Hi,
I just ordered broadband DSL service from century link, 10mbps down speed. So im in the market to buy a modem and a router. Does anyone know of some good models?![]()
-
When it's an ADSL you should always go for something with a Broadcom chipset- these are far better than modems based on TI AR7 and Conexant.
-
Does it matter the speed of the modem? Or just the router? Im not savy with this stuff
-
We're talking ADSL stuff, right?
If that's the case- that would be ADSL2+ (up to 24mbps).
There are quite a few good modems from TP-Link, Drytek (expensive) and Thomson- most important part is an ADSL chip and Broadcom tends to be the best. -
I believe century link is adsl, but im not 100% sure.
Do you suggest any perticular reputal websites that have broadcom chips modems? What do you think about this one?: Motorola 2210-02 DSL Modem Southwest Region (Silver):Amazon:Electronics -
It seems to use a Broadcom chip and Motorola has a good reputation when it comes to modems so it should be OK.
-
Thanks,
I found this one too., : D-Link DSL-2540B Modem with 4-Port Ethernet Router
Which one do you think is better quality? -
It should be OK but D-Link isn't really known for good firmware support.
What about TP-Link TD-8840? It costs even less, uses the same chipset and is pretty good with firmware updates.
Mind you TP-Link TD-8840 not TP-Link TD-8840 T -
Hey thanks! That's what im looking for! Im trying to find a reputal seller online. I found bluebuyer.com but it seems fishy. I can't find any reviews about the site, and it looks like that domain is up for sale by owner.
Recomend a good dsl modem?
