what is a difference between a adsl2+ modem and a wireless router say, linksys wireless-n router?

Well firstly a modem is the device that will allow you to access the internet...pretty much necessity, the linksys wireless router, uses that internet that you have and allows you to use other wireless compents in your house. Or say if you modem is upstairs and you have 2-3 computers, you can get wireless cards for them and share ur internet connection anywhere in your house.

For more clarity:\nCable is a fiber-optic line technology that uses the same network as a TV with upgraded server-side hardware.  DSL is a direct channel to a local switching station through an alternate port in a phone line.  DSL's speed depends on your distance from a switching station.  Cable's speed is usually constant, but can depend on usage on your grid, or neighborhood.  Cable is usually always faster.  Cable is the better choice.

Linksys sells a 'booster'. Also, they now make routers with built in booster circuitry. It might also be that the 'new' modem is simply bad. Have a tech check it out.

Routers are Layer 3 (Network Layer)\nHubs and Switches are Layer 2 (Data Link Layer)\n\nCheers :)

I often find myself recommending Netgear routers.  It's all I personally use for my networking needs.  They are easy to set up and maintain. And best of all They generally have 3 year warranty's. \n\nOn the contrary, I recommend Linksys routers if you want extreem flexability with your router, namily the ability to load linux on it and do other advanced things. \n\nFor most people the added "features" of the Linksys router is not worth it.  The netgear routers are by far easier to setup than the linksys routers.\n\nAs far as security is concerned, they both work well.  Provided you understand the pro's and con's of the encryption and other security methods offered by the product.\n\nHopefully that helps.

You have several different communications gear that are lumped into the average piece of gear called a wireless router.\n\nFirst, broadband can be either cable ( like tv ) or ADSL ( like telephone ). Both have faster communication than dial-up. To use any of these services requires a modem for that service. \n\nIf you want wireless communication, you can buy a piece of gear called a wireless router that you connect to the modem. This will allow you to share 1 modem connection with multiple pcs. That is the router part. The wireless part allows any pc with the correct wireless card and the correct password to connect to the modem too. I use the Zoom ADSL X6 all in one. It is fast and secure.

ADSL Modem + Router with 10 ports , 10 LAN Cables , also all computers should have network cards installed (it can be onboard on the motherboard or a pci device).\n\nthen you will need to connect all the LAN cables to the Modem / Router and then modify each of your computers to use network (settings depends on what modem you are using) , by typing a IP like 10.0.0.2 in the browser you will get to the control panel of your modem , which its written in the manual of your modem . then get your ADSL ready , test by going to www.yahoo.com if it worked the work's done , if not check if all the IPs on the network are properly configured , go to control panel , network connection , properties of the LAN connection select Internet Protocol , TCP/IP click properties and select the right IP address for them, note that only one computer can have a specific IP address, for example on the network you can have 10.0.0.3 only once , the next should be 10.0.0.4.\nall other details depend on your modem / router , hope it helped.

Get a Wireless DSL Router (LinkSys is one example) and connect it between your computer and the DSL modem. Connecting all of your computers to the Wireless DSL Router will allow you to have internet connection for all.

Review of the Linksys WAG354G wireless, ADSL2+, 4 port router. This new 802.11g wireless router from Linksys is a break from their traditional style of routers with significant design flair over their standard offering.\nWhat's in the box\n\n    * Router\n    * Power supply\n    * Ethernet cable\n    * Telephone cable\n    * Microfilter\n    * Manual on CD-ROM\n    * Quick start guide\n\nGetting Started\nThe router itself is about the size of a double CD, much smaller than a normal Linksys router. It can be stood either horizontally (on 4 small rubber feet) or, vertically by twisting round a flat stabilizer (stops it falling over). Unlike most linksys wireless gear, there are no visible external antenna, but a hidden RP-SMA connector is under a pop-out flap on the top of the router (when standing vertically). There are no rubber feet to hold it in place when mounting it vertically and being so light it slide around quite easily.\n\nThe router has all of the standard features you'd expect : firewall, port fowarding, dmz host, dhcp server, remote logging and upnp.\n\nAs with all wireless gear, it's always best to start configuring it via ethernet first, so wireless security can be enabled before connecting to it wirelessly the first time. Initial configuration is much the same as for other linksys routers. Most of the initial settings are designed to get the router to work straight away out of the box, with the minimum of configuration. Both the firewall and UPNP default to turned on. My preference is to turn UPNP off as I want to know what software is trying to poke holes in my firewall (especially handy with kids in the house), but I can understand Linksys turning it on, as I'm sure this results in fewer support calls.\n\nInitial wireless configuration defaults to unencrypted, but turning WPA encryption on and setting a password is very simple. Unlike some other wireless routers, there doesn't appear to be an option to generate a random long password for WPA which is a shame, so you'll have to make one up (try to make it at least 20 characters long).\n\nThe ADSL router settings page did not default to the correct VPI/VCI settings for the country it was bought in, but the router did come with a sheet listing the default values for most countries. Whilst this is a small point, it leaves it very easy to get the wrong settings if you don't already know to look them up. The ADSL line status page gives a good amount of detail on you line status (initializing/connected/etc), including the attenuation and signal to noise ratios. You can configure the router to either connect on demand or to stay connected to the adsl. I don't really see the point of connect on demand, as it just adds a delay the first time you want to access a web page or email. There seems little point in not leaving the router always connected.\nPerformance\nTesting the wireless router on a marginal ADSL line gave a much more stable connection (with better SNR figures) then the ISP provided USB modem it was replacing. I'm guessing that in order to support ADSL2+ the router has a more sensitive modem.\n\nWith no external antenna I wasn't expecting fantastic range or speeds, but the wireless connection speed never dropped below 36Mbps anywhere in the house even going through thick brick walls. I'd mounted the router vertically on the desk so not being blocked by a pc case probably helped the reception. Transfering data wirelessly was very stable, and the wireless connection seemed to add around 0.5 ms to ping times, which is quite acceptable.\n\nAfter hours of continuous operation neither the power supply or router were hot to touch, though the router does have a large amount of venting holes which obviously helps\nConclusion\nIf you are after a wireless router and adsl modem all in one, then I don't think you will be dissappointed with this offering from Linksys. It was both simple to configure and get working, and has

In packet-switched networks such as the Internet, a router is a device or, in some cases, software in a computer, that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination. The router is connected to at least two networks and decides which way to send each information packet based on its current understanding of the state of the networks it is connected to. A router is located at any gateway (where one network meets another), including each point-of-presence on the Internet. A router is often included as part of a network switch. \n\nA router may create or maintain a table of the available routes and their conditions and use this information along with distance and cost algorithms to determine the best route for a given packet. Typically, a packet may travel through a number of network points with routers before arriving at its destination. Routing is a function associated with the Network layer (layer 3) in the standard model of network programming, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. A layer-3 switch is a switch that can perform routing functions. \n\nAn edge router is a router that interfaces with an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. A brouter is a network bridge combined with a router. \n\nFor home and business computer users who have high-speed Internet connections such as cable, satellite, or DSL, a router can act as a hardware firewall. This is true even if the home or business has only one computer. Many engineers believe that the use of a router provides better protection against hacking than a software firewall, because no computer Internet Protocol address are directly exposed to the Internet. This makes port scans (a technique for exploring weaknesses) essentially impossible. In addition, a router does not consume computer resources as a software firewall does. Commercially manufactured routers are easy to install, reasonably priced, and available for hard-wired or wireless networks.

As advised by other you would need a wireless router but before you go out buy one you need to know what sort of broadband connection you have ie through cable or through phone line commonly know as DSL/ADSL.\nAs both have different type of wireless router due to different type of connection coming into your house.So check the type of broadband connection you have before you go out and buy.

if your modem connects two different networks-subnets,it is called bridge.for instance,you have two different offices,want to connect two different networks.you must use bridge for it.\nif your modem dedicates ip addresses of your pc,etc,it is called router.Routers use in network to find best path to destination.They were smart device in network.Shortly routers manage-run networks.

Is this in regards to a modem&#92;router, if so what model?

No, even an ADSL2 modem is not enough to get you ADSL2+ connectivity. You will need an ADSL modem with firmware that is capable of supporting ADSL2+. This also requires your internet service provider such as AT&T, Verizon, British Telecom, etc., to provision your line for the highest speeds, which may cost you much more than the basic ADSL1 service. In some cases, the distance from service provider will also gate the maximum speeds you can get. If this becomes an issue, please consider switching to a different provider who may have a central office closer to your home.

Your modem IP is correct at 192.168.1.1.  You have to edit the modem configuration to "bridge" it.  the router is also correct at 192.168.2.1 - you then put the modem info (password, etc) into the router so that it will control the modem.  contact linksys and they will walk you through it.
