I have the trimode/dualband Dlink DI774 router, which supports A, B, and G.
It does not include an ADSL modem, but I wouldn't want that anyway. Next
year I might switch to cable, and then my built-in modem becomes useless.
I use the A network almost exclusively, and have no complaints about it.
YMMV - the walls in my condo do not contains lots of metal, the floors do
not contain a rebar mesh. The B/G network support works equally well. I have
an AG650 A/B/G client card, which I take out to hotspots that have B or G
nets, and then bring back home to my A net, and all works flawlessly.
The only issues I have with Dlink are:
1. Exceedingly poor documentation.
2. Getting technical information from support is like trying to give a
buzzcut to a badger with a bandsaw - altogether, a frustrating experience.
3. There appear to be PPOE protocol timing issues on the router, so far
unfixed by any upgrade level. A PPOE session recovery can thrash, requiring
me to manually reconnect after letting the dust settle. Fortunately, it does
not happen often enough to really irritate me. Again, YMMV.
A/B/G is probably overkill for what you want, but even if you get a purely
A router, I still suggest getting an A/B/G client card so that you can use
the one card at home and abroad. Pretty much any Dlink product supporting
802.11a uses an Atheros chipset. I recommend Atheros for 802.11a - they were
designing and manufacturing for this standard before anyone else, and their
implementation is regarded as rock-solid.
