I'm about to upgrade my router to a new, faster and more capable one.
I own a Linksys WAG120N Wireless ADSL Router and after using it for a good 4 years, it's time for me to upgrade and buy one with capabilities such as:
802.11 AC
5Ghz Channel
BeamForcing Technology
USB port for sharing printer and Storage Devices
As a student, I'm on a budget right now and I don't plan to buy an overkill product with extra features that I probably won't use therefore based on my usage which consists of online gaming, streaming videos, and home-networking; I need a router that costs between $100 to $200.
I'd like to like to hear your suggestions.
Also, my internet comes from an RJ-11 port on a telephone line which gives an ADSL internet and what gets confusing is when I'm surfing online shopping websites, I find out there are two sections for routers, one is ADSL Routers, the other is simply Routers with no mentioning of RJ-11 input.
Although looking at the photos of the back of the routers (Non-ADSL ones) I find no input of RJ-11 socket but mostly a WAN port with 4 LAN Ports.
So I have two questions about this matter:
Does WAN port support RJ-11 sockets?
Should I purchase a separate ADSL modem and then connect the LAN Cable to the wireless router and use it as bridge mode?
I'm not good at networking terms so please forgive me for any mistakes made along the text.
