Re: Routers for modem mode on a budget

Re: Routers for modem mode on a budget
How about THIS then?
It would help if you told us your budget.
Oooops I see you already have.

Re: Routers for modem mode on a budget
Personally, I'd go for the C5 and put DD-WRT on it.
The choice is yours though.

I have a stock C7 that works very well. Looked at DD-WRT but AFAIK it doesn't utilise the hardware NAT.

Re: Routers for modem mode on a budget
You don't need to change the firmware, I just like the advanced settings available with dd-wrt.
It was a purely personal point of view.
