I've been asked by a non-techie relative to set up a wireless network on her Freeserve broadband connection. The PC connects to a box marked "Thomson Speedtouch 330", then to a splitter device ( via a socket marked ADSL, the other socket to telephone), which then plugs into the telephone point in the wall.
I asked Wannadoo if I could plug the Thomson Speedtouch 330 device into a wireless 802.11g router, and they were kind enough to send me a reply, albeit to a different question. A follow-up email just said that they wouldn't support this (which again wasn't the question that I asked).
Can this be done, or am I committed to using their setup?
