<div dir="ltr">In addition to everything Yuval said, especially about putting the modem into "bridge" mode - <div>OpenWRT is a great choice.

<p>Definitely the TP-Link, they have great hardware and that device
works great as an xDSL modem.<br>
</p>
<p>Furthermore, D-Link devices tend to run on outdated kernels.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Put the TP-Link in bridge mode to minimize attack surface, use it
just as a dumb modem, and put a proper OpenWrt box behind it.<br>

<p>Hi, <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Think I'm down to: TP-Link TD-W9970 vs D-Link DSL-224. Any
recommendations/thoughts/war-story's are highly appreciated.
Sadly they both do not support dd-wrt or open-wrt, it looks
like no ADSL modem does these days, so that will need an extra
box.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
