Re: [DSL] Best HIGH CAPACITY and Secure DSL Modem for service fr If you really want flexibility for later you will need a modem/ soho router combo. The modems with routers built in just never off the same flexibility.
Currently I just have a Qwest modem doing its thing not even bridge into a linksys wrt54gs running tomato. The new wrt54gl will also run tomato firmware. the tomato firmware is setup to keep dyn dns working for me. Thus I can run servers. The wrt54gl can be found for around $50 or so.
Not a business class solution but workable for home fun use. |

| Tomato is interesting... what can you say about OpenWRT? Which 3rd party firmware is the easiest for newbies that can read a manual, and that a networking pro would like to use if I had to hire one later?
I have to setup my dyndns too. Are there routers that help you do this automatically out of the box? |

There are plenty of ADSL2+ Router/Modems that are very flexible. Two such examples are below.
Windstream Speedstream 4200 Full Router/Modem
Speedstream 4200 ADSL2+ Router and Modem (2 in 1 device)
Earthlink ZyXEL P660R Full Router/Modem
