FTTC Wireless 802.11n Router

Can someone recommend me a router that has the following specs:

4 x 1 gbps ethernet LAN ports
1 x 1gbps WAN port (PPPoE compatible)
IPv6 Compatible

802.11n with 3 x 3 Tx Rx antennas with 3 spatial streams.

TIA.

Netgear N600 ?

Only 2 spatial streams for that one

Not sure why you need a gigabit WAN port for FTTC, 10/100Mbps is plenty fast enough provided the internal processor has the necessary muscle to handle the other high-speed ports.

edit- the port on the OpenReach modem is only 10/100Mbps anyway.

The Billion 7800N seems to fit everything else, though you'll need the beta firmware for IPv6.

More likely to be wanted so that devices on the LAN with gigabit NICs (e.g. pretty much every modern desktop) can transfer data to each other at 1 Gbps.

Why would intra-LAN transfers need to worry about the WAN port?

I agree the need for gigabit LAN ports, it's the WAN port speed I'm questioning.

Ah right. Perhaps future proofing then.

That would be a fair-enough reason, but I suspect he'll be drawing a pension before he needs anything faster than 100Mbps on a BT connection

and I don't think there are any consumer routers available in UK that can do it (yet) either?

I'm pretty sure the Apple Airport Extreme has a gigabit WAN port (can't find the spec for the moment), but it won't handle native IPv6- it uses a (built-in) 6to4 tunnel.

That's why mine got relegated to "spare router" status.
