spork985 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I personally use the Dlink DI-624 and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 But D-Link generally makes bad hardware.@hitman47: Is there anything wrong with using the WRT54GL as a wired router as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Toxic Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 the best one heh? the one you make yourself... Get an old machine (200-300MHz, 64 RAM, some very small HDD (even without a HDD), and 2 decen LAN cards, we are talking $20 here) and IPCop or FreeSCO (i preffer the first one). Bulletproof...

hitman47 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 but WRT54GL is costly , any other cheaper wired router???btw is WRT45gl the 100% perfect one and works on all BitTorrent clients?? I dont think so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 If you're asking whether it's the only one, then yes, you're right, it isn't. But if you're asking if it works with all BitTorrent clients... the answer is "yes" unless the client is extremely stupid, in which case the problem wouldn't even stem from the router, but the client itself anyway. As for expensiveness... you don't exactly say your budget, so we wouldn't even know what you're looking for. Anyhow, for a router with the features and abilities it has, the price at which the WRT54GL is selling for (sub-$100, more like $70) is almost a steal.

hitman47 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 One thing i noticed yesterday is that WRT54GL is not an ADSL router which i need one. So now i should ask for best ADSL Router which supports BitTorrent perfectly?? Sorry for so many questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 There is no such thing as an ADSL router, only an ADSL modem. Routers are not modems, and as long as the modem uses ethernet, then any router will work with it, including WRT54GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork985 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hmmm. That is strange because I have an ADSL router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 There are cases where routers are NOT compatible with ADSL modems running in various PPPoE modes.Most of those are fixed with a firmware patch though...You'll have to do extensive research to find which are good and bad for that.

Ultima Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 @spork985: You probably have an ADSL modem with router capabilities built in then ;o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork985 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I don't know much about it because my ISP did not give me a book on it when I got it (I dont even know what brand it is or anything), but on the bottom it says ADSL Router 1500. It has both bridge and routing mode (which I really like). That is probably why it is called such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Hehe yeah it's surely a modem+router combo, which is why it's labeled as an ADSL router (it's because of the ADSL modem part of the device). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
