Router Chipset opinions

[link to this post]

What's good, what's not so good? For a 2.2km connection on ADSL2+ if that matters.

I'm a Broadcom fan smile

But my experience has shown that the only way you'll know for sure is to try lots of routers! There are a number of variables at play...

Hence I am trying to get said variables ironed out before leaning towards any given chipset.

I find the Netgear DG834GT to be the best router for stability on the long up to 8Meg 20CN connection to my exchange.

The GT has a Broadcom chip I think it's a 6348 and the vendor (DSLAM?) chip is TSTC (Texas Instruments) so although not the same they seem to work well together for my connection.
