not able to connec to the internet

[Felipe DOMINGUEZ]

Hi.

i see your point, but this modem is in the list of supported modem.

any way.  you say that if I buy a ethernet moden it is warranty to work?

can you please confirm this point, because I may consider to buy a ethernet
modem/router and build a home network.  ( but still I would really like to
make this one to work. just for the challenge)
