Thinking of getting neptune apex...question about networking.

The best thing to do is get rid of the Siemens POS from Telus, get a normal DSL modem from Telus, buy yourself a descent wireless router, get a Static IP address from Telus and do a proper port forward.

I disabled the wireless on my router from Telus (not sure offhand which model) and have it connected to an Apple Airport Extreme. Does that help the situation any?

I've never really looked at my IP over a period of time... would mine by dynamic by default?

I have just been reading about disabling the wireless on the telus router so it acts as just a modem, then using a better router and a wireless access point near where my tank is. Sounds like that could work but ill try to setup with the Siemens modem first too see if its a hassle.

Is it possible to request just a stand alone modem from telus to get rid of the Siemens?
