Help Choosing A Router

What would AAISP recommend as a router/Modem?

AAISP customers are free to use their own routers if they wish. This is a table of the routers/modems that AAISP sell, and their features.

	ZyXEL VMG1312	DLINK 320B	ZyXEL P660R-D1	FireBrick 2500/2700
Description	4 port, wifi, FTTC, ADSL	PPPoE Bridge Modem, ADSL	Single port basic router, ADSL	4 port Ethernet Router/Firewall etc.
Ideal for:	Home use Small office All-in-one unit	Use with a your own PPPoE router/firewall Can do full 1500 byte MTU over PPPoE, which the ZyXEL can't in bridge mode	Use with your own IP router Can be configured to be a bridge modem, but we'd suggest the Dlink	Flexible and feature-packed router Advanced features such as 3G fallback, bonding etc.
Not so good points for:	User interface a little quirky and buggy if you want to deviate from the standard configuration	Don't use it for anything but a bridge!		Steeper learning curve, as you'd probably expect from a router of this level (but A&A can help support)
Configured by AAISP				Sometimes an extra charge is applied
ADSL/ADSL2+				Will require a Modem, such as the DLINK
FTTC
Ethernet Service
Use with your own PPPoE router (Bridge mode)	see: Router - TG582N - Bridge		We prefer the DLINK as a bridge due to MTU limitations (they drop packets above 1504 bytes)
Built in WiFi
Native IPv6		n/a (as used as a bridge)
Built in FireWall
Notes	Wiki Category	Wiki Page Only use as a 'bridge'	Wiki Page	Wiki Category

Typical Scenarios

Or, maybe these typical scenarios will help you decide:

Your Scenario	Our Suggestion
I'm a home user, wanting wifi and wired connections for ADSL or FTTC		Technicolor 582n
I have my own routerboard or similar router with ADSL		DLINK DSL 320B. In bridge mode, your router can then talk PPPoE to it.
I'd like to do bonding with ADSL/FTTC/FTTP		FireBrick 2500 Use a DLINK modem if you have ADSL lines. Or use a 2700 of you have faster lines and may want fallback to 3G.

You can always use your own equipment, that's fine too!
