Linksys WRT54G VS. AT&T's Westell DSL Modem/Router/Wireless

sammy2368 · 10-02-2007, 02:39 PM

Hello everyone.

I just switched over from Road Runner broadband cable to AT&T DSL.

When I had the cable modem, I used the Linksys WRT54G as my router/firewall/wireless device. AT&T offered me the all-in-one unit from Westell.

Is one better than the other?

One thing I noticed is that the uPnP doesn't work as well on the Westell as it did on the Linksys.

Thanks in advance!!!

Better? Who really knows. :) Different? Yep.

You can put the Westell in bridge mode and use the Linksys as your router if that makes more sense in your situation.
