Which Router?

Which Router?

AFAIK Apple Airport is a wireless access point, not an ADSL router

For me (BT infinity) the vdsl is just a modem and the Airport is effectively acting as an adsl router, it has four gb ports one of which is a WAN port which goes into the BT modem.

Apple Airport? I got one, the BT HomeHub was awful, kids ringing me every couple of days 'Dad, Internet not working'.

Airport is rock solid, dunno if it does VPN tho, pretty sure I saw it in the menus mind...

I'm (possibly) a -1 for draytek - had one a few years back (think it was a 2800 or similar), and it wasn't rock solid. Had to reboot it now and then to get it working again. Maybe I just got a dodgy one as other reviews I've seen have been positive.

I currently use a billion bipac 7402NX and I do use it for VPN termination (not just passthru). But I can't really recommend that either - needs occasional reboots. Also the software updates aren't great. Typically have to restore factory defaults when upgrading and then manually reconfigure it.

For my next one, I think I may try a FRITZ!box. Weird name & look, but seem to do everything and have seem some good writeups. Plus made in Germany, so they must be "sehr gut", right ?!

Out of interest, do all the Vigor fans actually use VPN into the router (not passthrough), and what VPN software do you need to use on the client?

+1 for draytek. never had a problem in many many years.

Make Sure

When you VPN into your LAN make sure you are on a totally encrypted connection with a sniffer on I can read your traffic.WI fI easy to sniff your traffic.If your LAN admin is on the ball the LAN server should be cutting off your connection after 45 minutes of non use by yourself. On your laptop you should have everything encrypted using
freeware TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows 7/Vista/XP, Mac OS X and Linux If stolen sezzed by the Feds or Customs nobody but nobody can read your vital information.

Google is your best freind

Read the customer comments to decide Amazon.co.uk: vpn router

[eek]

I like my ASUS RT-N66U but its doesn't do the adsl side of things.

+1 I'm about to upgrade from my Vigor 2820Vn as I've just got BT Infinity. I'll only consider a Draytek to replace it.

Draytek are the only way to go, rock solid stability.

adsl or virgin?

ADSL

After a better router than the standard given to me by my ISP, mainly one that allows me to VPN into my LAN when I am away from the office, anyone got any recommendations?
