New Modem?

[Kruziik_Kel]

I managed to pick up a Western Digital MyNet N750 router to replace my ancient wireless G D-Link modem/router provided by my ISP (Talk Talk if it matters) unfortunately the WD refuses to work in Bridge mode with the D-Link which form my understanding should be supported during configuration of the WD I can connect to the router but it cannot connect to the modem 

 

I am not particularly well versed in networking so I am not certain of my diagnosis but it would seem to be a modem issue so I am in the market to replace it I am not 100% certain what im looking for but after a quick search on Amazon ive come across a D-Link DSL-320B (priced at £20) and a TP-Link TD-8616 (priced at £15) are either of these suitable? or do I need something different?

What type of a connection are you getting: cable or adsl ? Both have specific modems.

For now you could just DMZ your router in the modems options.

its DSL.

 

Oh and almost forgot the old D-Link is a DSL-2640R honestly want to just get rid of the thing at this point its been having some wired issues in dropping connection again I think its the modem but honestly im not sure it may just be the thing is on its last legs

Turn off QoS D-Links can't handle it.

it isnt on, one of the first things I tried after a little research when the problem developed a couple months ago it worked for a time but I honestly thing the thing is heading out either way just need to replace it and get the WD working

Then get only a modem so it works flawlessly in bridge mode, though i don't get why the WD doesn't.

So should I go for the D-Link DSL-320B (priced at £20) and a TP-Link TD-8616 (priced at £15)? is there any major difference between the 2?

Both are pretty much the same, if you want to try your luck with D-Link again go for that also i think it has more software features than the TP-Link.
