the Speedtouch 516 is Ethernet terminal, it doesn't have USB port. so, you will not need firmware or drivers, it has it's firmware. But you will need and Ethernet port on your PC. you just plug it to PC Ethernet port then configure it with the ISP settings. you can use it on your PC directly. you don't need the router become it already has a NAT. http://www.speedguide.net/broadband-view.php?hw=32
if you have more than one PC, connect it to a "Ethernet switch" then connect the your PCs to the other ports of the switch. if you have less than four PCs on ethernet (not Wifi), and you didn't buy the Speedtouch 516 yet, get Speedtouch 546 (it has 4 Ethernet ports) or Speedtouch 780 (4 Ethernet ports& wifi) ________________________________ From: lux-integ <lux-in...@btconnect.com> To: speedtouch@ml.free.fr Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 9:54:21 PM Subject: [speedtouch] linux-copmpatible speedtouch modem(s) for adsl2 Greetings, I have been using speedtouch 330's (behind a linux-based router) since 2004 and recently upgraded my adsl service to adsl2. I found the service does not work with the speedtouch 330. I quick dig on the internet and what I found suggested the speedtouch 516 does adsl2. Does anyone have a recipe for getting the speedtouch 516 (or equivalent) goojng on a linux (modern kernel 2.6.30) box (i.e. where to find firmware, where to put firmware, how to configure pppOATM or PPPOE or chap etc etc) for the adsl2 compitable speedtouch modem(s) Suggestions will be appreciated. yours sinceely lux-integ Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:speedtouch-requ...@ml.free.fr?subject=unsubscribe Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:speedtouch-requ...@ml.free.fr?subject=unsubscribe
