It may have, but I doubt it. Most DSL routers/modems have 10Mb
interfaces. It doesn't make sense for them to be built anyother way. The
newer chipsets are more expensive and would add to the cirduit board
real estate.
Are you kidding? I haven't seen a current model of cable or DSL
router/modems that doesn't do 100meg on their ethernet ports.
Mine won't and it is < 6 month old.
Both of the DSL modems I've had, as well as both cable modems I've owned,
and every DSL modem I've installed for other people have all had 100meg
ports...either in a 4-5 port switch, or in the port that connected right
to the PC/router/firewall.
Interesting.
As I noted, a few seconds ago, I'm surprised that the manufacturers are
even bothering...I can't imagine that 10meg chipsets are that plentiful,
anymore.
The switch/hub is a different animal than the modem connection. I would
be surprised if the switch part did not have 10/100 ports, However I
would also be surprised if the actual wan port had anything other than a
10Mb port.
