New home router

[DaveB]

Need more info DB.

No, you need to read the original requirements spec.

Do you want VPN support? Think about the recent problems I've had with online banking fraud etc. If you're on the road a lot and using hotel wifi then a VPN dial in to home can give peace of mind.

Yes, Hence in the original spec.

Are you a gamer?

No, hence not in the original spec.

Do any of your devices use Voip/SIP?

No, hence not in the original spec.

Do you need parental controls?

No, hence not in the original spec.

Do you want to operate a DMZ, fixed or dynamic IP?

No, hence not in the original spec.

Fixed or Dynamic IP irrelevant.

Are you on ADSL or Cable?

Not relavent. VDSL so only need LAN connectivity which should be standard on a router.

What's your budget?

Whatever gets me the box that best meets the spec.

Answer these an I can give you my recommendations.

I can hardly wait.

What is VDSL? Webopedia

VDSL is currently going through a standards issue, so it isn't widely deployed yet.

But of course as it wasn't in your original spec that you were using a rare type of connectivity I should have somehow interpolated this.

And you need to make sure you are up to speed on the technology before offering advice.

Would your line be capable of running VDSL2, or would you prefer to opt for the slower VDSL?
