connected to my ADSL connection for the last 3-4 years.
<br>
I used a second-hand (few quid) BT Voyager 190 with flashed
firmware as an Ethernet modem. This connection used no accepted
standard, but it worked.
<br>
<br>
My exchange was finally upgraded to CN21 and ADSL 2+ became
available. I needed a new modem and the only one I could find was
a Draytek Vigor 120. It has run well until a few days ago and then
it gave up (8 months on total). With no internet my daughter was
giving me grief so I needed an alternative quick. In the loft was
an old (2007) D-Link DSL-2680 ADSL 2+ Router originally a "gift"
(Zero pounds). This was easily configure to "PPPoE over PPPoA" and
it became a temporary replacement.
<br>
<br>
The only problem left is, my daughter will not let me take the
DSL-2680 out of service.

Mike, thanks for an interesting thread,

With my Draytek Vigor 120 dead the question is, what else can I
choose from? So far I have discovered:<br>
<ul>
<li>Motorola Netopia 2210 DSL Modem</li>
<li>Netgear DM 111P V2 Ethernet ADSL 2+ Modem</li>
<li>D-link-320B ADSL2+ Ethernet Modem</li>
<li>Zyxel P-660M ADSL2+ Modem</li>
<li>TP-Link TD 8817 ADSL2+ Ethernet/USB Modem</li>
</ul>
<p>I have only added this information as it might save others some
time.</p>
