Re: New Modem Router Recommendations?
I have a tp-link archer 600 router, I got from my ISP, and it does not reliably pass packets to and from the wifi and wired networks. Eventually, I will get around to replacing it.

Re: New Modem Router Recommendations?
In addition to everything Yuval said, especially about putting the modem into "bridge" mode - OpenWRT is a great choice. Alternately, I've been using a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-X to do PPPoE. The ER-X is a ~200 NIS Gigabit router with integrated switch chip. I love these little Ubiquiti devices!

Re: New Modem Router Recommendations?
Definitely the TP-Link, they have great hardware and that device works great as an xDSL modem. Furthermore, D-Link devices tend to run on outdated kernels. Put the TP-Link in bridge mode to minimize attack surface, use it just as a dumb modem, and put a proper OpenWrt box behind it.

Sadly they both do not support dd-wrt or open-wrt, it looks like no ADSL modem does these days, so that will need an extra box.
