Re: Recommendation required for ADSL modem + 4 port Router

["liakakos" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most of the IT techies I know have Draytek routers. They're very
reliable (It's never dropped out on me, never required a reboot -
absolutely no problems ever, which is a first for me), and have a lot
of functionality if you need it - VPNs, multiple IP addresses, NAT,
VLANs, QoS, static routing, etc. They aren't as cheap as the usual
crowd, but, as they say, you get what you pay for.

I've got one of these:

This is the same with wireless:
