What ADSL modem to buy?

[iamgenius]

I don't see many dsl modems threads. Is this because the modem is always provided by the ISP? What do you use with your wireless router? OR do you use an all-in-one-device that has a modem and a wireless router?

From the sticky router recommendation thread, it seems to me that everybody is concerned about getting a good/proper wireless router. Now, that should mean everybody is using a separate modem, is that right? There aren't many modems selling nowadays I can see, and I wonder why!

I want to use the D-link DIR-655 wireless router, I really like it. Which modem do you recommend me to get to go with this router?

By the way: I'm currently using the all-in-one- device USR 9108. It is an US Robotics gateway.

Thanks

I'm sorry, the sticky thread I referred to is in another forum. I asked this there also.

Sorry again.

Why do you want a new modem? If your current modem is fine, I would set it to bridge mode and plug it into a WAN port on a home router appliance. Most modems can operate in bridge mode but it may be hidden somewhere.

Just in case you are still curious, I use a Motorola/Netopia 2210 that was provided free by my ISP.
