I have recently moved to Portugal and signed up for boradban d here. They have supplied me with a Speedtouch 516v6 modem. I have connect fine with this. I also own a Draytek Vigor 2600.
My question is can i use the draytek as a wireless router. I havemanaged to connect to the internet via the draytek by just plugging the pc and modem into the lan sockets. I can't connect to internet through wirelss though, (i can connect to the router just not the internet)
I realise the Draytek is an ADSL router so intheory i should be able to connect to the internet directly to the internet but i can't seem to get all the nesscary settings from the modem.

Connect one LAN port of the Draytek to one LAN port of the Speedtouch and try again. If there are other PCs that needs to be connected, connect them also to the LAN ports of the Draytek.
