I've got a NetComm because my Billion and others couldn't handle my ADSL2+ speed.

Wonder which mod Rick is talking about, cuz strangely, I went out and bought a new modem today!!
It's now Belkin. Having just churned from bigpond to internode earlier this week, the Telstra modem didn't work and I had to put my old D-Link back in its place. Wasn't overly happy with that either so hence the shopping trip today!
I wanted a combined modem & router (sick of multiple devices and power cords and network cables everywhere!), with both wired and wireless. So far, so good. The PCs are connected and I checked out the wireless with my laptop a short while ago and it worked. Now to try the laptop somewhere else in the house!!
Rick, the other consideration is whether you need VOIP and/or wireless and what sort of wireless and the ADSL speed available. When you add these features the choice of brand becomes very limited.
#1 SECURE your wireless or I'll steal your bandwidth!!!!
Use a STRONG password (at least 14 including upper and lower characters, numbers and a few special characters)

I use Bigpond 2wire Modem + D-link wireless router & engin VoIP. VoIP's great most of the time, sometimes I have to make sure I'm not running anything else on the laptop.
Linksys!
Had a dlink g604t for years, constant dropouts, firmware upgrades, wireless hardly worked, kept dropping out under heavy use.
Switched to Linksys, I've restarted it once in 5 months.
I use Billion.
How many people keep their firmware up to date?
G'day Rick et al
Ah............ you're all out gunning me
I'm just using a USB-plugged wireless modem under the Virgin banner but running on the Optus network
Once the kids left home, we cancelled the phone line into the house, saved $150pm in access fees, so it's wireless for the 2 of us - esp as we're on-the-road travelling for many months each year

I have the Telstra 2 Wire Gateway I have a lot of trouble with it going off line, I am about to install a D-Link.
I use a Billion - but mainly because that's what Internode advised me to get!! Haven't had any problems with it at all. I needed VOIP capabililities too.

Newbie with a D90 - 50mm f1.8 AF...trying to get my head around Lightroom 3 and Elements 8...CC more than welcome
Good reminder Kym, we actually forgot a while ago and for some reason the modem wasn't storing the password to keep the wireless network secured, luckily it was our next door neighbours son pinching bandwidth so we found out.
Dlink here....has same modem for a few years now, and has handled speed upgrades fine.
i use an open networks router issued to me from primus. In the past i have used belkin, d-link, 2 wire, thompsons and alcatel....I have had the least trouble with this one...compact and very user friendly
Kind Regards, Deb

I haven't updated the firmware of my router of late.
I'll check tonight to see what I'm up too with it, the D-Link one I was forever upgrading/downgrading trying to find one that worked.
I was using WEP on my old d-link, I upgraded to try and fix the dropouts and I lost WEP access, which a piece of equipment at the time didn't like. Frustrating when D-Link wouldn't acknowledge it was the router at fault.
I am using a Huawei E960 Inzone wireless/WiFi modem from Optus.
It works faster in the mornings; slows down a bit in the evening when lots of people are making phone calls. Other than that no problems. Faster and cheaper than ADSL.
Plus I also have a Huawei E160E USB Wireless modem from Optus for my laptop which I use when traveling.
