I still want to be able to use my LAN for my computer at the same time have wifi. Please see the unit below (zyxel - pldt, blue - globe)

Thanks in Advance!

You will not be able to connect Globe's CPE since it is not a stand-alone router. The DSL port of the modem is for DSL only not for Ethernet hence they use different connector RJ11 for DSL, RJ45 for Ethernet.

If you can tweak the Globe modem, it may work on your PLDT line. All you need to know the DSL VCC settings(VPI.VCI) and WAN setting (bridge,PPoE,PPoA,DHCP, Static, etc). But before that, verify if you could access both modem. You need to know the setting from PLDT modem then copy it as a new setting profile on Globe's modem. Usually may password to change the settings of modem w/c comes in the firmware from the CPE vendor, but sometimes wala, default settings lang.

Or gawin mo na lang bridge yung Wifi ni Globe na ikaw lang ang nakakaalam ng iP block.. Set a static iP on PLDT's LAN then connect Globe modem to any of 1-4 LAN port. Your Wifi devices should be set on static iP's also.. Kung may guest ka na gusto maki-konek sa WiFi, bigay mo yung iP block..hehe It should work and will not cost you money.

just connect one LAN port of the globe router to your PLDT DSL modem LAN port

then connect your PC LAN to any of the globe routers 3 remaining LAN slot

turn on the wifi setting of the globe router & you should be abale to connect any wiifi enabled device to the globe router

If you are using plan 999 or higher, you can request them to get you a wifi modem. It's for free.

Thanks for the info again. I called PLDT and I qualify for a free wifi modem. I only need to surrender my old modem. I'm a bit hesitant though because as you mentioned, the new pldt wifi modems aren't as sturdy as the units they gave out 8 years ago?

Bakit parang ang tagal naman niyan sir? Nakuha ko yung sa akin the day na pumunta ako sa branch nila. Hindi din pala nila kinuha yung old modem ko.

* ms. Cathy: nice one! Ganda namn ng modem mo. Kamusta yung signal coverage? Yung sa akin hindi umaabot sa ibang parts ng bahay. Ibang model pala yung binigay sa akin.
