So I've had a surfboard 6580 modem/router combo for the past year and I'm fed up with it's issues. I'm planning on getting a separate modem and router and looking for some suggestions for a modem. I just want something that works. My cell phone won't stay connected and my internet randomly stops from time to time. I'm not on a super fast data plan and don't see myself upgrading to it any time soon. I just want a setup that is consistent and doesn't constantly drop the signal.

Any suggestions?

 

belkin N600 is what i have.. so far so good..can't say the same for comcast tho..lately i've been having slow speeds at ridiclously high price for internet.

 

I have a 2TB time capsule no issues. Solid.

 

syadmin here.



This works well for me.

 

i have a netgear wndr3300 router that ive never used before. i wanted to run custom firmware but couldnt figure out how to do it so i never even tried. let me know if youre interested in it.

 

anything that supports dd-wrt. I personally have a Asus R-N13U. No issues with it.

 

I've been using a d link dir 655, have 3 of them at 3 different locations. TBH I've only had problems with a handful of routers, notably the early MIMO and draft N routers,

the motorola modems are pretty decent, get something with docsis 3.0

 

Not sure about model numbers but ive been happy with Netgear and Linksys products

 

netgear is the only brand i avoid, but thats just personal experience, routers and wireless dongles from netgear seem to crap out on me really fast, that and bad drivers.

 

Been using DD-WRT software on a Linksys WRT54G2 for 6 years with 0 issues. As stable as can be.

But recently upgraded to a Linksys E4200 V1. Flashed with DD-WRT again and has been running perfectly since day one.
