<div dir="auto">I have a tp-link archer 600 router, I got from my ISP, and it does not reliably pass packets to and from the wifi and wired networks. <br />

Eventually, I will get around to replacing it. <br />

<div>OpenWRT is a great choice. Alternately, I've been using a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-X to do PPPoE. The ER-X is a ~200 NIS Gigabit router with integrated switch chip. I love these little Ubiquiti devices!</div>

<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Furthermore, D-Link devices tend to run on outdated kernels.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>

<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><br /></p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
