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, Bridge modem | PPPoE Bridge Modem, ADSL | Single port basic router, ADSL | 4 port Ethernet Router/Firewall etc. |
Ideal for: |
|
|
|
|
Not so good points for: |
There are a few minor 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) | |
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 | n/a (as used as a bridge) | |||
Built in FireWall | ||||
