1233693 2011-09-26 08:14:00 ok, first, most linksys routers are pretty rubbish, I used to have one (recently got a tp-link, far better). A lot of them are constantly reset themselves, and if you are playing an online game, then it constantly cuts off. So if it's for gaming, then do some serious research, you dont want one of the dodgy ones. skeptile2 (16539)
1233694 2011-09-26 10:26:00 Yeah I agree, MOST Linksys are, but the TP-Link stuff is just as nasty. Chilling_Silence (9)

1233696 2011-09-27 04:51:00 I am also in the market for a ADSL modem+WIFI-router to replace the rubbish Thomson supplied by telecom, as a modem it works fine but as a Router its rubbish.
So whats a good Brand to go for? from what I read above I will stay away from linksys.

Most people here commented that the Thomson is crap; but from my personal experiences with 3 units of the Thomson routers, they are excellent. Very good signal strength (wireless), stable, excellent speed. However, I have to admit that the user interface (for setting up) is definitely not user friendly, other than this, I can't ask for more.

According to the manufactures Its a 4 port wireless router (www6.nohold.net) But yep, NO ADSL, for that it would need a modem attached.
