Hi all I have a network setup I am installing for a client's house. The clients want lots of networkable devices in the house (multiple televisions, blu-ray players, up to 3 computers (only 1 is a true workstation - the rest are glorified internet bowsers/media players) plus phones, tablets, etc etc) and they have zero ability to troubleshoot or fix network problems themselves. Basically, they need 100% reliability in their network and I will be installing commercial-grade router, switch(es), NAS, Network Multifunction Printer - and the wiring has been done thoroughly and properly. All fixed devices access the network via ethernet, mobile devices access the network via wifi obviously. In any case this is detail you don't really need but this is my first time posting here and I am trying to follow the rules! The important part to know is that I will be going to install either a 12 or 24-port unmanaged Switch which then goes to something like a Cisco RVS4000 router which has built in firewall/VPN etc (VPN only useful because all these devices like phones and media players will be constantly automatically accessing the internet for various apps/functionalities running in the background). What I am after is a recommendation for solid standalone ADSL2+ Modem that is commercial-grade that never needs to be restarted or turned off. Does such a thing exist? I am just after a recommendation for a product... And I like separate components because that component does one thing well and isn't overloaded doing things. But maybe I am living in a fantasy land. But if there is something better I am all ears. Oh, the client's telephone/ISP will be Telecom NZ. The client's apartment is located at the bottom of Albert Street in the Auckland CBD. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated- even one line answers with product codes are very welcome! Thanks! EDIT: Or a 100% reliable modem router that I can set to bridge mode which is commercial grade I guess is what I mean EDIT 2: Whoops! The replies are coming in already! Thank you!
