Hi

Can the Dlink 855 act as a modem as well as a router?

If it doesn't what would be a good modem to buy to go with the dir-855 as my speedtouch 585v6 is starting to play up and reboot multiple times a day sometimes just looping in a restarts.

Don't want to go with the 2wire singtel would provide if I recontracted as I had nothing but problems with one of them in the past.

Thanks

Do you need the wireless coverage of the 855?

If not you can consider 3COM 3CRWDR300A $230

Nope, dir-855 is just a wireless router.
Any modem shld do decently. Keep the ST585 running cool, and change adapter if you think its faulty.
