What Brand of Router/Modem are You Running Your Neptune Apex Through?

[Snaz]

I Googled around and it looks like Telus has loaded a custom firmware on that modem/router combo which MANY people cannot get the ports to forward correctly.

My suggestion is to use your old dlink modem if you still have it or even better a Thompson SpeedTouch 516. Try this, take the device into any telus store and say that it overheats after 20 mins(HOT to the touch, not warm), they will surely replace it. Ask them for a Dlink or ST516, anything other than the Siemens crap. Then goto Future Shop and buy a real router like a Linksys WRT54G.

Of course I threw my DLink out. I checked Kijiji and there is a DSL-300G for $20, I better grab it. Considering the amount of time I have spent messing around with the 2Wire junk, its a good buy.

Don't buy it!! - You get what you pay for. Buy a LinkSys and buy it new.

I'm talking Modem and I think you're talking router. I'm still going to go with a Linksys router, I need a Telus compatible ADSL modem and the DLink is the logical choice.

Any 300G found in western Canada should work fine on Telus network. Second hand is a bit of risk though, you might be buying a brick. Too bad your in AB, I have a few old modems in the closet.

Yes - you ae correct. I just assumed it was a router. I didn't take the time to check. Dlink makes a reasonable DSL modem. Don't mind me.

Have you checked your modems specific port forward settings with Portforward.com? Also there is a awesome Neptune support forum over on RC and the guys there are great at getting the Apex up and running on a network.

I checked portforward.com and did not see this device listed. The firmware is custom telus which they have stated they do not support port forwarding on
Can it be done? Maybe but others have tried without much success.
