Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)bought this one to replace Westell DSL modem (used 6 years), along with netgear wired router
setup is easy, it comes with Verizon DSL settings, choose it, and get online in 10 minutes
the unit runs cool, and doesn't use up much power like 2 units
internet is a bit faster than previous units
there's some reason I don't give 5 stars:
1. it doesn't support dynamic DDNS (dyndns, no-ip), to make it work, you must have a dedicated computer to have it running
2. kinda buggy port forwarding setup (unable to remove it if you make mistake, requires factory reset
3. no setting backup/restore options: that you have to start all over after fw upgrade or factory reset
4. site blocking doesn't have "all computers" option, that I have to setup blocking on individual computers, big hassle! (I have to put in same setting on 6 computers!!! and I have nearly 100 sites to be blocked)
update: it doesn't work with slingbox streaming over internet (firewall issue), you must purchase a separate router (wired or wireless), go to advanced, set DSL mode to RPC bridging mode, use any LAN port to router's WAN port, and setup PPPoE in the router
after that, internet streaming works like charm
