Hello, my town has just had the good opportunity to be getting ADSL. So finally, I'll be upgrading from dial-up!
I'd like to find out since I'll be setting up a LAN with 2 other PCs and a MAC, which model/router/firewall hardware I should get.
I was looking at the NetGear DG814 which is a ADSL modem and router in one...... but I'd have to get a separate firewall hardware. I also read that the LinkSys BEFSX41ds was/is one of the best router and firewall hardware in the market, but then I'd have to get a separate ADSL modem.
Which hardware combination would you advice to get? Is there any recommended hardware out there which has all 3 modem/router/firewall functions in one? I would have any clues to for which ASDL modems to get in any case. I have no knowledge in Wireless modems, and I'm not sure if wireless modems would work in a 2-storey house, hence I mentioned only wired hardwares.
Thanks! Very much appreciate any help!
