thanks!

yes the pldt modem (if you get pldt pero ganun din sa iba) comes with a utp cable. ideally, kapag nagpunta techs ng pldt sa inyo, ikakabit nila ito sa PC lan card mo. then they will configure in WinXP, PPOE connection (parang dial-up with user name and password).

The linksys router emulates that function: yun PPOE configuration sa WinXP. connect the supplied UTP cable of the modem to your internet port in the router. then provide another UTP cable and connect from any of the 4 ports of your router on one end and your PC LAN card on one end.

kapag all setup ka na, load IE then type 192.168.1.1. web-based config yan router. you can type the username & password there.

with your wireless laptop naman, just scan for a wireless network SSID. by default, linksys ang SSID. then kapag connected na sa tray icon mo, load IE and surf!
