Need ADSL router with USB and wi-fi that can handle multiple IPs.

Feek · 17-09-2007, 09:36

Now that I've got all my domains in the same place (thanks Beansprout) I have the need to replace my ADSL router thingie.

I need a box that can handle ADSL, wireless, multiple external IPs so I can NAT different addresses to the same box on different ports and a USB port so I can plug an external hard drive into it for NAS access.

Gigabit on the ethernet would be useful as well, but not essential.

Any suggestions? I'd love a Draytek but I don't think they do any that can take a hard drive. Linksys would do, but I don't think they can handle multiple IPs.

So you're wanting PAT (Port address translation)? I don't know of any home routers that'll do all that lot, sorry matey.

My old Draytek does it all except the hard drive support (and the gigabit).

I didn't realise that Drayteks did PAT, that's handy to know.

Don't get too hung up about GigE, you can pickup 8 port GigE switches for under a tenner these days.

Without going to a Linux PC-based system, I don't think that combination exists as one box. Sorry.

Agreed with Mark. The hard drive requirement is the killer really.

I'm not bothering with the multiple IP thing, I've gone on for as long as I have with just the one so I'll stick that way.

Pretty much decided on the Linksys WRT350N so looking for the best price I can find. It's got three aerials and looks damn cool

That'll run Talisman and OpenWRT (firmware), if one, or the other, or both, don't support multiple IPs, I'd be very, very surprised. Only problem with that though is they might not support the hard disk feature.

Indeed, I have Talisman bridging two subnets on my WRT54G right now, and that's an old version.

Pretty sure OpenWRT will handle a drive (or several with a hub). Looked at it myself before.

Talisman and OpenWRT?
