My line has just become enabled for FTTC broadband so I'm starting to figure out what equipment I need to buy.
Current setup: Netgear DG834v2 connected to the ADSL. This is set up to not do NAT, and we have 5 wired devices attached (2 directly, 3 via a switch) which all have their own public IP addresses. One of these devices is a wireless router that runs NAT and handles all our wireless devices plus a couple of wired ones.
We'd like to keep the setup as much the same as possible, effectively just replacing the Netgear DG834 with something that will handle the FTTC connection. I've had a little look at these forums and seen the Billion 7800n mentioned (tho I'd probably buy the non-wireless version). Is that a good router? Are there any other recommendations for routers at about the same price point or cheaper?
(Our ISP, Zen, recommend a Draytek one that costs ~£290 and I'd rather not pay that much if I don't have to.)
Thanks,
pling.
