Hello list, Not long ago I bought an Asus DSL-N14U and I've been impressed by its abilities, especially since it's quite cheap. One feature I particularly like is its guest networks (I have a lady of advanced years* next-door), of which it can establish three. But its logging feature is woefully limited, whether remote or local: I get lots of empty or incomplete log entries, which Asus says it can't improve. It has a few other minor bugs too.
Does anyone here know of a "professional" version of this modem, or an equivalent? I mean one that does the whole job, not just what it needs to do to get past the marketing department**. I'd like proper logs, and finer control over what traffic is allowed between wired and wireless LANs, and to/from the WAN of course. Even suitable Google search terms would be good. PPPoA is not used here in the UK as far as I know. * Even more advanced than mine, and maybe even Walt's, and she suffers from some other effects of age too (don't we all who are past Alec's tender years?). ** [OT] I once saw an entire company destroyed by its marketing department. "Trust me, my boy," they said. They knew that all customers require ad-hoc additions and alterations during the course of the project, which when added up made them a profit. Wrong! We had a water-tight functional spec, complete with minimum acceptable response times, and we insisted on a director-level change-control board. Bad, bad news for them. They could see the writing on the wall but they thought they knew better. How stupid can anyone be? Anyone heard of Empros? -- Rgds Peter
