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-T20B | Technicolor DGA0122 | FireBrick 2900 | |

Ideal for: |

ADSL/ADSL2+ |

We prefer the DLINK as a bridge due to MTU limitations (they drop packets above 1504 bytes) |

Native IPv6 | n/a (as used as a bridge) | ||
Built in FireWall | |||
