Which wireless ADSL modem/router - advice please

neil748r · 14-Jul-2005, 13:56

As title really, I'm at a bit of a loss.

Ideally modem and wireless router in one box. Don't want to break the bank either!

Cheers guys,

Neil

I got a Belkin ADSL Modem/Wireless router. Cheap as chips and works just fine

D-Link are good http://www.dlink.com/

Buffalo or Belkin I'm told.

Dont buy Linksys as I did - useless.

Netgear are the daddies, used D-Link, Belkin etc, and they've got some nice 108Mb extended range models now

I use a Draytek Vigor - the large corporate I prostitute myself to have them as the company router they issue to staff. Good quality and a wide range. They also have a very easy to get around web admin page.

I'll have a look at which models suit you as soon as I've finished my lunch.

Draytek are the horse's dangly bits, bit expensive but they really do the job.

Ok, Draytek --> http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/router_compare.shtml

Of these I'd recommend you go for the 2600G unless you have a requirement for VoIP?

A quick search reveals that Broadband Buyer has them for sale for £150 http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop...&ProductID=730 but you would likely find it a bit cheaper.

Is that within your price range?

Thanks for all the advice so far fellas!

£150 is a fair chunk more than I wanted to spend TBH.

What about this one? It's made by Safecom/Texas Instruments.

Any one got experience of this brand?

Thanks again,

Neil

That's looks good ! Good price. I have Belkin and it's been up and running for over a year. I can't remember the last time it needed rebooting.
