Wireless Router with ATA Options

    Hey there.

    I'm looking into getting a Wireless router and a VoiP set-up (prob with Blueface) and was wondering what my options are for getting a single device.
    The modem comes with my ISP so I need Router+ATA w/QOS.

    So far I've seen:
    D-Link DVG-G1402S - €100 with expansys

    AVM Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7050 - €195 with MarxComputers
    (also has modem which I don't require)

    LINKSYS WRT54GP2 - have only seen on eBay USA, available in Ireland?

    Are there other devices people can recommend?
    The D-Link seems good value-for-money but the one customer review I saw for it compared it unfavourably with the Linksys.

    Also, since I haven't got a phone yet would I be better off getting a VoiP phone and can I just get a regular wireless router to use with it?

    Thank in advance,

    Daire

    If you decide to go for a Fritz!box then the 7050 is no longer being provided by AVM. The 7050 has three phone ports and an ISDN S0 port (to connect to an ISDN PABX) so the replacement for that is the 7170 which now adds a USB host for memory sticks etc and two more ethernet ports.

    If you're happy with two phone ports then go for the 7140 which also has the USB Host.

    Although you're getting a modem from your ISP you can set the Fritz!box up to look after this (as you're already aware) and you only have one box/PSU etc. The Fritz!Box has good logging facilities for both the VoIP and DSL connections - again all in one location so if you're having problems then you've only one box to check out.

    This would be great except that my connection is wireless with Digiweb.
    Also, since I haven't got a phone yet would I be better off getting a VoiP phone and can I just get a regular wireless router to use with it?
    Anyone have an opinion on this? Wireless phone (w/ builtin ATA) + wireless router vs. Regular phone + wireless router (w/ builtin ATA)
