DSL router with integrated modem from eBay Germany, but i'm having some problems configuring it. I live in Italy, and my german is not very good, but almost all documentation i found was in german, so i'm asking for help in english :)

First, the DSL port on the router was a RJ-45 port, while my ADSL line jack is a RJ-11 standard (telephone jack). How can i put these jack together?

Second, apart from the ADSL jack, i tried to connect my computer to the router, and the port LED on both router and NIC lit up, so connection is ok, only thing, i can't get the setup page of my router. In the router guide it says that the config page is at the address 10.0.0.2, but i can't get to it. So what's the story? It's the first time i try to setup a router, so i'm not very familiar, so any help would be appreciated. The router says it's a T-DSL router, does it mean it's unfit for my italian ADSL?

thanks for your time, any suggestions are welcome

When I did a student exchange thing to germany a while ago all the houses I saw had a dedicated RJ-45 internet port for what ever service they were paying for. It was crazy! That is probably why the router has an RJ-45 jack for the wan port even though it is a modem. I faintly remember them mentioning tdsl when I was over there, I guess that is german adsl or something. If italy doesn't have that service you are pretty much screwed :(
As for the config page have you reset defaults on the modem? If you got it on ebay it probably has someone elses config still.

If your internet comes through a standard phoneline you will probably need a different router/modem. I doubt there is any sort of adapter to use the router you have :(

hello

thanks for answering. Are you sure about this, i mean, as far as i know, DSL standards are pretty much the same, so routers and modems are quite universal. However i'll try sth to convert this stuff, afterwards, i'll sell it :(.
