What would AAISP recommend as a router/Modem?

This is a table of the routers/modems that AAISP sell, and their features.

Technicolor 582n 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.
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

We prefer the DLINK as a bridge due to smaller MTU

Built in WiFi
Native IPv6
Built in FireWall
Notes

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 FireBrick 2500, and use a DLINK modem if you have ADSL lines. Or use a 2700 of you have faster lines and may want fallback to 3G.
