    ADSL modem recomendations

    I upgraded to an SSD, and have a copy of my windows 8.1 installation, but not bootable. Is there some easy way of importing the wifi profiles that were saved on it? My onedrive account initially synced them all, but now is have issues after my wifi driver upgrade deleted all the old profiles.

    Wifi Router for Reliance Wired broadband?

    Just a doubt, can't you ask Reliance to enable PPPoE and then use the routers firmware to connect instead? Cause I had a webpage login as well for ACT broadband, and then realised it was the same credentials for PPPoE. EDIT: a quick search led me here, any use to you guys?
