Hi,
Have a BeBox (thomson 780) and a Netgear DG834G.
Due to mains power cables not getting on with running the ADSL/phone signal near them, I have to have a main router near the Master BT socket, and then run a CAT5 cable upstairs (network signal survies the mains cable trap!).
I also use VOIP for work, and currently just use the VOIP port built-in to the BeBox.
I also belive the Netgear is a better router.
Therefore, is it possible to:-
1. connect the Netgear DG834G to the BT Master socket for the ADSL+, and let this router be the "main daddy"?
2. use the BeBox upstairs as a dumb ethernet switch/voip?
If so... what would I be looking at?
I appreciate I could stick the Netgear into "bridge" mode (if that's the right phrase), and forward on the broadband to the BeBox - but then the BeBox is "the daddy", which I was hoping to avoid...
edit: and yes I could stick the BeBox downstairs, put in "bridge" mode, but then I have no VOIP ports upstairs - yes I could buy an adapter or even a proper VOIP phone - but hopefully I won't have to?
Ta.
