Hi All,
I have been reading a lot on this forum and that has resulted in me buying a decent AV system for my needs. However, my trouble today is not with the AV system but with my LAN network. I have tried google search to see solutions but nothing specific to my problem was found. I am absolute alien to networking and hence hope to get some help from forum members...
The problem is...
I have a BSNL ADSL router, this one is from year 2007 (i guess). The modem is Beetel - ADSL2+ 220BX1. It has input from telephone line (i am told that at the building the connection comes from fiber optic but in apartment it comes via normal telephone cable !) It has two outputs, 1 via LAN cable (currently connected to my desktop) and 1 for USB (currently idle).
I just came from Denmark where I was using a wifi router from Netgear Model CVG824G v3. This is a cable modem which has coaxial connection as the input.
I was planning to connect my netgear router to the bsnl modem and enable wifi at my home. However, since the input/output of these two modems are different (LAN/USB vs Coax) I am in a fix. I am short on funds right now and hence don't want to spend on buying another router. (I am also thinking of checking with BSNL if they offer wireless routers as a replacement or at subsidized rates)
Is there any way I can make use of existing wifi modem and connect multiple devices to the network?
Are there any wires with male/female connectors like LAN to coax or USB to coax which will solve the issue ?
Or is it too complex to solve due to different nature of modems (DSL vs Cable) ?
Thanx in advance for the help.
Best Regards,
Nikhil
