Hi All,
I need some recommendations for a DSL modem/router. It must be ADSL2 compatible to work with Centurylink ISP. My net speed is 12Mb. The modem/router I have is ZyXEL - PK5000Z. It works but seems to drag down the speed on both my wired desk top and wireless laptop. Two story home, desk top 1st floor, laptop on the move (lol) up or down.
I would like to keep it as one unit for space saving, unless separate modem and router units are better. I just don't know about this stuff. Price around $100 +/- a little. All advise appreciated...:D
Thanks,
Michele
 
@johnb35, can I just ask, what is the advantage of having a separate DSL modem and router as opposed to having them all in one? :)
 
Because the router will determine how good of a wireless signal you get. Most of the modem/router combo units don't provide good wireless strength.
