Exactly... valuable desk space is for things you actually need to touch... modems just sit there.

Vigor2600Plus ADSL Router - best modem/router here tbfh.

Vigor2600Plus Enhanced Firewall

The Vigor2600Plus includes full packet-level firewall facilities, not just the inherrent 'NAT' security and port-blocking of other routers. The router also employs keep-state packet recording; put simply, this means that when a packet is sent out, a reciprocal record is kept to allow a packet coming back in the opposite direction, but a default 'deny' policy means that any packet arriving which appears unsolicited won't get through. The Vigor2600Plus also features automatic protection from Dos/DDos (Denial of Service/Distributed Denial of Service) attacks and IP anti-spoofing. User-definable filters also allow you to add additional protection to your connection (see right). For added confidence, potential or foiled attacks are logged and can be reported via the router's syslog facility.

i win.

Floors are dirty. Floors are for feet... and garbage cans... and maybe subwoofers. Nothing else.

Some have stand-by buttons that are useful for paranoid people like me who want to quickly cut off their connections. And it's nice to be able to see the status lights when you're having connection trouble.
