kahoona Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I hear so much about how this or that router is a POS ect so I should ask for every ones benefit - Who makes a good router for a reasonable price? I need to deal with a DSL modem and need wireless that has a reasonable range. Any models better than others? What must we spend to get a working router? I can see where a decent router is important. Another question would be Is the standard Motorola DSL modem a problem too? Should that be replaced? What is working for you?ThanksKahoona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato firmware is a favorite around here. Motorola hardwares are rather hated around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahoona Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 What about the D-Link DSL2640B ADSL Modem with Wireless Router?http://www.pcworld.com/shopping/detail/prtprdid,45935141-sortby,retailer/pricing.htmlAssuming it could port forward properly.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahoona Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 HiLooks like a sweet deal. Will keeping the Motorola modem that is giving me the 2 router syndrome continue to be a problem if I change to the Linskys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 If the modem has a router, buying a new dedicated router won't make it go away. You need top set the modem up still. Motorola SurfBoards are known to cause portforwarding issues -- not sure if their other modems do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
