Linksys setup for iinet
Tedious geek drivel
I've just got my Linksys WAG54GS Wireless ADSL2+ router to connect to iinet, our Australian DSL provider. I'm posting the details here for my own reference as much as anything.
UK splitters/filters don't seem to work. Maybe an ADSL2+ thing. I'm directly connected, with all phones in the flat unplugged. Experimentation will follow.
The router is a Linksys WAG54GS. Firmware is 1.00.08. The configuration is:
| Encapsulation | RFC 2516 PPPoE |
| Multiplexing | LLC |
| Qos Type | UBR |
| Autodetect | Enabled |
| Username | {my username}@iinet.net.au |
| Connect On Demand | 99 Minutes |
Sweet, sweet 12Mb connection. The ATM stuff in there is almost certainly irrelevant, because it's PPPoE. My firmware is wired to work with BT ULL, so I'm just happy I didn't need to reflash it.
I recommend iiNet unreservedly. They have excellent service, excellent staff, and It Just Works. Well, it works after I faffed about with my modem settings a bit.
Happy.
