Hi, Chorus fixed something and my router worked for a day then fell over, then they prob gonna charge me $200 b/c the issue was mine when they made the 2nd visit.

Anyway .... so I need a new router. On dialup now.
Some people say a Netcomm NB6 is good, what about NB14? What about other brands?

I am either looking for a all in one unit (with wireless func) or get a simpler $80 modem and a Gigabit switch with wireless function b/c the Netcomm NB6 modem does not have wireless.

There doesn't appear to be much Gigabit switches + wireless units (no modem).

Suggestions apprec.

:)

I would go for a Draytec for an all in one solution.

Even the Draytec low end modem, basic AP, and any switch would work well.

Can't go wrong with the Zyxel series of routers. They are pricey, but you can't beat them for reliability.

In 12 years of selling them in various variants I have 1 failure inside of warranty ever (hand on my heart).
