  Despite looking similar to its modemless cousin, the N600 DB wireless modem/router is a different entity. Problems with Intel and Ralink chipsets, worrying heat output, middling wireless performance and long waits between changing settings mean that this one should be passed over.

    At $68 it's worth a try - especially if you're not really in the market for a new one and it's a step up from your old modem/router. Poster above is happy with his, and for the money you can't really do any better. I'll grab one and see how it rolls!

      This is terrible advice.

      For $10-$20, sure, that's not much to "try" something that is KNOWN to have several issues.

      However, at this price there are many other options available.

      FYI, I bought a $20 Belkin router before and it is nothing but trouble. Constant dropouts that required me to restart the model by pulling out the power was my main issue.

      But I bought another branded $20 router on sale and it is a very solid performer that has never given me problems.

        I guess one guys $20 is another's $68… and a bargain to some isn't necessarily a bargain to another as you have demonstrated. .

        I've seen plenty of routers cheaper but rarely reasonably specc'd "modem routers" for this money.

        For me, it's worth splashing down $68 on a RRP $200 item to have a play. Others can make their own minds up regardless of my "terrible advice" in the prior post ;)

        Cheers.
