Best cheap Gigabit modem router around?

[phenom2]

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.

[CDsDontBurn]

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.

No newer customers get their branded Wifi router. Has 4 10/100 ports, a crap wifi G, and little for settings in the gui.

I know. After moving in to my apartment last month and TWC set me up, I got a black modem / router box from them with a 4 ethernet ports + WiFi that is made by Motorola. I didn't see anywhere that mentioned it had the TWC brand on it anywhere. That's why I was wondering if that's what you got as well.

Most ISP modem/router combinations only contain a basic to mid-grade router. Best to have it either bridged or a standard modem. From there build your network.

Well...my budget could be 80-90 euros. I have 40 euro of tickets I could exchange for a discount on a near Shop. I have seen these models there....from Sitecom. WLR 5000 and WLM 4550...they seems to have both gigabit and same characteristics...in what they differ??!!
I've seen that the Belkin N600DB has no led for eth ports...really strange..are we sure it's a gigabit one? Nice design anyway!

Use your stock modem. Purchasing a modem + router isn't worth it. You get worse performance for more bucks.Anyway, the cheapest Gigabit Router would be the WR1043ND (300Mbps), it's amazing, for around 50$.They do have a cheaper version, but it doesn't have a USB port.I got this router myself, and i really love it

[phenom2]

but actually i'm using a modem router...and my old modem is really really old and doesn't support adsl2+ i think. I don't want two devices there. Why worse performance? Actually this router is satisfying me...even if it's not a gigabit...everyone goes pretty well on my little home network

[James86]

Why not get a Giga 8port switch?

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.
