Most helpful customer reviews 35 of 36 people found the following review helpful. Masterpiece, but lacks a few small features and G. Shady is a masterpiece. Loaded with features, elegant and very easy to use package. I got it, it connected and logged into the web management. The first thing I did was to the latest firmware and that was a very smooth operation that lasted less than five minutes to apply, then set it to automatically figure out my DSL connection and I clicked yes, but it was always so do I and went into the configuration manually. Unlike some other routers, a router is not necessary to restart the new settings which is a very good plus applicable. I was up and running in minutes. Then I started exploring the possibilities and found many of them. The wireless access point can be configured to b, g or b and g (default) support, the only downside is that you must manually select a channel. I think there must be better to skip the clearest channel automatically Other elements of the network of registries containing the flags to enable / disable logging certain events such as denial of service attacks or attempted access to blocked sites. Advanced Lock site that eliminates the need for a proxy server, you can activate by time or full-time or disable it. You can also exclude some trusted clients of the cuts. Firewall is also a nice feature, and can be programmed to activate and deactivate all the time. You can also send items in a certain direction. The downside is that u need an SMTP server, I believe the router should have been alone. You can also deigned the router and the LAN and WAN through the diagnostics page, set static routes, enable remote management of the router through the WAN, and my favorite of all time of service: the router has an integrated DynDNS client if u have a desire to have a dynamic IP hostname fixed! Finally, you can backup and restore settings for u do not have to go through all the settings again if you had to reset ur router! Actually, I think it's worth the money paid and a few drawbacks I mentioned are no big deal at all, and the advantages outweigth now, if you want to save money, save desk space and a 5 - to -1 for device all your needs (ADSL modem, advanced router Ethernet connection, wireless access point and firewall), then go for it! I'm glad I bought! Dec. 12 people found this review helpful. An all in an excellent device for the average user (s). Man W. Chow Installation was not hard - much harder than installing the software, AT & T got on the line to a fictitious account, addresses, etc. If you provide software such as MS Office installed, for example, you can certainly do this . It takes about 15 minutes and you will be guided through each step of the road. Reliability is excellent. In almost one year of constant use, left on almost constantly, this modem never dropped. DSL router modems are essentially little computers, and this is well built, both in terms of physical architecture and software. My connection is a low cost, about $ 13 per month through ATT, and is limited to 75kbps. I'm constantly getting download speeds of between 56-76kbps. I am convinced that if I have a faster connection, which would accordingly have been better. Heat distribution is excellent. I do not know why some argue that this modem easily overheat, but I remember in Los Angeles, where the temperature often reaches inside in the 90 years that I rely on them almost constantly ... and keep in mind that I'm not the materials, which leave little stand (improves heat dissipation) for about 10 months (I've made in parentheses in the if I were to save space). It has never overheated. The signal strength is great. I run two laptops from the wireless connection. No problem. Auto Mobile recognize and shaking hands almost immediately. In rare cases, I turn it off after it takes a.
