So im looking to upgrade my current router. Its an old netgear model which is two slow for me now both on the wireless and ethernet front. Heres what im after:
Gigabit ethernet capability, 4 ports at least 300mbps+ Wireless N capability (not bothered about dual / single band) ADSL modem Im getting confused by all the jargon to be honest. From what I can see, most gigabit routers out there in my sort of price range (sub £100, as close to £50 as I can get) dont seem to include DSL modems? I dont have the power sockets to have a separate router / modem and I definitely need both gigabit ethernet and high speed / long range wireless. Any ideas? -------------------- |

The only real benefits of having the modem/router combo is that you only need one power outlet and you only have one device to troubleshoot if you loose connection. other than that it is still a modem and a router, just in one case. From what I can tell the brands all seem to be the same and all have no support for their products. For my DSL internet I have a westell 7500 modem/router combo. The only reason I have that is because I wanted to take out the possibility of my connection problems being my Linksys router. Stay away from switches. they are stupid.

Thats a pretty retarded statement. Not when you work where I do and have to deal with dumbassez with switches all throughout their houses. -------------------- |
