Hope somebody can help here.
I have an existing Wifi Modem Router (Belking G+Mimo) which has the Wifi part failing... not sure why, but the wired PC'c work fine so my conclusion is that the Modem part (ADSL) is working perfectly fine.
I have a new Belkin N1 Wifi Router (no modem).
Can i use the two together and if so how do i get the old G+ to act only as a modem for the new Router?
Any helpfull suggestions welcome
thanks
mistrale.

See page 33 of the manual ( assuming its a F5D9630 ?)
Having connected the N1 to one of the Ethernet ports you will then need to put your username/password into the N1 configuration.
What model is it BTW ?

For the N1 router you connect the WAN port to the first port of the G+. Then go to the WAN settings and select PPPoE, you will then have to enter your username and password,
Your username will be 'plusnet username'@plusdsl.net

Thanks for the reply - i just tried turning it to Modem Only as you suggest (yes it is a model F5D9630 -4) although the manual i have isnt on the same page as you - but then i had to down load it again form the net... sooo...
any way then i plugged the Ni wifi Router in it went into setup mode but couldnt detect an internet connection and therefore gave up (tried this several times) - i am now htinking i need to somehow bypass the wizard and do this manualy...
Model for N1 is F5D8232.4 by the way.
I will try this manualy, but any other suggestions welcome.
Thnks

Thanks for the help getting me connected.
The issue i am having now (yes another one!) is that i keep loosing the connection to the net - Accotrding to the N1 router, but the lights for internet and phone connection on the G+Mimo are all green and say i have the connection.
If i ununstall the N1 and go back to the G+ no problem (except the original of failing radio signal).
So the question is: Is this a set up problem that i can tweek or is the N1 more sensative to problems with the BT line or.... what????
Any help greatly recieved.
