i recommend the netgear3600 that may be now 37 or 3800. most wireless routers come with at least 4 cat5/cat6 ports.

I would use the AT&T Two Wire so that any problems would be on the AT&T end.

I thought you said "AT&T". (LOLLLOLLLOL) Net Gear is also good so far as I know. I usually use the Lynxis. Cy

Cy,

I agree that the 2Wire is excellent, unless it dies a year and a half after installation, out of warranty, of course. I especially liked the statistics it gave on my line, convincing me that there was no point trying for a higher speed DSL service. Too much attenuation! I am now using the Zoom Telephonics X6V, which is doing a good job for me. It has a much better wireless range than did the 2Wire, probably because it has an external antenna instead of an internal one. Setup of the Zoom X6V is not for the faint of heart though. The setup program is not speech friendly, leading to a lot of guesswork. Since it wasn't a recommended model by my telephone company, the setup with them was not automatic as it was with the 2Wire. Once I got past all of that though, the user interface to the gateway is just standard HTML. Gary King w4wkz@bellsouth.net

Agree. It's not so much which router, but how well the user interface works. That's why I like the 2Wire Gateway and the simple setup web interface.

Well, I hope your 2Wire lasts longer than mine did. One day I found that it was no longer connecting to my computer. Cycling the power would get it going for a couple of minutes, and then it would quit again.

As I said, once the Zoom X6V is running, the interface works well with JAWS and other screen readers. It's just the setup program on the CD that needs some accessibility improvements. Unfortunately, I noticed that this setup program is used with several other Zoom models, so buyer beware! Gary King w4wkz@bellsouth.net
