We are often being asked to give our opinion on which is the best ADSL modem router. This is not an easy question, choosing the best ADSL modem router depends on what features you want.
But we have decided to answer this question simply selecting the best router ourselves and giving you reasons for our selection. The winner of our “Best ADSL Modem Router” is… Netgear DGFV338 ProSafe Wireless ADSL Modem Router! And now we will tell you why:
Pros:
1. Netgear is a company making network equipment therefore routers are something they know how to make both for home, office and large data centres.
2. This router has 8 wired ports unlike many other modem routers that come with 4 ports only.
3. Netgear DGFV338 features dual firewall: SPI and NAT therefore you are under double protection from attacks.
4. Wireless encryption is at the highest level available – WPA2 Enterprise!
5. Netgear DGFV338 allows up-to 50 simultaneous VPN connection – access your PC from anywhere (requires VPN to be set up).
6. This router features dual 5DB antennas giving you very good wireless range – use you laptop from your back garden without loosing connection.
7. Featured network management software – ProSafe is one of the best and easiest to use.
8. Wizards for setup including connection and VPN.
9. ADSL2+ modem and 802.11g access points are built-in.
10. And the last entry (prepare to be surprised), which is not obvious in other descriptions found on the sites that sell this adsl modem router. Netgear DGFV338 has a WAN port for failover. It means that this is the only combination router we are aware off that can work both with your ADSL and cable lines. Therefore if you live in a cable area then you can use it as a cable modem router as well. You can use it as a main connection or as a failover connection in case your ADSL line has any problem.
Cons:
Not any that we are aware of.
