I need a new modem/router

I have just been upgraded to 21CN and ADSL2+. My Zyxel P660R-61C does
not like to play ball and gives dreadful sync rates. I have dropped
from 8m to 3.5 :-(

So I need a new one. Googling around there do seem to be problems with
Zyxels in general (and almost anything really). I was steered towards
Billion, but they can't handle multiple WAN addresses (I have 8).

I don't need a bult in switch and wireless would be a plus but not
essential.

TIA

Had a look at D-Link?

AAISP did some investigation into this, since they were providing the
61C as part of their pre-configured router package. I understand they
have changed to the D1 version for ADSL2+ and it's fine, I assume, since
they're switching everyone who will get a better speed over to 2+. At
least, you'll be familiar with the settings - at least those ZyXEL
haven't changed.

Earlier this year I changed from the 61C to a Billion (R2) and there's a
firewall feature I need that I can't implement as well on the Billion.

But no firewall. :-(

But it can't do all the versions of NAT that the Zyxels can. At least
the manual I read could not.

It has ACLs if that's what you mean by 'firewall'.

I am on the latest firmware and Zyxel can't be a***d to update it -
too old. Told me to buy a new one.
