Which router for windows 7 64bit?

[cw64]

After asking my ISP nicely if they could upgrade the PoS speedtouch modem they originally gave me and receiving no reply it looks like I will be buying my own.
Windows compatibility center has alot to choose from, so I could use some help in narrowing down the field a bit.

• High performance and relyability is a must.
• Needs to connect to ADSL connection.
• 2 Ethernet ports minimum (1 of which is Gigabit) to connect 2 comps.
• Wi-Fi isn't needed and would barely be used so if it has that capability it needs the option to turn it off.

I stumbled on an artical a while back that listed a few routers. It was about them not all supporting a max half open connection of 200 or something. I can't seem to find it again, if anyone has a link please post it.

0. Win 7 x64 is Not a variable in such quest.

1. If what you have now is a Modem/Router then the issue that first has to be resolved is a Modem.

2. All commercial Routers have 4 ports. Either 4 x100Mb/sec., or4 x Giga.

Getting a stand alone Gigs switch is a Better solution.

3. If you do not needs Wireless almost any Brand name Router would do.

That is the one I use and I have been really impressed with both the features and performance. One box that takes care of my DSL, wireless, wired and even NAS without so much as a hiccup. Has never needed a reset since I plugged it in.
