i live in Singapore.
my current modem is a ADSL modem. i just got a free modem after doing a recontract of my internet service provider (ISP), which is 1500kbps.
the modem is a SpeedTouch, 516(i) v6 / 536(i) v6, Multi-User ADSL2+ Gateway, modem.
i heard that ADSL2/ADSL2+ modems are good. but when i read the instruction book, it says there i require an Ethernet Network card installed. i checked my PCI expansion slots, it is pretty empty except for the graphics card -__-...
so i presume i do not have one. furthermore, i do not see the slot for one of the wires (i think it is for the Ethernet Network Card), which looks abit bigger than the normal telephone plug.
my question, is it really important for ADSL2+ modems to require the Ethernet Network card? how does the whole system work with the modem and the card? what Ethernet Network card should i look out for, or doesnt matter?
where in Singapore can i get a reliable (not so expensive) one? and for much?
thanks.
