been using netgear (the one in the review). works pretty well. 24/7 no problems.

i have heard good things about the linksys 54 series.

browse through netgear's and linksys forums to get a better idea.

though i would suggest getting one of the newer 'n' series routers. they dont cost as much as they used to and they extend the range to about 10x of a vanilla 54g model

Thanks as always bhai . Netgear, are they not expensive? We don't have any wireless N hardware but future proofing is always good so I may go for one. Errm, I thought Wireless Routers usually have a built in ADSL2+ modem but it sounds like they don't.

I need modem + wireless router in one.

54g, you mean Linksys WRT54GL? Someone mentioned on another forum that it does not have a modem.....

D-Link doesn't has too many good reviews last I checked. Go for Linksys (using one myself) or Netgear (since it seems to be working fine for Ali).

Which model is it? I think you are using the Wireless Router without build in modem. Correct? Which DSL service do you have? Is it possible for you to post a pic of your setup? Just want to have a look.

I was looking at DI-624 reviews a couple months back and some people reported problems with it.

Yes, I am using Linksys WRT54GL which is just a wireless router. It has 4 LAN ports one of which I have hooked up to my Aztech ADSL router. It works fine.

I am using Micronet. I will upload pic later.
