Need a new wireless router modem...

Max_87 · 15th Mar 2009, 04:22 PM

Are there any cheaper alternatives that offers QoS feature similar to the one on the DLink DSL-2740B? DSL-2740B is a bit too expensive for me

If you want to know how the QoS looks like on the DSL-2740B:
ftp://files.dlink.com.au/products/DS...nual_v3.00.pdf

Linksys - DSL Hardware - Whirlpool Broadband Forums
Linksys WAG series doesn't seem very popular here lol...

I torrent, so I don't want something that hangs when there are too many connections

As for Wireless N or G... not really important to me since I don't transfer files much through the router.

Recommendations please?

Eh, isn't QoS a standard feature in all new WiFi routers? Some don't call it QoS but it's there. Even my super old and cheap 3Com WiFi router has QoS.

You are right, I just checked some of the more popular WiFi routers here and they all have that feature.

I'm too outdated when it comes to routers, didn't know it has actually become a standard feature now.

I'll just simply choose any router that the forumers in Whirlpool recommends

disable upnp & just portforward would prevent the modem from hanging?

thats what i usually do.

before that it use to hang alot.

plus i just started running ddwrt.

Some modem still locks up even if u disable uPnP and port forward. I heard that it's because the NAT table on the router is not big enough and bittorrent opens too many connections and fills up the table which eventually causes it to lockup.

Yeah, that's what happens to my 3Com router!

Get something that supports DD-WRT firmware and you don't have to worry about features
