Anyway what device would the list wisdom recommend?
Depends on a lot of things.
At work we absolutely recommend a cisco SR520, or a SR520W if you want
an AP. However I realise this is outside the reach of most home
users. If you find an 857 cheap then grab it (where cheap is under
$hundred) Don't bother with an 837 or older, they only do ADSL1.
Personally I don't mind a venerable linksys WRT54GL but its only an
ethernet router, you still need a DSL modem and then you're in the
realms of double NAT.
......Then again I'd not have DSL by choice. Ever.
My folks got a linksys WAG54G2 - new about $150 at the time. Does
everything and has fair wireless range despite having no external
aerials. Probably you'd get an 802.11N variant nowdays.
