Very nice router that supports dd-wrt: (you will have to keep the billion for an ADSL modem, though)

This one does ADSL and is quite cheap, don't know more about it though.

I believe you can PM kernel for MYBB member's prices on them.

You just missed the special on the TP-Links
I got myself the ADSL router P924 linked above,and I can tell you im getting double my previous signal

I had the Belkin N150+. It's ok, but only has 100mbps ports, and no "proper" wireless N support. ADSL connection is very stable, although not as good as the D-link D2500U. But then again I've never seen or heard of anything that is.

It's a bit silly (and expensive) buying a router if there is no modem built in. These are for the American market where their needs are different.

Cute.
I was referring to the other link in case he chooses a cheaper one.

Some of the models on offer also don't fully comply with IEEE 802.11n - only the draft specifications.

Compatible with 802.11a/b/g is also an asset. 11a is sometimes left out.

Also with the ones that transmit on dual band, the best ones will do it simultaneously on 2.4GHz and 5Ghz. The ones I see around here are only switchable between on frequency or the other, but not both at the same time.
Cheaper is often not better, so watch out.

If you want wireless-n and gigabit, get the tp-link wr1043, and use the Billion as a modem.

Modem goes to telephone line. Other end goes to WAN port on TPlink.

These routers are VERY good, don't let the price fool you.

not so if you've had 2 modem/routers taken out by lightning in a week

Have my TP 1043ND connected to a Billion 7402G and a Billion 7300G functioning as wireless remote on second floor. Setup working very well.

Linksys has the most stable signal of the lot, just a thought - use it, lose it.

Must be the most expensive connection on the forum

Just find Billion reliable and the TP LINK is Gigabit so great speed for the PCs on the wired lan
