kasagara gamiton nga modem is ZYXEL modem 600 series

[Poor_Prince23]

pwede ba ma router ang zyxel 600 series?

[dagget]

The new modem is PL-DSL1

made for PLDT

Unfortunately for new subscribers.

PLDT is using bridge protocol rfc1483 encapsulation

this makes it harder to share the connection.

also everytime you boot up the pc when you type a website on IE or Firefox..... A log-in screen will appear. you key-in your username and password.

Its similar already to smart wifi.... where you have to log-in everytime you want to surf

this feature is just to prevent mulitple pcs using the connection.

so please avoid pldt at all cost. that is if you want to share the connection....

if you have only 1 pc then pldt will be fine

now this is their set-up in guadalupe andres street. i don't know of other areas. plan 999.

so meaning to say, even if my zyxel 600 (from PLDT) has only one ethernet port.. mas maayu nalang ni.. kai ma share pa.,... d b?

if you are an old subscriber with the old modem then you are better off than the new subscribers........

Thanks dagget! Your post is the most informative so far. Will be looking more into other philippine broadband forums for workarounds...

Will be updating this as I get more info...

Will be trying out the suggestions in the tipidpc thread...

pldt is not using PPPoE and PPPoA anymore

most retail routers support the 2 protocols.... I think PLDT is deliberately not using the 2 protocols to prevent sharing....

So choose the router well.

but then again there is that log-in screen like the smart wifi portal.....
