I have only owned this modem for a couple of days and already I'm experiencing problems with it. It drops the connection every once in a while, and I am unable to use the phone at the same time as surfing.
Those are only the major problems, I am also unable to access the admin interface, and it also has to be rebooted after a couple of hours of use.

The ability to set it as a normal modem would be nice. That would solve most of the problems with the firewall. And you can do that, or at least it says on the box. When you select the modem option, it changes. But then you cannot access the modem, and you cannot use it to browse ... more
I have only owned this modem for a couple of days and already I'm experiencing problems with it. It drops the connection every once in a while, and I am unable to use the phone at the same time as surfing.
Those are only the major problems, I am also unable to access the admin interface, and it also has to be rebooted after a couple of hours of use.
Thinking of running P2P applications? Think again. The modem only allows you to select from a few pre-defined programs in it's firewall rules, many of which no longer exist. Trying to set custom rules results in an error message saying how the IP address is in an incorrect format.
The ability to set it as a normal modem would be nice. That would solve most of the problems with the firewall. And you can do that, or at least it says on the box. When you select the modem option, it changes. But then you cannot access the modem, and you cannot use it to browse the internet. The only way around it is to reset the modem and start all over again.
At least the user interface is helpful. You can configure it to your ISP in under a minute. But that's about all the positive comments I can think of.
I thought that maybe this was an isolated case, and that the product. A quick search proved me wrong.
In summary, I would not recommend this product to anybody, and regret not looking further than the shop's website for comments before I purchased
Advantages: The Speed and relibility of this is fansastic Disadvantages: None
