My old router died last night. I'm looking for suggestions on a replacement. In a hurry! What needs to be replaced is a wireless DSL. Doesn't have to be fancy, but dependable. I have a DSL Extreme 6 connection via att. Needs to have 4 ethernet ports as all my rigs are hardwired. This is a bit of a priority. Thanks.
I am using this one:

Here in Denmark the price is around 100$, but itīs rock solid and can easily handle my 4 wired and 3 wireless conncetions on a 15/15Mbit line
Been using a Netgear AC1750 for a year or so, seems OK. There seems to be a newer model. Need to check the number of wired ports however. http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R6300.aspx
Edit: They have combined DSL modems and routers. http://www.netgear.com/home/products...odems-routers/
Just for clarification, my router and modem are combined, I guess, since it's a single piece of hardware. I'm not with it today, but it's a Motorola supplied by att.
If it's an AT&T supplied modem/router and it died they should supply a new one. I've had mine replaced 3 or 4 times by them over the last 10 years.
I think I have a DSL modem lying around that you can have if you want. If it works, you could then use whatever gateway/router/firewall you want and it wouldn't have to have embedded DSL support. I have a Cisco 3000 and also a 6500 which I like. Good throughput. No build in DSL support though.
My thought was to pick up something today. In the meantime I called att to see if I get a tech out asap. I've got a service call for Wednesday morning, which works for my timeline. So, thanks for the recommendations all and the offer Slicker, but I'm gonna let att take care of their mess.
If they don't cover it via tech support, then call sales. Often if you lock into a contract for another year they'll throw in new equipment and features.Quote:
