I have a question about this. I've read about this for ages and sort of |
19 |
get the idea, running out of numbers basically. There's two questions |
20 |
that I can't answer tho. I have a old Linksys router, the old blue |
21 |
thing that is so common. Would I have to buy a new router? I also have |
22 |
a older DSL modem, it's a old Westell black box. Would this require a |
23 |
newer modem as well? I'm thinking those boxes would have to have |
24 |
software at least that would support the newer addresses but nothing |
25 |
I've read really answers those questions. I don't know if they even |
26 |
update software on those old things. |
