... got the same storo when I bought my link. It's entirely unnecessary, and was able to connect my PC directly to AK using my username and pass [asked for it while they were installing their hardware] So yes, you can use whatever router you want, and besides, that 615 model has received poor ratings online [the 625 model is much better, or the lynksys wrt160N or WRT190N] Was on AK for a month... hated the service... but there's that home broadband thing from safcom. they supposedly give 2mB [megaBytes, not megabits] for 7k... call paul [a safcom salesman] on 0723 843 202. He's the guy i talked to when i called the number on the advert.. of course, be polite and call during office hours... cheers. On 9/16/10, Jonas | Lamu Software <jonas@lamusoftware.com> wrote:

Does anyone know why AccessKenya refuses to allow any other router than the D-Link DIR-615 when on PPPoE? Is it a specific problem with PPPoE over WiMax?

Is there a procedure to get other routers approved? (tried support without reply)

Quite annoying to have to buy a DIR-615 when it is not really needed and it creates a second point of failure between the "real" router/ AP and the DIR-615 just acting as an ADSL modem.

The DIR-615 is in addition not for outdoor use so it needs to have it's own cosy and warm place to hang out at. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AopdHkqSqKL-dHlQVTMxU1VBdU1BSWJxdy1f... ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke
