There are many routers that seem to work with the new OOL speeds. It is impossible to list all of them here. As new routers show that they can handle the different speed tiers, they will be added to the list. Also, some users might find that a certain router listed here does not perform as it should. Theses routers were chosen because users on the OOL Forum have stated their speeds and were considered to be in the acceptable range for OOL.
The Wired/Wireless column indicates the capability of the router and does not relate to speed.
All potential speeds are using a Wired connection.
All "G" routers have a maximum potential wireless speed of 27mb/s. Actual speeds will vary depending on individual circumstances. It is possible to attain 25mb/s under ideal circumstances.
For full BOOST potential wireless speed a "N" router and card are needed.
All routers have 10/100mb WAN and LAN ports.
When TCP overhead is taken into consideration (a 5 to 12% overhead), these routers should provide at least 13mb on the download side for the 15/2 plan and at least 26mb on the download side for the 30/5 plan. Note: With the change in the download caps, users can see speeds up to 15mb/s + down and and on BOOST 30mb/s + down.
Routers that are capable of 30/5 Speeds also will work with the 15/2 Tier
