Re: Routers for modem mode on a budget
Hi,
For under £50 on Amazon you can pick-up a Netgear WNR2000-200UKS N300 router.
It is easy to setup and prompts when firmware updates are available and can download and install those updates from within the web-based administration pages.

Re: Routers for modem mode on a budget
Not worth £40 considering what is on offer for a little more.

The choice is yours though.

If the c5 has 3 aerials, then it is the identical hardware as c7. I can post the instructions how to flash it to make it c7. Note that thec5 v2 is not the same as c7
