You can try going to Bezeqstore and demand replacing your modem by an ethernet modem (otherwise you will switch to cables). If this doesn't help, you can either buy the ECI modem/router (Note that when it has some bugs when it operates as router, but there are no known problems when it operates as a modem) or the Alcatel 510 modem/router (this modem might not be available in some stores). The Alcatel 510 is preferable over the ECI. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
