Wink Re: where can i buy from?

The easiest place to buy from is probably Ebay although people on this an various other forums sell them.

Ambit 200/250/255 all get 20MB
If you want full 50MB you will have to buy a ambit 256

(Make sure when you buy these that they are preflashed with infinite or haxorware or buy a unflashed modem and flash it yourself with a max232 cable)

These arnt plug and play you will have to configure it yourself but its pretty simple, you can download all the software & guides around here somewhere.

once you have the flashed modem all you need is your ethernet cable to configure it.



I'm new to this so the info might not be accurate maybe one of the locals can help you out abit more, good luck.
