Going to change from a USB modem to an ADSL router ("'bout time" I hear you say?!) and need some recommends.
I'll pay whatever, if price matches performance/reliability. Something straight forward to configure, where I can get at the stats easily.
My only/main computer is, and always will be, a single desktop. May consider adding a laptop at a later stage but this is definitely not a priority.

BTW - has anyone heard of/experienced ADSL Nation's XF-1e ADSL 2+ microfilters? They're supposed to be "pro quality" (whatever that means) but they do get some good reviews around various forums?

For a router the Netgear DG834G v4 is excellent and supports Routerstats and DMT for excellent reports and diagnosis

Mmmm interestingly I was considering the Netgear 834 range - seems to get favourable reviews. The different faceplate might also be worth considering (but as I'm having Plusnet sort out my speed issue I'll wait on that one just in case the big boys from BT need to show up!!)
Cheers

Q: the spec says it comes with inbuilt SPI firewall (quote) " automatically providing rigorous inspections of all inbound and outbound communications". As my Zonealarm free firewall already does this will I need to ditch it?

Quote from: Adderman Thanks Denzil I've settled on a Netgear 834.
Were you not entitled to a router from Plusnet (cost of postage only)?

jelv - cost was not an issue for me and being a first time router virgin! I opted for the netgear due, amongst other reasons, for the decent reports it had on various other forums about easy configuration, accessible stats etc. (Hope the show lives up to the billing)!

You will probably want to download RouterStats which is superb for monitoring DG834 routers.
