Hello, everyone.
I have read the stickies.
I need a router recommendation. I just subscribed to my local cable Internet (Cable One) with (up to) 50/2 meg service. Best speeds I can get through my old WRT54GL (DD-WRT) (10/100 WAN) are 20 ping, 42 down, 2.3 up. Connecting direct to a computer (Gig-E port) I get 10 ping, 52 down, 2.3 up (Speeds from speedtest.net). Modem is a Motorola SB6121 (Gig-E port). I'm pretty sure I've hit the WAN limitation of the WRT54GL, your charts show max 53.
What I'd like in a new router:
1. Gig-E WAN port.
2. DD-WRT compatibility.
3. Removable external antenna/antennas.
4. Enough WAN headroom to easily maintain my provider's full speed.
5. Least expensive without compromising quality/reliability.
6. Wireless speed is not important, but range is. N150 is plenty.
Thank you very much for reading this. I will probably get 2 of them, my son in law is probably going to be subscribing to the same service, we are both fed up with AT&T. I just ditched 3 meg service, he has 12 meg service and isn't happy with it.
