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.

Additional Hardware

Device Cost  
ADSL In-Line (Filter/Splitter) - DSL008 2+ $19 each More

The In-Line Filter pictured enables you to have one Phone/Fax device per filter operating simultaneously on the same phone service as your Broadband ADSL connection. The In-Line Filter simply plugs into an unused phone jack, and your Phone/Fax plugs directly into it. If your ADSL modem needs to connect through the same phone jack, it should also be connected directly into the In-Line Filter.

Please Note: One (1) filter is required per Phone/Fax device operating simultaneously on the same phone service as your broadband ADSL connection. A Central Filter may be required if you have four or more Phone/Fax devices (eg. four phone hand-sets) operating on the same phone service, in order to maintain your line quality. This filter is ADSL2+ compliant.

Line Filter
ADSL Central (Filter/Splitter) - DSL003 2+ $37 each More

A Central Filter is usually required if you have a monitored alarm system, PABX office system or similar operating on the same phone service as your broadband ADSL connection. We recommend contacting the supplier of such systems to confirm whether you require one. It may also be required if you have four or more Phone/Fax devices (eg. four phone hand-sets) operating on the same phone service, in order to maintain your line quality. This central splitter is ADSL2+ compliant.

Please Note: A registered telecommunications installer is required to hard-wire your Central Filter into your phone service and can be located via the Yellow Pages. This information brochure contains important information which will help you locate and decide on a suitable technician.
