| If you make a quick search on this forum, you will find TP-LINK modems also use broadcom chips, like in ST-516, which are thought to be good. ST-516 is for "geeky" person for its rich features as I observed. But I always use my modem in bridge mode, so a cheap but stable one is enough.

| I am not clear about this "manufacturing" thing. But from my pre-purchase research and 8 days testing, it turns out to be good.
Mind giving more details how these two are manufactured? I am interested.
