Confused about routers/modem

Thrill · 31 Jan 2013 at 17:19

Currently have a Billion Bipac 7800n, but having a lot of issues with wireless so I'm getting something else. Been eyeing up the ASUS RT-N66U, but our house only has ADSL2+. So that would mean I'd need a modem. Can someone list me a cheap modem so I could hook it up to the ASUS RT-N66U and a guide on how to do it.

Bit unsure how it all work, but really fancy the RT-N66U. We will be getting fibre in March 2013, but I don't think the end user stuff is changing?

How about the Asus DSL-N55U or DSL-N12U? Both have inbuilt ADSL2+ modems

I just kinda wanted the absolute best of the best. If you can find me a Wireless Gigabit ADSL2 router with a modem inbuilt that's brilliant then sure

It needs to be better than the Bipac 7800N. Really want something good!

Not a particularly cheap option, but the DrayTek Vigor 120 would work for your modem.

They do hold their value well, so most of the cost could be recovered if you ever upgrade to a FTTC connection.

The Vigors are the ONLY modems that one should use on a PPPoA connection. They do proper PPPoA to PPPoE bridging.
