Another What router thread

[davetherave2]

Well I am currently waiting for my upgrade from bulldog to 16mb and as of such need a new router. I currently use an Origio 8100 unit which has served me well for the last 2 years and considering it was fairly cheep back then.

Now I already have a Linksys ADSL2MUE adsl2+ modem and so need a router to complement it. I was think of going down the WRT54G/GS route but after reading the tomshardware review on it I'm not to sure. Now I'm considering the DLINK DGL-4300 as that seemed to score quite favourably and seems to be able to cope with the demands that I will be putting on it such as multiple connections via BT,P2P and game servers including xbox live.

Now I'm not really bothered with the wireless at the moment but I would like it for future proofing.

Now these are just two units that seem to appeal to me so what would you guys recommend?

Well I have decided to buy the WRT54GS and turns out it is version 5.1. I am amazed at all the features this has compared to my old router and after a few teething problems with an old network cable I have set it up with my ADSL2MUE modem and they seem to be happily working together. Now all I have to wait for is Bulldog to sort out my upgrade.

Oh and on a side note managed to pick the router up for less than £40 brand new so I think I have made a wise investment there.
