I would go for a Billion wireless router.

Netgear!!!! I just invested in the Netgear DG834GT and it works like a bomb.

Definitely the BILLION 7202G(R2) - R779.76 on DigitalPlanet.co.za.

It's got everything you need and works like a charm!

Netgear! It has amazing range but it doesnt support bridge mode

Dont need bridge mode with a super range offered by the Netgear DG834GT.

Netgear do support bridge mode. It is already discussed on this forum before. It is easy to do with a undocumented feature (do not know why) but it works fine

try this http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?next_file=mode.htm and then change the mode to "modem only" Me think paswwords and the rest will return to defaults. Cant remember

Interesting that the Local Netgeat techs did not even know this. I informed them once how to do it as they claimed it impossible! LoL

again

Netgear! It has amazing range but it doesnt support bridge mode

if you need bridge mode/pure modem, don't go DG834G
can anybody point out for me, why people are interested to buy an expensive router, then use it as a cheap modem???? where is the benefit????

Modems dont come with the security/admin features routers do. The Netgear routers offer a dns updater aswell ie:dyndns.org accounts.
They both do the same job so if u know nothing about security or cant be bothered with the extra features then get a DSL Modem.
