Earlier this month I decided to buy a wireless modem. After resisting the temptation for so long, I finally succumbed to the urge to going wireless. I’ve got an AZTECH USB Modem that I have been using for years connected to my desktop PC.

I used to disconnect the modem to my desktop and connect it to my Laptop when I want to connect the laptop and work on the laptop while watching the TV. But this prove to be a challenge for me since my three kids will start tripping over the phone wire and inadvertently cause the modem to fell down from the table and get disconnect. A wireless modem seems to be the only solution to my predicament.

When it comes to wireless modem, I am totally at loss. I don’t how to set up all those DNS and what not. I may have technical background but wireless network setup is whole different ball game.

Searching the internet, I somehow found out about D-Link DSL 2460B Modem. What’s great about the modem is that the setup is absolutely easy. All I have to do is insert the CD and choose my ISP. From the list I wager that they have all the major ISP provider for the whole world and they certainly didn’t miss out the ISP in Malaysia.

Select your ISP and you’re good to go.. you have the option to setup the security for your wireless network i.e. your wireless connection security codes… you don’t want your neighbours and their cats and dogs to be able to connect to your network and cause serious slow down… I need all the bandwith I can get for my P2P network!

This is another great thing about the modem… Bittorrent runs smoothly on this. From my research on the internet, somehow I got the impression that not all wireless modem are able to perform this feat. With this modem it’s no problem.

The modem is setup in such a way that it is connect via ethernet port for my desktop and wireless connection to my laptop. When both computers is accessing the internet, there are absolutely no problem. Even with both computers connected to Bittorrent it still works fine. All in all this modem is great for my use and I’d recommend D-Link DSL 2460B Modem to anyone who don’t have the technical knowledge to set up a wireless modem.
