What's great about it: Performance was good
What's not so great: Its a little pricey but good product
The product was bought out of neccesity because my other product went dead. I went out to Best Buy at the last minute and purchased what was on the shelf. It served its purpose but if I had the patience, I would have done more research and bought something else online.

What's great about it: easy to install...i thought
What's not so great: goes offline at least once a week and has to be reset
Once our ATT given modem, that we used with no problems for 5 years, went kaput we decided to buy one off the shelf so we headed to BB. The sales clerk was knowledgable and told us this was the unit for us. Within a week of installing, we lost our wireless connection so I called their customer service. He walked me through a bunch of setting changes that he said, if not done, could cause it to work improperly (the manual said nothing about this). It worked for about a week, then out. My husband learned that by restarting the modem or the computer, it would sometimes fix itself so we resorted to that since we don't have extra hours in the day to sit on the phone with cust serv. This got so tiriing, that I did call again and they "fixed" it by resetting the modem. Problems continued to the point of multiple times a day losing the internet connection, so I called again. After another hour of "testing", they promised me a replacement and said to expect an email-that I NEVER received so I called back and had to walk through the whole "testing" thing AGAIN. This time it worked so they denied it was a hardware issue and now refuse to replace the product and stated they would call back in a few days to see if it was working. Side note is that the warrantry for free customer service is expiring before that...shysters!

What's great about it: Excellent range on WiFi
What's not so great: I still must use DSL :( But nothing really!
After lightning took out our Netgear from AT&T, I replaced it with an Actiontec DSL router because it was cheaper. Well, after the gas to take it back and get this one, I should have just got this router 1st.
Fired right up, put my name and password for AT&T and BAM! Well... Fill out some of AT&T's stuff... and BAM! Internet!
Hasn't given me a problem at all.

What's great about it: Easy to install, works with frontier internet
What's not so great: Not sure if I'm getting "N" Speed
After a year of frustration with my Frontier Westell 7500 modem/router I had enough. I mainly purchased this modem in hopes of improving my in home signal strength, and also to allow for better quality in home streaming, I was not disappointed.
I have tried other modems from Actiontec that would not work with Frontier, this one however after following instructions was up and running in under 10 minutes.
The routers range is excellent, I have almost 100% signal strength now to all areas of my home, two story. Also seem to be getting slightly increased speed out of it, although its only about .5 its a boost regardless.
No more NAT issues with multiple XBOX's in the house, would have given it 5 stars but for some reason my Panasonic blu ray says I am receiving a G signal, this need further investigation.

What's great about it: Ease of installation. Compatability, speed.
What's not so great: Have not found a problem yet
The sales rep gave me not the most expensive router but the router for what my needs were. Price is good all though I did not want to spend over $60.00 and it cost $90.00 but well worth it.

What's great about it: Great WiFi range in the house.
What's not so great: No 5Ghz
I bought this to replace a Netgear WNDR3700 router and my original Westell DSL modem. Setup was easy, and I was pleasantly surprised by the speed and the range. Even though this modem doesn't have a 5GHz band, the speed is still plenty fast enough for video streaming.

What's great about it: all in one, 4 ethernet ports for older machines,
What's not so great: it's dropping connections at least every hour and sometimes about every 10 minutes
took me a while to figure it out, at first I thought our phones were having some sort of problem with WiFi but then I noticed that my notebook would drop connection while skyping. turns out this unit randomely drops connection for no apparent reason, even the stock 2wire from AT&T didn't do that. I attempted to re-flash the firm ware and also had the modem connect via mac addy but nothing is helping. I won't be buying this unit again.

This product was returned for credit because I couldn't use it.
Advertized as an "all in one" product, there was no way to connect with our cable service. The only "in" port on the device is for a land line. Completely useless to me.

Installed for 2 months now, no issues. Had some minor issues installing software, called the customer service number in the box, they walked me through installation and I quickly realized it was my fault. Customer service was great. I only use WIFI for two laptops (one windows based and on MAC), an IPAD and our Blueray payer it works great on all four units. We have a simple 1 story home, I have it set up in the kitchen near the phone and we have no issues with connections. 3 years of DSL issues with AT&T are now resolved; appears their 2WIRE model was a piece of garbage. For $100 I'm happy and recommend.
