ADSL2+ Box

[Scuba_Steve]

TelstraClear's now Vodafone (not a fan of Vodafone, at all!) & they've failed to offer a decently competitive package for quite some time now, this coupled with their "different" billing method (it tends to go up faster than any other ISP's I've ever been with) which I've ignored in the past as they had competitive pricing, means it's time to consider heading back to a ADSL2+ service.

So I'm gonna need a ADSL2+ box. Wireless is optional (it'll prob be disabled anyways), would like at-least 2 etherweb ports, cheap is good & reliable is a must (cause I don't like resetting the fuckers & it's not gonna be easily accessible)

What brands/models would ya'll recommend?
Does anyone use the TP-Links are they any good? they're nice n cheap

I've got a few TP Link routers and switches. No problems

TP Links are affordable and decent.

+1 on TP-Link. All my network gear is TP-Link now, never faults. Check out http://pbtech.co.nz or http://www.pricespy.co.nz for best prices etc.

http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=MODTPL8968&name=TP-Link-TD-W8968--4-port-300Mbps-Wireless-N-ADSL2+ thats what I am running at the moment, havent had any problems so far, running a web/irc/ftp/ssh server through it as well.

or there is http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=MODTPL8841&name=TP-Link-TD-8840T-ADSL2+-Modem-Router-wFour-Etherne is you really dont want the wireless. Havent used it, but its TP-Link, so should be good.

Good to here the TP-Links work well at around 30-50$ they're some of the most affordable out there & most also can take DD-WRT firmware, not that I think I'd have much use for it.
But I do like the price of Mashmans Thompson only single port but that's all this TC one is anyways so It's manageable, just means like now the PS2 won't be connected. Might have to relive you of your free (presumedly) Telecom modem then Mashman :)

Next up it'll be finding & switching ISP's... I'm thinking Snap! if anyone has any thoughts on them

Best ISP ever. I changed from Telstra to Snap due to the extortion-like prices that TC charge. No traffic shaping either.

Tis de Telecom one... or at least I think that's where it came from. The box has been opened, the kids have drawn on it, but I've never actually used the thing. You have mail ;)

I've put DD-WRT on a Linksys wireless access point, nice to be able to crank up the power output a bit and play with a few other settings as well
