I have an ADSL internet feed from CenturyLink in the US, 40 downstream and 20 upstream. Currently I have a Technicolor C2100T modem/router, which is fine, but somewhat limited in its configurability, and with a number of bugs both in its user interface and capabilities. I would like to replace it with a more flexible device. Here are my requirements:
- It must be a modem and a router, like the C2100T.
- It must support my 40/20 internet feed.
- It must have WiFi support, like the C2100T. If it has 5g support, even better; however, that is not critical.
- It must be completely configurable when it comes to port forwarding. The C2100T won't allow you to change forwarding schemes for some ports (they seem to be reserved for specific applications) and only allows you to forward an external port to the same internal port; for example, it won't allow me to forward port 5780 to 6880 - it forces the forwarding to be 5780 to 5780.
- It must be completely configurable when it comes to assigning IP addresses and DNS servers by DHCP. The C2100T does this in theory, but in practice it seems to ignore the DNS servers that I specify for this situation.
Recommendations on what device to get meeting those requirements would be much appreciated.
