Hi all
anyone know what adsl chipsets are used in the Thomson Speedtouch585 and Belkin F5D7633 Routers.

Both use broadcom based chipsets, I have both. They give me an extra 1MB of sync speed over the TI AR7 chipset in my old netgear. Obviously more compatible with my DSLAM at the exchange.

I like the speedtouch better, performance wise they are virtually identical.

agreed, imo the speedtouch is more user friendly, DMT works nice with it, just a good all round solid router.
