Wireless Router Work With Dial-Up

Necessary Hardware

1. To transmit your dial-up Internet connection as a wireless signal, you will need to first run the telephone line into a modem, then to a wired broadband router and finally to a wireless transmitter. Please note that your wireless router will need to feature RS-232 serial ports to be compatible with an external modem; additionally, any computers wishing to connect to the wireless network will need to have the appropriate wireless cards installed. Lastly, in addition to the above, you will also want to have two Ethernet cables and a surge protector/power strip to protect your electronic equipment.

Connecting to the Modem

2. Take your telephone line from the wall and connect it to your external modem, which you will plug into your surge protector. Connect your first Ethernet cable to the output on your external modem.

Connecting The Modem To The Wired Router

3. Take your Ethernet cord that leads from your external modem and connect it to the input on your wired router. Again, for your router to be compatible with a dial-up modem, you must have a router with RS-232 serial ports. Connect your second Ethernet cable to the wired router's output.

Connecting To The Wireless Router

4. Connect the Ethernet cable from the wired router to the wireless router's input. Connect both the wired and wireless routers to your surge protector. Once you have connected all of your hardware and installed any applicable software (which would be included with your hardware), you are ready to connect wirelessly to the Internet via your dial up connection!
