HI All

I'd like to go for the Mweb 1gig account that you get the free router with for R199 per month, including line rental.

My question is 3 fold:
1. Can I run a seperate openweb account on it that I log into when I'm only using local bandwidth on this particular modem
2. Can I have a seperate Axxess 626 account for my evening gaming
3. Could I use RouteSentry to make all my local go through Openweb and all my international to go through mweb/Axxess?

Is the router good enough for these options?

Shot for the help!
 
Problem with M-Web is that their Routers are locked, well in my case anyway. Hence you are unable to use accounts from other ISP's .....

You should be able to setup a PPoE connection from windows still and use Routesentry. The WR105 doesnt even need to be in bridge mode, but thats the telkom modems. What modem do you have?
 
I haven't ordered it yet. Its the standard MWeb one.

If it's ISP locked, then I guess this is the wrong deal for me

Won't be able to do that with the Mweb router as even the bridge mode is locked.
 
Thanks for the info guys. Any recommendations on a not-too-expensive router that would get the job that I want done?
