| 578995 | 2007-08-10 09:10:00 | Hey guys, Got my eyes on a fuzzy little linksys wireless ADSL2+ router. Any chance it'll work with a normal dsl connection? Cheers, Rob |

| 578998 | 2007-08-10 12:44:00 | I am fairly sure all ADSL2+ modems are backward compatible with plain ol' ADSL. | vinref (6194) | ||
| 578999 | 2007-08-10 17:24:00 | I am fairly sure all ADSL2+ modems are backward compatible with plain ol' ADSL. My Linksys WAG54G is... of course it would have helped to know the model... but I really doubt they would sell an ADSL2+ modem here when we don't even have ADSL2+... | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 579000 | 2007-08-10 19:27:00 | I bought a Dynalink RT1320 ADSL2+ modem a year ago and it works fine here in Tauranga. Of course they are backwards compatible. The reason I bought it was that I knew that Telecom were going for ADSL2+ so it made sense to have a modem that would be able to handle it rather than having to buy a new one. regards Digby |

Ha, when do you expect them to do that? I mean really... This is Telecom... They need to get the issues sorted out with the current plans first :groan: |

They need to get the issues sorted out with the current plans first :groan: That's already been done to death. As far as I'm, ADSL is more stable than ADSL2+. The standard experiences fewer drop outs so It's probably a technical requirement that 2+ modems can fall back to the lower ADSL speeds. |

Look at its cellular network, they went with one option (CDMA IIRC) only to now realise that the option Vodafone uses (GSM) is the standard currently being supported by all the major phone manufacturers |
