New broadband new router - Solved...I hope!


With the problems I hve been experiencing with broadband lately, it was time to sort out a bit of fallover security. Looking around the different suppliers I decided to go with BT this time and get a new line installed and broadband together. I was amazed BT said this was going to be completed within 7 day, new line, new broadband and install.

Keeping my exisitng broadband with fixed IP addresses, the idea was to split the LAN with servers etc on the fixed IP's and the desktops using private IP addressing. The next task was to find a suitable router to achieve this. The router that was recommended was the Draytek 2820n Wireless router.

Now tis router is a remarkable bit of kit allowing a second ADSl connection to be added (this can even be a 3G wireless dongle). The router also offers static nat and a host of routing features that will suit me just fine. The best amazing thing about the Draytek 2020n is that it comes in at under £190.

Take a look at the Draytek 2820n
