I need a new unit for the house since the last draytek may have got soaked lol. Now if I was after just a wap I would have gone for a Ubiquiti unit but I'm not sure if they do one with them modem and router built in? I could just buy another Draytek which I really like but that seems like a waste of money for a single user home.

| look at the TP-link stuff, I use mainly Draytek (or Cisco if I need that) for £67 inc Vat they do a VDSL compatible unit, the Draytek 2860 series I tend to use are great (with 4G fallback if you want all that) but for home, Zyxel/TP-link take some beating, IMHO.... |

TP Link for home, and they WILL honour the three year warranty with an email and reciept. ------------- It's everything, not everythink! |

i got some d-link dir615, found in charity shop, installed dd-wrt on it, works nicely. if you getting adsl modem from your isp set it into "modem mode" or equivalent, let your own router do the routing. |

| The thing about TP link is don't think they use a classic processor setup, so no open-WRT ect, they seem to be FPGA based! |

I'm running Open-WRT on a TP-Link AP... It was pretty useless with the stock firmware but works really well with Open-WRT.

| Ok, I may be wrong, we were benching a TP router recently, no way is that running any kind of embedded Linux, it was virtually wire-speed, either way, not-bad kit on the bang/£ list... |

| When I had a problem with choosing a router, friends advised me to try Cisco routers as they were their users. Cisco Routing provides intent-based networking for WAN, LAN, and cloud. Network routers include advanced analytics, application optimization, auto provisioning, and integrated security to provide a complete, proven solution. I found out more about Cisco at https://cciedump.spoto.net/ and checked the terms that some of them offer users. I have been using it for several weeks now and am quite happy with my choice. |

| Wow and 5 years later I'm still running openwrt, archer C7 looks like a good choice now bang for buck. |
