Hi everyone,
I need a new router as my current one (Linksys WAG320N) disconnects from the internet every 12-15 hours and needs to be restarted.
I need:
MAC Address Cloning
Wi-Fi N+G
DHCP Reservation
Ability to change from 192.168.1.x to 10.10.10.x
DMZ
QoS
Port Forwarding
STABLE!
Built-in modem
Telnet with IPTables is a plus.
Basically everything that my current router has but without the instability/crashes.
My budget is £120 (UK).
The built in modem is a ???? to me.
Never dealt with that. If you didn't need that I'd advise the new Linksys e4200.
Else, I have no idea. I'm only posting as this has no replies and it would be a bump, and possibly help you as a result.
May I also add that almost all of the requirements you posted are software dependent, meaning DD-WRT on almost anything would do what you want + much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much,much more.
I'm hesitant to go with Linksys after the current problems, it's not just me, it seems like it's EVERY WAG320N user:

So I'd need to buy a modem to go with the E4200? What do I need to look for?

Does it have ethernet ports? I can't see any...

Don't know about the modem bit.
The E4200 has 4 gigabit ethernet ports. (excluding the input from the modem)
Why do you need a class A address?

You mean the 10.10.10.x? I have some programs that only work from 10.10.10.100.

What? What kind of program hardcodedly limits itself to listening on one specific IP?
A terribly written one.
I've personally gone and put my modem / router in bridge mode (Well actually I've just disabled Wireless and the Firewall as I can't do bridged with it, but ideally it should be bridged.) and have pfSense running on my server as my router. If this is an option for you I'd suggest you look into it.

What are you talking about...
He's looking for a new router/modem, not setting up pfSense.
And what? Why would you bridge your router to your modem? Just to use it as a switch?

He's saying he's using his server as a router after he put his modem/router combination into bridge mode (instead of router mode). Which makes it act as a modem rather than a router/modem.

Oh, as in he has a combo piece of hardware with the modem included in the router?
Yes
