Need recommendation: TP-Link TD-W8961ND or TD-W8968?

Post by khealou »

Hello there,
I'm getting dropouts very often with my current router. Other routers I've tested seem to work fine, no dropouts at all, so I guess there is a problem with my router it can't maintain the ADSL signal well and thus need to be changed.
I'd like to have your recommendations for which of these two routers is best to buy :

TP-Link TD-W8961ND v3.0

TP-Link TD-W8968 v2.0
http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TD-W8968

Unfortunately I only found these two in my area and I need to get one of them very soon for my works. The second one has USB and 3G features which I don't actually need, apart from that, they seem very similar in their functionality, they even use the same chipset brand (a Ralink chipset, not sure if it's a good quality chipset or not, compared to Broadcom or Trendship....).
I don't need anything fancy, no usb or anything, just something rock solid reliable and fast. Advise me please!

If you need something super-stable, why not just use the ISP modem in bridge mode and then use any regular router? This should give you the stability you want.
