Broadband ADSL Hardware

In order to receive a high-speed Broadband internet connection you will require an ADSL compatible modem or router.

• Modems are simply a device which enable your computer to connect to Broadband internet. All Westnet-supplied routers have in-built modems. Routers enable you to connect more than one computer to the internet at once. If your computers are in different rooms or you are simply sick of tripping over cords then check out our wireless router – the most popular choice for laptop users.
• Routers give your computer added security as they contain a built in firewall
• Your router will stay permanently connected to the internet, meaning that you don't have to reconnect even after restarting your computer.
