New Router - Dlink is evil. Linksys? Asus?

I can't see the 5200S anymore, but 5210S is available. 8840T costs about the same.

Seems like the 5210S is Broadcom. Go for the 8840T if you want to make sure its a Trendchip.

Few other options, what would be the most robust?

These low end modems using the the same chipset are literally same hw/sw, but with different case, PSU, UI colour scheme & logos.

Just my 2c here, I had a whole heap of problems when I first bought the D-Link 2500u, including line dropping.

I quickly came to the conclusion that it had to be a firmware issue, checked my hardware version, downloaded the latest firmware, did the whole hard reset process before and after flashing, and it's been quite stable since.

Just make sure that you're flashing it with the correct hardware version to avoid bricking it. Mine is BRU_D running RU_1.58 firmware.

Dont worry i have also lost faith in Dlink.

On our ADSL router, i can access the Dlink's config Web Gui via the internet dyn DNS even though its been disabled.
I only want to be able to log into it from the LAN, So the feature does not work it ignores my config.

So i had to enable it and only allow a specific IP, I figured Google wont hack me so i set it to only google may access it :-)
Luckily we are getting our IS Fiber tomorrow then i can chuck both Telkom and Dlink

ADSL routers are relatively inexpensive these days. I would just replace it instead of wasting all those frustrating hours.

These are Broadcom and Conexant chipsets
