You may find Belkin router&modem technology N1+ in Sophitel (near Mercure Hotel)- it's with the bigger range for the moment.

get a belkin wireless router and make sure u get the a/b/g/n, it covers all the networks and Belkin reaches very far... atleast the one that I have, it covers around 50 meters radius.

The easiest is to replace the Modem with a Combined Wireless Router and Modem, if you got a big house/App - you might also need a wireless Signal extender to extend signal to all areas.

get a wireless router and connect your Speedtouch by QTEL, all will for sure work fine.

I did the same, went to Carrefour and got a new Linksys box. Be aware if you have a bigger villa get the bigger box. I live in a bungalow and they told me that the small box would be fine, but in some of the bedrooms no access. My box is in the living room. So get a bigger one is my recommendation

Better you are to buy a wireless router with modem. Than you have to replace the Speedtouch modem and to set your computer following instructions which are provided with the new router.You also have to determine which router will be better for you, depending where you'll use it - house or appartment.
