How do I find a good ADSL router?

Sponsored Links:

ADSL is still alive and kicking around the world, so the question continually begs: What is a good ADSL router? Are there routers that are better than others that offer better services and features? Am I paying the right price for my ADSL router or did I get ripped off? Well, that’s what we want to answer: We want to talk about some of the best ADSL routers we’ve found through reviews online. We’ll also tell you what we think you’ll pay for them, and where you can find great deals on these ADSL routers. Stick around and you’ll find some good information from this post!

Cisco has been a major brand name in routers for years, and for good reason. The quality of products they put out are second to none; even major names like Netgear can’t always keep up, even though both are solid manufacturers. Cisco has been known to deal with industrial-type routers meant for large businesses, so you can really guarantee that the routers they put out for the general public are usually pretty good. So, the first solid ADSL modem router I want to talk about is the Cisco 837 ADSL Broadband Router. This can be used for large and small applications, not just small household networks like its competitors. This includes a heavy-duty security firewall system that’s easily configurable by the user, but not so oppressive that it blocks you out of everything. It still allows you to watch videos, and even has a secure voice feature that can be used through the security system. That’s excellent for corporate applications where you might have to do teleconferencing on a regular basis. How much does the Cisco 837 cost? You can usually pick this ADSL router up for pretty cheap; it generally goes for $60-$70 depending on the store, and can be found at sites such as Tiger Direct, Newegg, etc.

Now that Cisco and Linksys have teamed up, you can find a great deal with a great ADSL wireless router. The Wireless-G ADSL2 Modem Router is one of their newest offerings, and has a slew of great features that make this a good fit for small office and home office applications (SOHO). The wireless nature of this modem makes it easy to set up and configure. Just plug it into your modem, set a password key, and connect using your laptop’s wireless card. It’s pretty easy. It also comes with an industry-standard security configuration tool to make your network secure. Check it out!
