jemmyell Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi, We HOPE to go to China soon to see the house we bought and visit my wife's family (swine flu permitting). I want to take an american wireless router so I can understand the setup menus. Has anybody done this? Any experiences to relate? -James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnoblett Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 It will work fine, Ethernet is Ethernet, this is universal, however some countries limit what channels 802.11 A,B,G wifi can broadcast on, so the high or low channels may be restricted and interfere with something else. Best to program the router to stick to channel 3 through 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoefta Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Using one right now. Just make sure your power supply will support 220V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jemmyell Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks! It's issues like the channels that REALLY make me want to have english language screens in the router... All our laptops have internal wifi so I hope to avoid putting wires into or through the walls in my wife's new dollhouse. She is just very excited about finally getting there and getting moved from her old house. -James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill and Linda Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Also, make certain you set it up as a secure connection with a password, otherwise you might have anyone within range connecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinese DSL routers usually contain proprietary firmware and decoding modules, to decode the incoming telephone signal. These boxes may or may not provide a wireless internet signal, it just depends on how it was set up, and usually require a username and password to configure; the same as most routers. You will likely need to plug your router into the Ethernet output of the DSL box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
