I'm new to posting but have been reading the site and forums for a little while. My question is, what is the best dsl modem out to buy right now?
I'm currently a cable subscriber myself, however I'm trying to help speed up my girlfriends verizon dsl subscription. I just built her a computer and installed a wireless pci card. She was running on a Westell Wireless Gateway Model 327W1 and the connection was fairly slow. So I bought her a D-Link WBR-2310 wireless router to improve upon speed. Being that the Westell is a modem and a wireless router in one, I decided to see if it would work to just use it as a modem and use the d-link as the wireless router. However there seems to be connection problems doing it this way. I guess maybe the all in one, doesn't work at just being a modem, since it is built to be a total gateway.
So is there any advice you can give me to improve upon the current setup? Or can anyone point me in the direction of a good dsl modem? I'm guessing the Westell isn't the best out there to begin with, so it might be worth it to just go straight to buying another modem, so any help in finding a good dsl modem is appreciated.
