DSL routers

It seems my trusty Speedtouch 530 has just gone pop, which leaves me
with a slight problem (and a Nokia hanging off the front of my main PC
as a temporary measure).

Anyone got a sound recommendation for a replacement? It needs to do
proper inbound NAT (eg. tcp 22 to one internal IP, tcp 3389 to another,
etc) and have a firewall that lets me set up proper rules. Wireless
would be a bonus but not a hard and fast requirement. And if it works
with both 8Mb and that new-fangled high-speed stuff, that'd be lovely.

Needs to be something I can lay my hands on, like, ASAP.

Cheers.

 

Got a stack of BT Business Broadband wireless routers at work - I'll
fire one up in the morning and if it meets the above criteria, I'll
drop you a note.

 

Not cheap but Draytek kit does all that.

I've got a 2600G I was going to ebay, which does all but the new fangled
high-speed stuff, the new ones are better and do the high speed stuff
too.

 

Sounds promising, but I'm not sure the mrs would be able to pick me
one up at lunchtime.

The Linksys WAG325N-UK looks promising...

 

this is me being thick, and never having had a non-commercial ADSL
line, but don't ADSL providers supply you with the router?

 

Generally, if you pay them to, yes. But there's no guarantee it'd do
anything beyond the bare minimum.

 

wait, maybe I'm been doubly thick - do they not even provide a single
network port ADSL "modem" as a default?

Certainly in the cable world, that's what happens, and then you plumb
your own router and/or WAP in.

 

"USB ADSL Modem" - not quite the same thing

 

ah, OK, I can see how that would be less useful. As in my reply to
Ogden, with cable you get a little box with an RJ45 socket on it.

And when we had a BT Business Broadband line into the house, it came
with a 6 port router/firewall thing.

 

Not in France or Switzerland. Just signed up with Swisscom, who do
offer one free of charge, but it's not a default. Thankfully they also
allow you to upgrade at a 100chf discount, to I ordered a wireless
jobbie at 98chf (~40 quid). A Motorola 3347WG, which I've never heard
of, but at that price I thought I might as well.

....or would if I could get hold of one.

Netgear DG834N it is then.

The NAT is sufficiently flexible to allow me to facebook from the office ...

 

My employer is sufficiently flexible to allow me to.

 

Bah. This is the kiddy:
