The POE is an essential component of the Wimax system. Please do not switch it off, if u want to continue using the connection.

ok got it, i should never switch off the poe oce the internet connection has been established with the router. However i can switch off the linkssys router.

correct me if i am wrong

All your hardware is a like a bridge between you and the internet.

Wifi or LAN setup:

Code:

(You)=(PC)=(LAN Cable/WiFi)=(Router)=(LAN Cable)=(POE)=(LAN Cable)=(Antenna)

Regular setup:

Code:

(You)=(PC)=(LAN Cable)=(POE)=(LAN Cable)=(Antenna)

Do you see how many bridges have to be built before you can access the internet?


If you remove even a single link in the bridge, like say... the POE, this is what happens:
Wifi or LAN setup:

Code:

(You)=(PC)=(LAN Cable/WiFi)=(Router)=(LAN Cable)=       =(LAN Cable)=(Antenna)

Regular setup:

Code:

(You)=(PC)=(LAN Cable)=       =(LAN Cable)=(Antenna)

You see? Broken bridge! How will you get the internets now?

So, in the interest of accessing the internets whenver you want, I beg of you, please, PLEASE, DO NOT BREAK THE BRIDGE!!!!

*runs off in madness*

to summarize , i should not be swithing off the linksys router. Well noted.

but, tell me one thing, is the router sturdy enough that it will not go beserk if left switched on 24x7 365

Yes it is. Just keep it well ventilated.

all noted, just one more doubt, reliance wimax is a DSL connection ?

pls also advise the full form of DSL.

thnaks all so much for prompt reply on the issue that i had. Thanks for closing the issue for me

DSL = Digital subscriber line

Reliance is not DSL. It's some wierd thing that I havent bothered tried to figure out.

Reliance wimax uses POE equipments.
