Re: Verizon DSL modems: Help me choose! said by aceOfWands:So, no one wants to weigh with an opinion on the best dsl modem/router combo model? Don't really know what to say...
In my DSL years from 2000 - 2008, I used an old Bell Atlantic/Westell dumb modem, a Westell 2200 modem/router and finally a Westell 6100 modem/router (which I inherited from a friend who switched to FiOS about a year before I did).
The last tier I had was 3000/768. I tried all of the above with a Linksys WRT54G(S) router behind them, with both the 2200 & 6100 bridged (needed the wireless). There was no performance difference among any of the combinations. The 2200 and 6100 held sync and speed a little better on my intermittently noisy tel line but that was the only point of any note.
So, for either the 2200 or 6100 combos, I think there is no worthwhile difference. Have no experience with the later wireless combos V* has offered since.
