I am looking for a new Router/Modem combination, with openwrt-DDwrt-Gargoyle Compatibility.

Which is the favourite model for those custom firmwares?

It must not be cheapest model, but a well working one.

Any suggestions? (Pattaya or online ordering)

Linksys WRT54GL for a cheap model (up to about 10-15 users)

Belkin Share F7D3302 v1 for a slightly more expensive one. (up to about 15-30 Users)

Both routers doesn't have a "builtin modem". But I am looking for a router/modem combo.

If possible, a Wlan N router/modem combo

I would advise against it.

Routers and modems perform very specific and different tasks and you would be better off with 2 separate units.

While Routers are universally compatible, modems are specific to a certain connection type.

If you switch between ADSL, DSL, g.SHDSL, cable etc. you will need a new modem. A standalone router will work with any modem.

Also the open source router software such as DD-WRT are brilliant for routers, but not so supported on modems.

Seriously look into a single port modem and a decent router, will be much better than a combo.

If you want wireless N look into the Asus RT-N16

OK, so which modem is recommended for a relative crappy/noisy TOT Line?

Currently, I am using a german "Fritzbox 7270" with integrated modem and an custom "Annex A" Firmware.

But unfortunately, the modem hardware is more designed for our stable european DSL Lines, and so it re-synchronizises sometimes 10-15 times a day.

I also tried this "famous" N-Link Router, which came with my former TRUE DSL. Even this modem hardware seems to be more stable.

Maybe a good DSL-modem, would fit my needs?

I need the custom Openwrt/DDwrt firmware only, to restrict the bandwidth for some wlan clients.

My current router is also able (but more uncomfortable) to do this, but the modem su**s.

Especially with a bad line a dedicated modem will definitely be better at dealing with connection issues.

Just a thought, do your neighbours on TOT have the same problems as you?

If so it is probably the distance/line to the exchange - if not you may benefit from getting your internal line re-wired.

I don't use TOT so not sure of the best modem for their lines but Im sure someone else or even the TOT engineers will be able to give a suggestion.

With the router - if you want a cheap, proven, reliable model get a WRT54GL, available all over Thailand.

If wireless N is a big issue (you will only use the extra speed within the local network, G is faster than most internet connections) then consider the ASUS RT-N16

Also consider looking into Tomato firmware - only a few features less than DD-WRT and much more user friendly. QOS will allow user bandwidth throttling.

It is definitely the external (long and crappy) cable to our house, because some neighbours have similar problems..(100% resync, if it starts raining, etc..).

If wireless N is a big issue (you will only use the extra speed within the local network, G is faster than most internet connections) then consider the ASUS RT-N16

I need wireless N, because my Laptop's and our small file and backup server, are connected via wireless N (3 times faster than G, and I don't want to lay cables through several rooms)

GARGOYLE

seems to be very nice and user friendly, too...

As it seems, I have to buy a router and a separate modem, please suggest a good modem device for my TOT Line
