Works with the new higher speed DSL, 2008-11-10
Ma Bell finally got around to upgrading the switch boxes out here- I was at the 3 mile limit for DSL. Signed up for the 1.5 M speed, only got
0.94 on a good day. They offered me 3.0 M speed for only $5 a month more and it's coming in at 2.4 M over the same 2-wire modem without doing anything on my end except enjoy it. Now when MS, Norton, etc put out updates, I can update my computers much faster. Note: DSL is in two frequency bands; only the download speed increases, the outgoing (upload) speed is still a sluggish 0.4 M
Great Router, 2008-08-24
Extremely easy setup. I was up and running in minutes. I have had no problems with it what so ever. Wired or wireless it works great.
Good Modem and router, 2008-07-24
This is a very good product. Unfortunately, I just lost one because I had left my window open and it rained and got the modem wet and shorted it out. I just bought another one, because I like it. It is easy to use and set up and I have had very little trouble with it.
Once in a great while something would happen and it would have to reset itself and you would have to wait a few minutes to get online and use the network, but other than that it was great. I had it on internet and used it to network all my home computers together both hard wired and wirelessly. I have some computers hard wired to the network and some that are connected wirelessly and they all work quite well with this router and modem.
I would heartily recommend this device to anyone who wants to simultaneously set up a home network and a DSL internet connection.
Great little combo here, 2008-06-13
What a great machine. Perfect price point and functionality. If I ever lived in a DSL only area again, I would buy this.

Mac Users Rejoice! It works perfectly. , 2008-05-05
If you have a iBook, iMac, or any other Apple computer with a Airport card, you can set up this Modem with ease, wirelessly, but don't drive yourself crazy and go it alone, call your internet provider and have them walk you through it. After 3 hours of messing with the disks and trying to install the unit using the CD's and paperwork that came with the unit, I was surfing the net after a quick 15 min call to my internet provider. You first have to plug the unit into the power supply, when the power light stops flashing, then connect the phone cord to the modem. You can then set up the unit by entering the 192.###.1.###.# number into your browser, all dictated to you via your service provider's customer support. There's a built in firewall, but once you entered the password (serial number on the back of the unit) your computer is good to go. People complain that DSL is slow but I have not run into that problem, "I'm running DSL lite (Bellsouth-AT&T) and I download 4 mb MP3's in about 15-25 seconds. Pages load up quickly, including content heavy Myspace pages."
This beats the $120 modem my provider wanted to sell me, or $75 for a modem without the wireless capabilities. And the modem is yours to keep!! Your modem can be placed anywhere as long as there is a phone jack and power cord available, and this unit does not have to ever be connected to a computer.
