Title: Which router?
Post by: Kunal on December 02, 2009, 16:43:17 PM
Im getting fed up of the BeBox router which came from BeThere.

What I need is something that has:

ADSL2+ modem built in
Wireless 802.11N

Would be nice:

VOIP
USB (for print server, hard drive, etc)



eBuyers got quite the deal on:

Linksys WAG160N ADSL2+ Wireless N router with FREE Linksys Wireless N USB Adapter for 55 quid delivered.




What Im tempted by is upping my budget to a Draytek (2710 or 2820). Does anyone use a Draytek here? Or the Linksys WAG160N for that matter.

Im using a DG834N.  Nice little router, and ive been on it for about 3 years now.  Im no great fan of Draytek.  I know they are supposed to be one of the best, but Whenever Ive been near them its to swap them out for a Cisco 800 series, or Netgear of some flavour.

Any thoughts on the Linksys WAG160N package? Quite tempting for 55 quid.

Ive not much recent experience with Linksys ADSL kit.  I tend to use Linksys on Cable connections, and Netgear for ADSL for home users.  They used to have absolutely awful ADSL modems in their routers that used to blow on a regular basis.  Might be better now though :)

Too tempting at that price, hopefully it wont be rubbish!
