New Router ADSL

Danfoss2011 · 31 Jul 2011 at 11:46

AOL have done me a nice deal of 24mb for £7 PCM. It'll start in 14 days time.

They will send me a new router but it's going to be shocking. So might as well get something proper.

Any recomendations?

I expect that the one they send you will be fine. A £7/month connection is bound to have horrible shaping or caps so you're not going to be able to torrent anyway, which is the only thing you need a beefy router for.

I currently pay £4 for 7mb and get around 6.5mb. I've been with AOL and what not.

The one we get will be cheap and nasy i can tell. Might as well get something decent for the wifi in the house and what not

Still the best performing router I have ever used, Sync speed beats any other router I have tried, and I have access to a lot of routers working as a Network engineer for business ISP

With the custom DGTeam firmware it is good, also the best value for money as its faultless.

Modern drayteks are good also, however more expensive but I guess if your ok with paying the extra then go for it. Modern linksys routers, again very good routers, lots of features, reliable however I find that the sync speed is not as good as the DG834GT, however its not a "huge" difference.

Reason I have stuck with the DG834GT as they are cheap to buy, but very respectable in performance and reliability
