This modem and router combo features a full-rate ADSL 2/2+ modem, a 4-port Ethernet switch and a dual-antenna wireless-N router in one unit for a wide range of high-speed connection options.
I am a fairly technical guy after being my own tech support for many years. However, the last router I purchased (not Actiontec) was extremely difficult to install. I also found out that I could not reach the speeds offered by my internet provider because my router was the lowest common denominator...thereby limiting the speed.
The "Wireless N" DSL modem that I purchased last week was simple to install and has increased my DSL speed beyond my expectations. I rarely write reviews...this one was a "no brainier".
I would not consider any other brand of modem.
Life is Good!
What's great about it: Easy to install and screaming fast!!!
