First of all I wanted you to know that this is a great modem/router. Before I had a modem and a router (I have three computers hooked up in the house). My old modem finally gave out and I wanted to try this one since it had the router built in. The biggest problem was it wouldn't connect to the internet and I couldn't figure it out. So I called customer service and was told that you had to get a VIC and a VPI number and that could only be obtained from the internet service provider (AT&T) but it wouldn't be a problem to get it. Let me tell you the internet provider doesn't want to give it out......that way you have to buy your modems from them. After hashing it out with them for about fifteen minutes and threatening to drop their service and talk to their supervisor they gave it to me. THen it was just a matter of typing in the numbers and the modem worked perfectly.
So be prepared for a little hassle if you want to buy this product. I haven't tried any other modems so I can't tell you if they are as difficult.
I wish dlink had included an installation cd as well.......instead all they do is give you a manual on a cd but after reading 68 pages you still don't know how to fix your problems....
All in all though I really do like this product......even with the hook up problems. It is so much nicer to have a modem and a router in one and looks much neater. Also my computers are running faster.....that shows the old modem was really on it's last leg. Get more detail about
