Hi all,
I'm moving my home office and in doing so, I'm setting up with a new internet provider (LightSpeed)
They provide 'naked DSL' and have quoted ma $100 for the modem they provide. I'm sure I can find better than that.
My question related to looking for advice on selecting a Modem/Router combo for the network.
Parameters for my network.
My priorities are:
The guy who will set the network up has suggested a router with the following specs:
The modem the company has spec'd (for $100) is an Ovislink OV604V.
I'm told any other modem I select should be VDSL compatible.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Also please ask questions if I haven't noted anything.
Thanks in advance.

My question related to looking for advice on selecting a Modem/Router combo for the network.
Parameters for my network.
- All computers are windows or Android based.
- The office will likely be run from a combination of wireless and wired, while the house will be wireless.
- The office will include 2-3 computers, 2 printers and an NAS (DS1513+)
- The office is on a different level to the house.
- The NAS should be accessible from offsite, so we must be able to configure the ports (which I cannot currently do with my providers modem)
- I would like to stream to our television (netflix and other movies)
My priorities are:
- Reliability
- Ability to maintain connection when I deliver files to clients (often up to 4GBs)
- Ease of use for me to maintain
- Wireless speed should be good.

- Linksys E2500
- D-link Wireless AC750 or AC1200
