Can do wep, wpa, wpa -tpk and some other security and mix them so you don't have to donwgrade your security just play your Nintendo DS online. make sure you have your user name and password for whatever isp you use. Note I did some major research to make sure I had all info I needed.Pros1. lots of features4. For qwest people note these things1. 4. works with qwest 5. Instructions are a joke.
EX: Port Forwarding is now Virtual Server, WPA Key is now WPA pre shared key. I bought this because my old actiontec modem was giving me major problems after a powersurge. Why the heck doesn't NDS use wpa. 4. Getting full speed 3. 3. Really nintedo get with the program. Setup was easy and getting back online took about 5 minutes.
set vpi to 0 and vci to 322. They'll probably make you buy or lease one of thier modems. This craziness cause me extra time looking up how to setup wireless5. Common terms are changed at random. Auto setup doesn't work (you don't really need it)2.
So you probably want to keep your old modem on hand assuming it works enough. Qwest probably won't help you if you tell them you are using this modem. probably want to copy all the ports you are forwarding and mac addresses you are allow before you switch modems. Since this is saved in the modem you might have forgotten if you haven't used it in years.3. Easy manual setup to get online2.
Wireless setup took 30 minutes because of lack of instructions all in all a great dsl modem and cheaper than buy a over priced modem from qwest. Runs hot so I suggest turning it off when not in use. on/off button6. Cons1.
Was able to use my old SSID and password so I didn't need to change anything on my other computers.It does run a little warmer that the 2WIRE modem I had before but it works so much better and I noticed a speed increase too. This router was so easy to set up. Even after hours of downloading.All in all a great purchase. I do have it placed vertically so it should get more than enough ventilation.After using it for a couple days though it seems to run cooler now. I have AT&T DSL and I just read the quick setup guide and in minutes I was online. Setting up the wireless was easy too.
To talk to the modem from your PC the ID and PW are both 'admin'.It's been working fine and I'm pleased for the price. Great product, mediocre documentation. Go to the website for setup instructions especially 128 bit encryption.
I was able to get on the Internet with my Linux desktop. However, the wireless died a week later, and returned it. Chose the auto-connect and it did not work; no DSL connection was found. I used the CD to view the User Manual.
For years, I have used a DSL modem (SpeedStream 5360) and D-Link DI-604 router, for my PPPoE account with AT&T. The final step was to setup the wireless in the router (first) in the netbook (second) using the same security autentication: shared (WEP 128-bit key) using 13 ascii password. So I disabled the DSL Auto-connect box, and followewd the various screens. I just got a new wireless Netbook running Linux, and so shopped for a wireless router.
Login under the admin account. Rebooted the netbook and it worked. After studying the reviews on several routers, the DIR-655 was my first choice. My next choice was the DSL-2640B (modem and wireless router combo).
It advertises "plug and play".after 6 hours of phone calls, its plugged in, but dont play. auto this, auto that.
