1353357 2013-09-12 08:11:00 I use a regular Dynalink ethernet connected modem for my Internet use, but I'd like to play around with a wireless one - simply because I've never used one and would like to have it as a backup.

I have an option to have one of three modems as a gift from my friend, and I'd be keen to get an opinion on which one I should choose. They are:

1) Telecom Technicolor TG582n ADSL2+ Wireless Router

2) D-Link DSL-G604T ADSL2/2+ Generation 2 Modem Router

3) Linksys Wireless-N Home ADSL2+ Modem Router WAG120N

I don't want to muck around TOO much with these things, so which should I choose?

Thanks.

ps - running Win Vista SP2

Had no problem with either of them.

1353360 2013-09-12 10:47:00 Of the three, the Linksys WAG120N is my pick. Make sure it's in a well ventilated area, preferably somewhere a bit cooler. As chill mention, they can have heating problems - but are great aside from that. inphinity (7274)
