!Description
|-
!Ideal for:
|
*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:
|
There are a few minor [[VMG1312: Bugs|bugs]] that we're aware of and working with ZyXEL to fix
|
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)

!colspan=2| Our Suggestion
|-
|[[Image:
|'''ZyXEL VMG 1312'''
|-
|[[File:
|'''DLINK DSL 320B.'''
In bridge mode, your router can then talk PPPoE to it.
|-
|[[File:2700-small.png]]
|'''FireBrick 2700'''
Use alongside a DLINK modem if you have ADSL, or the ZyXEL 1312 if you have FTTC lines.

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