Taken from OC website review on the WRT160N

Upgraded to this router from an old Linksys BEFSR41, and to behonest i wish hadn`t. Yes its easy to setup, but i get constant disconnects and very poor speeds, even on wired connections.

It also gets extremely hot and, according to forums that i have read, a lot of other people experience the same problem.

Doesn't look too good.

I am also looking for something the same and on same ISP.

That has built in modem and he is on Virgin no modem needed.

The WRT*Ns have limited third party firmware support too, in part because they sometimes completely change with a hardware version (i.e. WRT160Nv1 != WRT160Nv2).
