D-Link DSL-504 ADSL Router 4 Port

Advantages: Pick up a bargain ?
Disadvantages: Only 4 ethernet ports ?

...Another review from me for a discontinued item, but may be useful if you're loking to pick up a bargain item on ebay... The D-Link DSL-504 ADSL Router has a built-in ADSL modem - plugs directly into your ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line)-enabled phone line, and with its 4 port 10/100Mbps ethernet switch, allows connections to lots of things (check out my other reviews for what it's connected to...). The DCHP server allows automatic allocation of IP addresses to all your network gubbins too - although I've set the IP's for my wireless accesspoint & print server to allow easier access to their brower based interfaces. The DSL-504 has a browser admin interface too for easy installation and setup, just type in the IP address (the default 192.168.0.1, as with most routers, but if it's changed you can always use the command line...

Netgear DG834G Wireless ADSL Router; perfect home solution

Advantages: Reliability and value for money.
Disadvantages: Operating temperature.

...In my opinion this broadband ADSL router is one of the best on the market considering its price. I have been using this model (I've had different versions) for a number of years and never have I known one to fail; this is especially impressive considering I never turned them off when in use. I am a very heavy internet user and when configured correctly delivers on the speed that you would expect. In terms of 'plug and play', there is very little needed to be configured on this product to start surfing away and it comes with a single quick start sheet that shows clearly how to access the configuration page through a web browser initially. For more advanced users it is very easy to configure port-forwarding (useful when playing online games or downloading via peer-to-peer to achieve the desired connection speeds). It even supports VPN...

Linksys's Lightning fast wireless router

Advantages: Fast speeds, Reliable, Stylish
Disadvantages: I had wireless problems, Gets a bit warm, no restart router option in config

...The Linksys WAG160N N300 is an ADSL2+ wireless modem router, meaning it has a a modem built in. It is for use with BT Internet connections rather than for use with a Cable broadband connection (i.e. Virgin) although a Cable version is also available. It?s an ADSL2 router, which means it supports the newer ADSL standard, which could mean faster transfer speeds although this really depends on your line quality, distance from Exchange, service with ISP, etc. The router currently costs £74.99 from PC World but a bit less at £59.99 on their website. I bought mine about 8 months ago on Ebuyer for around £55. IN THE BOX You receive two ADSL filter s, RJ11 cable, user manual, manual and software CD, power adapter and lastly, the router itself. THE ROUTER ITSELF One thing I quite like about the router is that it looks quite...

Netgear DG834PN Wireless ADSL Modem Router

Advantages: Facilities, easy set up, lights(!), stability
Disadvantages: Some backwards compatibility issues, lack of web executable filtering

...The Netgear DG834PN is the latest version of the DG834 and combines an ADSL modem with a wireless router and 4 port switch. In plain English, this plugs in your phone socket and allows one or more PCs to share the connection via either a wired or wireless link. The modem part is ADSL2+ ready and should work with even the fastest ISP offerings out there which as at Dec 2006 are around 12mbps in the UK. The setup wizard worked flawlessly and apart from the username and password, worked everything else out for itself and had the DG834PN up and running in a couple of minutes. As with most similar devices, further configuration is done via a web interface. The wireless section supports 802.11b and 802.11g as well as Netgear's own 802.11 Super G variant offering 108Mbps. The unit features 6 internal Antennas which constantly reconfigure...

...Ethernet ports - connect up to 4 network-ready computers with Ethernet cable i.e. wired connection.

Network Transport Protocol: PPPoA (for UK) + others. Digital Signaling Protocol: ADSL (up to 8Mbps, average 2Mbps, sounds familiar with most of the ISPs?), ADSL2 (12Mbps), ADSL2+ (24Mbps, very good if you live next the exchange).

Belkin ADSL2+ High-Speed Mode Wireless-G Router

Advantages: Very stable, good speed
Disadvantages: Not a pretty boy, yet to get remote admin working

.... There are a few admissions here and there and some of the routers more exotic features are, in my opinion, worthy of more detailed explanations. At least it has not been written in chinglish. Features I have not used the complete set of features this router provides, so I will comment on the ones I have. Firewall with SPI This should take care of intrusions from the internet, from which I ran a check to see if the most common ports on the router were "stealthed" (I.E. did not respond when contacted) and they were. On some other routers I have found ports (like the ones used by Telnet and Finger) to be open by default. Not exactly what you want considering there are over 65,000 of them!! Port forwarding (called Virtual Servers by Belkin) Appears to work well without issue. I have successfully configured FTP, pc...

Review of Belkin ADSL2+ Modem with High-Speed Mode Wireless-G Router - wireless router

stable, reliable router

Advantages: bullet proof, future proof, idiot proof
Disadvantages: too new to be great value for money

...We bought one of these through work to handle our company 2mb ADSL connection. As with all linksys units this is well made and behaves nicely. the 4 port switch is as fast as it's supposed to be. The setup is as hard as you want to make it. there are lots and lots of screens that can be used to tune your internet experience down to fine details, it contains URL blocking, IP, MAC and bad word filtering and you can set it to only allow specific computers to access the net - as if the unit wants to be a proxy server when it grows up. We selected this router specifically because we were looking long term at getting an SDsl connection when it became available and this router is one of very few which will handle that technology (sdsl has the same incoming and out going available bandwidth, rather than adsl which has more incoming...

Review of Linksys ADSL2 Gateway with 4-Port Switch AG241 - router

I`LL GET MY KICKS ? ON ROUTER £66

Advantages: Ultra simple to set up, Compact slim design
Disadvantages: Pitiful length of Ethernet cable supplied

...leaflet can be but thankfully I printed more detailed instructions directly from AOL. It should be noted that Ethernet adapters or cards for the computers you wish to network are NOT included; typically these can be bought as PCI cards for around £10 each. Luckily the two computers I was networking together came ready supplied with Ethernet ports to save the time and trouble of buying and fitting them. ♦Why the Netgear DG834 router?♦ Well, I wish there was some technical explanation as to why I decided on this particular router but the truth is that it simply looked the best. AOL only support 3 wired routers and this one is the mid priced of the trio. It also has double firewall protection (NAT and SPI) built in to stop unwanted security breaches, this and the fact that it is future proof and upgradeable to ADSL 2+ means it...
