Hi Winton, I work for Adam Internet (Adelaide), and I get a lot of customers asking me exactly the same thing. My answer is - provided the ISP-supplied router is decent, has good features and a 2+ year warranty, you should go with whatever they offer. The reason is that if you ever have a problem with your service, you can get FULL support from the ISP. If you supply your own hardware, it makes it really hard for the support staff to do their job and therefore any issues may take longer to solve. Just make sure it's a "decent" router, and has a good warranty. If you did want to supply your own, ask the ISP what models they know to work OK - don't expect a miracle answer, but they should be able to at least point you in the right direction. Hope this helps. Cheers, Callan -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
