What brand of Modem/Router do you use?

[ricktas]

After a chat in the mods area this morning, I got to wondering what brand of Modem/Router's are popular with AP members

So here you go, a Poll

[Captured Exposure]

My phone line is hooked into an Alcatel Modem(Telstra) from many years ago, my PC and such hooks into a Netgear Modem/Router, it was just a pain to get going to work with my ADSL and haven't tried again.

'Modem' brand/model is:
Motorola SB4101(STILL!)

router brand/model is:
NetGear FWG114P

[yummymummy]

I have a 2wire one through bigpond.. haven't had any problems with it using netgear adapters for the boys puter and it's a pain in the proverbial! always dropping in and out grrr

[Old Skool]

Another one for Netgear - might have to put that on the list. Or is that the same as Netcomm?

[milspec]

I chose the D-Link because it was the best pre-N at the time. Come to think of, most of my network gear is D-Link except for my 16 port switch which is Netgear.

Added Netgear.. Thanks, was sitting here trying to think of all the major brands as I set the poll up.

I've use a "Billion" wireless router. About 5years ago the Tel$tra modem crashed and the Tel$tra replacement lasted about 3weeks. Gave up and got this little Billion, couldn't be happier, never missed a beat, and voip capable.

I'm using Linksys by Cisco. I had a D-link prior and it gave me nothing but trouble. The Linksys hasn't skipped a beat.

[farmer_rob]

Same as Deb - using linksys after my Dlink spat the dummy (was never really happy with it). The Linksys gear has been going well for a while now.

I have a rather complex set up at home. I use a Billion Modem Router for ADSL and a N wireless network for streaming media to my PS3 for movies/photos etc on my lounge room big screen and for my computer. I also have a separate G network that streams music from itunes using an Apple Airport Express to my hifi setup. It also connects to older G only devices such as my iphone and kids laptops.

[DAdeGroot]

Hmmm, mine is a Cisco (although actually it's a Linksys, but Cisco bought them out and rebranded).

However, I have a small pile of routers here that I have used, and keep as spares:
* Cisco (Linksys) AG241
* Cisco 837
* Billion (can't remember the model number and it's on the bottom of the pile).

Also a dead Cisco 857 which had a disagreement with a power spike

Cisco 857 here.

Another Linksys here - Never had a problem

[Mary Anne]

I have a NetComm its 6 years old this week.. And never had a problem.

Telstra modem, linksys router. Even though my modem is wireless I only use it wired and use my router as my wireless network. I also am wired to most points where the laptops are used to keep speeds to an optimum.
