Vroomfondel1965 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 If I got this cable would the R2 be able to replace the ip router on my adsl line. I know I can replace the ip router with an openwrt enabled router so I just wondered.
BIG__DOG Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 HI, in short to your question the answer is no. Your isp router will probably be a modem/router combo and therefore you will need that in place to get a connection to the internet as the R2 does not have a built in modem.
BIG__DOG Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 You can buy a stand alone modem and connect any router to that no problem, that would be another solution and is 1 I and many others use. It all depends on your connection though. If you are on virgin you need their hub as a modem as it runs on docsis but that can be put into modem only mode which turns it into a stand alone modem.
Vroomfondel1965 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Posted January 4, 2021 It would have been for my adsl line, I just wondered if I could remove the isp router...thanks for the reply @BIG__DOG
