DSL Modem replacement

ags131 · 05-13-2009, 12:46 PM

I am wanting to replace our rented DSL modem/router combo. it is a westell model that centurytel provided when we got DSL. I am wanting to know what we need to buy to replace it. We already had a lingsys wrt54g router before when we had satalite. Now we have the linksys setup in the other end of the house to service the other computers. Is there any DSL modem.router combos or do we have to buy a plain modem and hook it into the router?

There are lots of DSL modem/routers, but I'd suggest a plain DSL modem, debugging issues later is simpler with two units.

I have bought several from sellers on ebay. All have been fine. See if you can find a direct replacement for the one youre using by ebay search.
