Hi,
I have a plusnet router and thought it was a good idea to have my old Echolife on the other end of the flat I live in as another connection and something to give our sky box internet via ethernet. After spending about 10 minutes trailing a long ADSL from our one functioning telephone port (the other one that's closer seems to be dead) and taping it down etc, I switch on the Echolife to find out it doesn't work- I've entered the stuff off the help page but it still doesn't have internet. I wonder what sort of settings I could be missing and have added a couple of photos of it's settings

As in, both simultaneously? To get a better signal at the other end of the flat?

Yeah- not just for that but to have a wired connection to connect to my other sky box- have a homeplug kit for the other one. I tried to use it as a bridge a few months back but couldn't find any info on how to (it has a birdge mode but couldn't find info on how to get it to work) so thought would try it wired in via adsl when I added another filter for an extra phone. Having a stronger signal was just a perk I though would be nice.

You can't connect 2 ADSL modems on the same line at the same time - to get the Echolife to connect you will have to disconnect the other one.

same line or same socket? If I could get my other phone socket to work would that help? If you read what I said disconnecting the plusnet router would be useless as a need it

Does this Huawei Echolife HG532 Bridging topic provide any clues? Sorry, rather a lot of information there for me to quickly understand.
