Great price for the Linksys WRT110 once again from Wireless 1, a Linksys router that supports DD-WRT firmware.
Some other great routers:
BELKIN BASIC MODEM/ROUTER 4PORT N150 $39.95 + postage
LINKSYS WRT310N $69 + posatge
Some other items also on sale.
Note a limit of one per person, and a limited number on sale.
Combo.
For people on ADSL2+ most people will get a wireless modem router.
Combo because otherwise with separate units you have to do double NAT, or half-bridge and suffer a short outage when your IP address changes and the DHCP lease has to expire before you get the new address.
hrm, if the modem runs in bridged mode and the router creates the pppoe session, there's no outage whatsoever, and it's not double-natting. That's how separate modem/router combos are meant to be set up.
Yes, but sometimes you want the modem to handle the login and not have to run a separate PPPoE client downstream, e.g. the router doesn't have it in the firmware.
Well… can't say i've ever seen a router that couldn't do PPPoE. :)
I've got one. It's old that's why.
I've got it separate (had it this way for 4-5 years) but I would rather a combo simply because.. it saves space?
But it's been working absolutely fine.
Do they have this in store as well?
The Belkin modem/router is available in-store, as is the WRT110.
WOW, now this is a deal, Linksys.
I use separate.
separate is for pro users.
Combo is for people on tight budget.
You will never find a 5G/2.4G Giga Eth Modem on the market.
What about the Fritz!Box 7390? This is a gig ethernet and 5G, 2.4G dual band WiFi.
I've got the Netgear DGND3700, dual band 5/2.4 Gb Ethernet Modem Router
Anyone know if you can go into store and buy it at this price? I'm thinking of just price matching at OW to save the postage costs.
Yes you can pick up at the Paramatta shop. Let us know if your able to price match at OW? They do have a limited quantity so this may make a price match more difficult.
Thanks for your quick response Crownanchor.
If I'm able to grab one, I'll post up the receipts as soon as I can.
Quick whats a good one!!
haha I am in the market for a wireless N router with WOL to cover the other side of the house.
Any of these suitable?
edit: sadly the belkin is a modem/router
and the two linksys's have terrible reviews of constantly dropping connections.
I currently have a linksys and can testify that the range just isn't great, seems to be okay with connections though.
Last time I bought from these tossers, they charged my credit card, and then I didnt hear from them for two months. No response to my query emails, and no updates on shipping or anything. 2 months later I finally get a call saying they had run outta stock, and want to know if I wanted a refund.
I can honestly say ive received better customer service from CoTD. Will never buy from them again.
Edit: The item was a Linksys WRT310N - guess they hadnt really run outta stock. Just inflated their price (it was $59 delivered before).
These seem quite old models. Looking through the data sheets & reviews, there seems to be some debate about if they are really true wireless-N. Anyone able to confirm?
As some of you may know I wanna hook up my XBOX 360 & Blu-Ray player to the internet without buy their own wifi equipment. I am thinking of getting a Asus RT-N12 to do this so it will connect to my main wireless modem Belkin N300. Will this Linksys WRT110 do it too and what one would be better to use?
i don't know much about modems but would you not be better off spending another $5 and getting a wireless modem and router in 1
Belkin N150

Any feedback from anyone on the belkin n150?
EDIT: Google search shows its a router only. Why is it being advertised as a modem and router?
It's definitely a Modem/Router, this is the Belkin Part # F7D1401au, which is on our site as well.
That model number has been known to be called a Belkin "Basic" as well as a Belkin "Connect". They are identical to one another, just the packaging is slightly different.

How about D-LINK Wireless G Modem Router for $49.97 from DSE including free delivery? Is this good?

Note that this is wireless G though, not N. What's the difference?

Regarding my experience with the "Belkin Double N+ Wireless Router" (F6D6230au4)
STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! I bought the same Belkin basic modem/router from MSY a few months ago for 60 dollars, it had horrible speed, signal strength, did not come with an adsl2+ splitter and plenty of connection issues (even after firmware upgrade).
did not come with an adsl2+ splitter
Does it advertise that it comes with one? O_O
I'm sorry to say but MOST adsl2+ modem/routers come with adsl2+ splitters. Belkin is just stingy. But feel free to buy one for their crappy support and an inferior piece of molded rubbish plastic.
Can you name me an adsl2+ wifi modem/router that comes with a splitter and costs less than $39?
@eug: You get what you pay for. Speaking from my own past experience with an identical product, I would say it's lower price is for its crappy support, performance and reliability. My TP-LINK W8960n was 63 bucks with an adsl2+ splitter, came with two detachable external antennas, has excellent coverage around my home (and remains excellent upstairs too; unlike this Belkin basic modem/router i used once, which had very low signal upstairs and kept on connecting/disconnecting). AND, MUST I ADD: PLUS Postage, which depends on where you live; i.e I live in melb and postage to that costs about 11 bucks PLUS 39.95=50.95, I rather add 12 more bucks to save me the effort in waiting and get myself a more reliable product from a nearby computer supplies shop.
well there you go. Belkin aren't stingy, they're just giving you what you pay for. :)
Something dodgy here. The deal says it is $35, but when you follow the link the price has magically changed to $40.
WTF.
WRT110 is $35, the Belkin is $40, when adding the Linksys to the cart the price is $35, cant see where the issue is.
Is the WRT110 definitely supported by DD-WRT? And if so, link?

Oh, you answered your own question already lol
Wonder why original post has "a Linksys router that supports DD-WRT"?
F**k it, i bought the Linksys WRT110 only because i saw the OP said it can support DD-WRT firmware. Should've done the research to confirm, thanks to you Crownanchor now i have an useless router.
Are people buying wireless router modem nowadays or buying modem and wireless router separately?
