Looking for New Router

    Hi,

    I am currently a Vodafone customer that still has an existing Eircom Netopia 2247-02.

    As far as I can tell it is a dsl router.

    I am looking to upgrade to a new router as the existing one is having trouble connecting some devices. Also as started dropping wireless connections

    Do you have any recommendations?

    Is this router suitable? Asus RT-N66U Black Diamond Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router

    Thanks,
    Brian

    If the problem with your existing router is wireless interference, changing router may not solve it. That Asus hasn't a Dsl modem, you world need to bridge the Netopia you have. Those Asus are a good router, but are about 3 times the price they should be

    Get vodafone to ship you a Huawei HG556A, will be a huge upgrade on the 2247 (Not that they werent a great little workhorse).
