Hi,

I run a freesco router on DSL and had no problems with
setting it up. Do make sure the hardware is compatible. Also
there are a lot of changes being made by Oceanic Cable in
Respect to IP addresses. We have to give back many of them
previously issued. This IP swapping may be affecting rr. I
am not sure as I don't deal with them.
