1. What do you think of this as my wireless router.http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-AC3200-Tri-Band-Router-DIR-890L/dp/B00PVD81MK/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1441155477&sr=1-7&keywords=router. And specifically how is the range.

What is the best Phone Line Modem in USA. It must have atleast 2 Ethernet port.

What Is the best network switch but it dosen't have to have many Ethernet ports Due to max of 3 systems on it.

While it has superb specifications, that router is probably one of the most buggy routers i have ever seen, i would stay away. i would look at Buffalo's WZR-1750DHPD or WXR-1900DHPD  or WRT1900AC-FFP

 

You don't need a switch if you only have 3 systems on your network, these routers are MIMO(multi-in, multi-out)

1. its pretty good

2. what? Does your ISP not supply you with a modem or are you looking for a CPE to replace that?

3. That is really a hard question to answer - are you looking for purely the best for switching packets? which speeds do you need? Gigabit or 10Gbit? Does price matter - what is your budget?

- SNIP -

 

Yup... That is overkill (but awesome!)

Are you sure that the ADSL card is supported by pfSense and your ISP and supports the technologies they use?

 

EDIT: The card does not support Annex M, so you cannot utilize that if your ISP uses that Annex - and it does not support VDSL or VDSL2 either - so you might need to find another card to futureproff the router more
