Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fine performance
Review: I've used this unit for 2 years and have been very satisfied with its performance. Another reviewer mentioned the need to reboot it "a couple of times per day". That has NOT been my experience. In two years of use, I have rebooted only once every six to nine months and even then I suspect the problem was with the DSL service.

I use this unit to connect 5 computers to the Internet and even with all five systems online at once, the performance is impressive.

Summary: Buggy
Review: It is easy to set up and when it works, the connection is excellent, but a couple of times per day it has to be rebooted.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Luck
Review: To be honest these units are very problematic unless you get one that is tested right there in front of you but this is the same with most of these broadband modems/routers/Wi-Fi units. If you want to see what I mean then try ordering broadband service from one of your state-owned telephone providers and ask for this service. We all witness these guys bring 3 or 4 boxes with them. I have seen one man drive away and come back twice with a load of them. Basically it is hit or miss with them so maybe renting is a good idea? No - okay here is low down if you get a working one. Setup on XP is easy as XP detects it but use the disk to see who has the latest drivers. Install. Get your ISP service setup. Start ADSL device. Login and away you go with your new 1MB connection if that is what you want. If the device is good however then it does it what it was intended to do. To be honest with these devices it is not really about the brand name but finding one that works without bugs.

1 Star if it does not work. 5 Stars if it does. 3 Stars all round with these products.
