I have had two of these and they work well. Setup is amazingly fast. With the included CD and Windows, it sets itself up, determining all of the usual parameters for ADSL use. You just need the telco user name and password (plus static IP if you are using one). Using a separate ADSL modem allows the use of the more powerful and versatile routers in the network, a decided plus over the telco modems.

My wife accompanied me to Best Buy to look at the variety of cases for her new iPhone 5S. She found the Speck case in a floral design that she liked, and we got it. She has found that the case furnishes good protection for the iphone in her large purse, as well as around the house. In short, she likes the looks, and I like the protection for the phone.

This 'half-case' seems to protect my iPhone 5S well, together with an on-belt holster I purchased to hold it. It allows much freedom of use compared to the full-case Otter box with plastic holster. I appreciate that it is lighter and less bulky than the older models. The iphone has already survived a couple of drops without damage!

 Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Nintendo Wii
Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Nintendo Wii
They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

We bought this disk for our grandson, who spent all the time we allotted playing the games. The games are technically challenging, but not too difficult. Requires thoughtful planning and quick responses to master, probably good to develop technical skills. We found nothing objectionable in the games.

Along the way, he forms indelible bonds with classmates Ron Weasely (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), who help him as he tries to defeat the evil wizard Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).

This collection of all the Harry Potter movies is really good, as they are Blu-ray and in high definition. My grandson spent a month with us during summer break, and we watched all of them. He found them most enjoyable, and so did we (his grandparents). For those Harry Potter fans, this set is a must have, and saves $$ over buying each movie separately.

does it connect with telephone line?

do you connect the modem with a telephone line
Yes, the ADSL signal is transmitted over the telephone line. Of course, you need a telco internet service provider (ISP). In addition, you will have to have filters on the lines going to phones (or FAX) to keep the hiss of the DSL signal out of the phone. Or the telco can install special circuitry in the house box to split the DSL from the phone signal, and use separate lines into the house.

Do I have to have an Internet provider?
Yes, the ADSL signal is transmitted to your residence over a regular phone line by the telco ISP. No ISP = no DSL.

I this device wireless?

No, this is only a ADSL modem. For wireless, you will need a router with wireless capability, or a computer with wireless (e.g. Mac).

My ISP (CenturyLink) is telling me that this modem will not support or run with 25mbps DSL and I will have to use their modem, is this true?

ISP tells me that the Netgear ADSL+2 will not work with 25 Mbps internet and I will have to use their modem/router combo. Is this true or will I be able to utilize my Netgear?
I can't answer this question. I don't anywhere close to where such ISP speeds are available. But I am envious. Obviously the circuits in such a high speed modem will be put to the test.
My best advice is to call Netgear tech support or check out their forum(s).

Have you considered how you will connect your modem and router for such speeds?

I need to replace my cable modem with a docsis with capability of doing 16X4 channel bonding. Which would you advise?

Cindy, the Netgear ADSL2+ modem is for DSL, and it will not work with cable. You must use a cable modem for this. Top of the line cable modems will support docsis (it's the standard now) and generally will allow bonding of multiple channels for more speed. If you don't know what all this means, better check out websites that can furnish advice to you. Good luck.

Can I use this Modem to replace A Westell 6100G ADSL2+?

Indeed, YES. I did replace the very same modem that you mention with this model of the Netgear. Keep in mind that the Westel 6100G is an older model. In fact, one can replace any ADSL modem with any other as far as function is concerned. However, some telco's use the previous modem's MAC address as verification of a legitimate user, so you may have to get tech support to reset their database with your new modem's MAC address.

Does this work with 50/5mbps internet speed?

I don't know for certain, yet I assume it can handle it. I assume that 50/5mbps means that one will get a maximum of 50 mbps download and 5 mbps upload. Some modems are 'capped' at telco maximums, others are not. I recommend checking with Netgear technical support before buying.

Does this modem work with Frontier

I have a Frontier modem Netgear Model B90-755044-15, Which is very slow, 1.50 speed at its best.
Would this model increase my speed?
Thank you for a reply.
No, I don't think so. Speed is rarely dependent upon the modem; rather, it is mostly dependent upon the quality of the line bringing in the ADSL signal AND the number of users on the switch or router at the telco office. Yet, modems can be damaged by voltage surges as well as overheating in poorly ventilated areas. If in doubt, try another modem. The Netgear modem is inexpensive enough to keep on hand as a spare, but you will need a router with it.
