Best cheap Gigabit modem router around?

**phenom2** · 11-14-2012, 11:07 PM

I attached lately a new gigabit NAS to my old philips router....but now I want more speed on the ethernet...anyone could advice me a new gigabit modem router supporting 300N or faster wifi, adsl2+, stable connections? I do file sharing too...and a wifi button would be a plus!

What's your budget?

I would get a standalone modem and hook it up to a standard router.

That is also quite logical

It's what I need to do with TW. Their stupid wifi router modem thing sucks.

You can try Belkin N600DB for Gigabit n Dualband connection

Do you have that black Motorola box looking thing with the one blue LED? Because that's what I have right now.

Because a part of it's CPU and ram is doing the modem work. While half is concentrating on the router stuff :-p

I have a wr1043nd and It has a task manager to see whats using its resources. So I am quite paranoid with my tasks. If they get too heavy it either reboots the router or the process.
