    Cool Router Questions???

    Which Router can work on the Flow Network with out being physically connected to any PC/ Laptop or any other multimedia devices? and what is that technology called?

    The Nexxt Solaris 300 was connected to a Cable & wireless Adsl modem and show excellent connection on a laptop but won't load the webpage, whats the issue? because the modem it self was setup to use wireless via customer service at a speed of 2mbps. Would also like to use it with out being physically connected to any devices if possible.

    Any wireless router should work with the either the adsl modem or the cable modem. You just have to make sure that the cable modem associates itself with the mac address from the router by doing a battery pull and power cycle or using the reset button. It is really simple to setup.

    Agreed with above. Reset the FLOW modem either before or while it's connected to the router. Do the battery+power pull (unplug) if your modem has a battery. Reset the Solaris just to be on the safe side. Setup whatever config/security you need on the router after and you should be fine.
    We never know too much that we can't learn. Unfortunately most Jamaicans are about "hurry come up" and swatting than actually learning....

    Ok thanks guys, i don't presently have the router by me now. Can the Nexxt Solaris router be connected to the cable modem and work straight to a wifi enabled smart phone with out the aid of a computer?

    Yes it can. Any WIFI device that supports the security option you choose. If an older phone doesn't have WPA2 and you're using WPA2 then it wont work. If you're using WEP but using any key other than key 1 then iPhones will not be able to connect to it. Most newer routers (strangely) don't have WEP anymore and only WPA/WPA2.
