    Please suggest a modern "ethernet" ADSL modem

    Please suggest a modern "ethernet" ADSL modem

    Apparently I need an ethernet one for the Belkin Pre-N (MIMO) router I'm getting. My current Speedtouch 330 ADSL modem doesn't have an ethernet port

    Also, I don't understand the whole "speed thing". The modem here:-

    says 12mbps.

    Isn't that going to bottleneck a 54G+ system network?

    Any ideas?

    I appreciate that their stuff is normally shyte but the Belkin Pre-n has superb reviews everywhere so I'm prepared to go with it:-

    The model you linked to isn't the Pre-N - its a 54G modem. I need the range and signal strength of Pre-N / MIMO due the location of house / router etc

    We utilise a lot of D-Link DSL-300Ts at work with 3Com routers, and they seem pretty good. Stable, and easy to set up. That said, the 12Mbps limit is on the external side of the device listed, i.e. the ISP side. Your network would function internally at whatever the wireless speed is, it's only the external link that would max out at 12Mbps - and unless you have a greater than 12Mbps broadband service, it's not an issue.
