Moving down the list, you might see some older models, but these are still solid pieces of hardware that often serve as a way for people to save money on the tech they need to get connected. The Netgear model at number one and the Motorola at number three are great examples of this, as they're both newer additions to the marketplace that have a lot of modern features to offer users, from stronger firewalls and VPN services to wireless signals that will actually cover an entire home. We wanted to make sure we kept our ranking relatively current, with many of the top models being produced more recently to help ensure they offer the best security features and the strongest Wi-Fi connections. Some of the more popular brands among cable modems and routers don't have a showing at all, though, as they've phased out production on DSL equipment due to the prevalence of cable and fiber optic services.
The Netgear DGN2200 is another model that only offers 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, but it is known for providing a stable connection, decent enough speeds, and good security features.Ī lot of the market is still pushing some outdated tech for DSL consumers, even among some of the brand names that made it onto our list here. However, we do realize that some people need to stick to a tight budget, which is why we included the TP-Link TD-W9970, despite it only offering single-band Wi-Fi. Generally, most people will be best served by something that offers dual-band Wi-Fi, such as the Actiontec CenturyLink C3000A and Motorola MD1600, as these will provide the best service in locations with a lot of interference, which is pretty much everywhere these days. We have done our best to identify the best options in what is, admittedly, a dated category, and have even had to resort to including a couple of discontinued models.
However, in many areas of the United States it is the only type of high-speed internet service people have access to. It isn't a secret that DSL is becoming an outdated technology, and, as such, most companies aren't making new modems for it.
