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-T20B | Technicolor DGA0122 | FireBrick 2900 | |
---|---|---|---|
Specs | 4 port, wifi, FTTC, ADSL, Bridge modem | 4 port, 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi, FTTC, ADSL, Bridge modem, analogue phone compatible | 4 (5) port Ethernet Router, fallback and line bonding, IPv4 & IPv6 firewalling, port mapping, and traffic shaping |
Summary |
(T20B for short!) A consumer grade router which ideal for home use or for small offices. |
(T'Color for short!) Our higher specification standard router. If you want better range, you can use 2.4 GHz. If you need higher performance or speed, you can use the 5GHz band. The 5GHz band, has the potential to cut through network clutter and interference to maximize network performance. |
(FB for short!) The FireBrick 2900 is a router, bonding box and traffic shaper. It can act as a SIP PBX, VPN tunnel endpoint and concentrator. Most commonly it is used as a general purpose network appliance in office environments, or for customers that would like to bond 2 or more circuits. |
Ideal for: |
|
|
|
Not so good points for: |
|
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) |
We prefer the DLINK as a bridge due to MTU limitations (they drop packets above 1504 bytes) |
||
Built in WiFi | |||
Native IPv6 | |||
Built in FireWall | |||

Typical Scenarios
Or, maybe these typical scenarios will help you decide:
You can always use your own equipment, that's fine too!
