What's great about it: Nice footprint for a combined unit
What's not so great: It doesn't work
Bought this after having trouble with my 5 year old Moto 2210 model finally gave out. Being as I had such good luck with the old Moto I wanted to stay with them and would be nice eliminating a stand alone wireless router as well. Nothing but continuous dropped sync for two days and finally gave up and returned the piece of junk for a cheaper Netgear 150 (which I'm not totally happy with due to a bit slower wifi speed between computers and game consoles for media streaming but it does work and maintains a strong maximum speed connection with no sync problems).
You will need to manually set your VPI & VCI for this thing to function correctly if you have AT&T standard DSL so if you are gonna fight it out then remember this. Hated to jump ship but reliability is king.

Review 2 for Motorola 2247-N8 ADSL 2/2+ Wireless-N Modem Gateway - Black
Uneven functionality
Customer Rating
3.0
What's great about it: Works fine as a modem.
What's not so great: Limited features
Works fine as a DSL modem in bridge mode. The router and wireless functionality is quite uneven. One the one hand, it allows for creation of multiple WiFi networks. On the other hand, the port forwarding functionality is somewhat limited, doesn't appear to have full DMZ functionality, and I couldn't get the router to pass an incoming PPTP VPN connection to a server. Also lacks a DynDNS updater client.
Needs new firmware to be anything but a mediocre consumer-grade device.

What's great about it: I don't know
What's not so great: No support.
I configured the device as instructed by the installation process and my ISP. The device will not maintain an internet connection. The DSL connection stays lit/connected but the internet connection drops for no apparent reason. Best Buy's support advice was to restart the device. That's equivalent to no support. Motorola has no support unless you have a corporate account. Your ISP will only spend a limited amount of time (if any) on a device they didn't supply. If you buy this device and have a problem don't waste your time, return it and get a different brand. I gave one star because zero wasn't an option.

What's great about it: Easy to install.
What's not so great: Expensive
I bought this modem when my NetZero modem failed. The installation was very easy-- thanks to the user-friendly CD Installation Guide. I had my internet connection up and running right away and my wireless devices synced quickly. Thank you Motorola!

What's great about it: Wonderful data management with heavy load.
What's not so great: Set up....Resets at powert outage..
Had a cisco unit along with a seperate modem. Use Vonage, and have quite a few wireless connections between phones, ipads etc. Also have 2 games systems, Vonage IP phone, and my DirecTV. With all that said, I have a 3.0M Connection, and a 512k Upload. Thats alot of info for such a slow connection, but that is all that is offered in my area. My old Cisco unit would make IP phone impossible unless network traffic was nill. Very slow all around. Swapped to this one, and love it. Data traffic management is great, and allows use of all itam at once with very few problems. Only issue is the set up is marginal at best, and if power goes out, MINE has to re set up agin. Dont know if thats a normal thing. But very happy otherwise.

What's great about it: It was small
What's not so great: It did not even start the setup
I gave the thing the benefit of the doubt and assigned a 3 to performance & value. I was disappointed after running the install process for the 4th time, in still continued to say cannot find equipment 2247-N8. I really tried to make it work, but it refused. Maybe I bought a bad unit. I returned it a purchased a NG N 300-2200. It was up and running within 15 minutes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Good security
What's not so great: Could be difficult for some to complete the connection.
Good product providing the security you need for wireless connections. You may need a little help in finding the password code for entry and knowing to convert it to readable entry. Might need a little IT knowledge.
I would recommend this to a friend!
