I was looking at that for possible future reference and have seen good reviews. Regards the internal antennae it "has a feature called Ai Radar that purports to focus its radio in the direction of connected clients, boosting both signal strength and range."

However there are reports on the ASUS forums that it has problems with some modems with diconnections from the Internet (post 78 is from a Virgin Media user) and RT-N56U keeps losing lease. Looks good if they can sort it.

ok so I have ordered 100mb so it looks like I should buy the Asus rt n16??

Seems to be the main selling point on here...what is the signal like for something upstairs? as router will be down stairs stepsons laptop and 360 are in his room so would like a good signal.

I actually meant to ask what the tomato software is and what does it have thats better than the supplied firmware of the router?

Out of the box firmware has DNS issues. Loads of sites won't open. To be honest it is unusable. IMO.

Tomato USB has so many options you won't know what to configure first. Seems to produce a stronger wireless, faster throughput on lan transfers. To cut a long story short it's better at everything. Just install it to make the rt n16 awesome.

and set the wireless transmit power to 60 and turn off Interference Mitigation

hi guys
new to virgin here so coming from previous adsl line and modems i would like to ask about the cisco e 3000 model or the asus e16

few dsl modems/routers will have in the statistics the electrical lenth of the line or will state how far from the dslam like the billion 7800

has the cisco or the asus 16 with tomato usb this info in their stats??
thanks

craigj2k12 · 06-04-2012, 01:14

are you after an ADSL modem/router? i.e. virgin national, or are you on cable?

i am with cable and thinking get the cisco e 3000 or the asus but with the asus i have read the default firmware makes reboot the router by it self
i confuse
the asus got 3 thick solid external aerials so this this very good but the e 3000 has got 6 internal antennas and can not go wrong

i also am about the fritzbox 7390 can be use as router
http://www.avm.de/en/Produkte/FRITZB...7390/index.php

the wireless reception is not the best from reviews but it can handle same time 2.4 & 5 Ghz together and all the phones in the house
also is a adsl and vdsl for fibre (2 in 1) if change in the future for fttc , it intergears iphones and android phone and can use them while in the home network to make international calls free..... but is too much money about 200 quid so i turn to the e 3000 or the asus 16

still undesired about these two

I've just had my VIP 50 package upgraded to 100mb (As it essentially the Collections package) and I have the VMNG300 modem.

When connected to my D-link DIR615, the max speed I am getting is around 94Mbps. When the modem is directly connected to the PC, I get easily over 100Mbps.

Virgin are sending me a Superhub, but I'm not planning on using it just yet, and even if I did, it'd be used in modem only mode.

My question is, I need a new router with Gigabit ports. I have found this: Link

Looking at the reviews, it looks pretty good for the money and the wireless looks decent as well. Is it any good? Does anyone else have one? Does anyone else have any recommendations?

Any info would be much appreciated.

I've heard good reports about tp link but went with the asus rt n16 for among other things, it's dual usb ports and the extra capabilities they open.

Jumping · 06-04-2012, 18:22

I got that TP-LINK one from Amazon and have to say its working great. Signal strength is excellent through the house now whereas the superhub was struggling. You could load alternative firmwares on it, but for me the latest original firmware is fine.
