Since this is saved in the modem you might have forgotten if you haven't used it in years.3. Cons1. Easy manual setup to get online2. Why the heck doesn't NDS use wpa.
Common terms are changed at random. works with qwest 5. EX: Port Forwarding is now Virtual Server, WPA Key is now WPA pre shared key. Instructions are a joke. Really nintedo get with the program. on/off button6.
lots of features4. Note I did some major research to make sure I had all info I needed.Pros1. For qwest people note these things1. Setup was easy and getting back online took about 5 minutes. 4.
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. They'll probably make you buy or lease one of thier modems. Runs hot so I suggest turning it off when not in use. I bought this because my old actiontec modem was giving me major problems after a powersurge. This craziness cause me extra time looking up how to setup wireless5. 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. set vpi to 0 and vci to 322.
make sure you have your user name and password for whatever isp you use. So you probably want to keep your old modem on hand assuming it works enough. Getting full speed 3. 4. Auto setup doesn't work (you don't really need it)2. 3. 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.
This router was so easy to set up. 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. 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. 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. Even after hours of downloading.All in all a great purchase.
Great product, mediocre documentation. Go to the website for setup instructions especially 128 bit encryption. 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.
For years, I have used a DSL modem (SpeedStream 5360) and D-Link DI-604 router, for my PPPoE account with AT&T. Login under the admin account. So I disabled the DSL Auto-connect box, and followewd the various screens. After studying the reviews on several routers, the DIR-655 was my first choice. 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. However, the wireless died a week later, and returned it. I just got a new wireless Netbook running Linux, and so shopped for a wireless router. Chose the auto-connect and it did not work; no DSL connection was found.
My next choice was the DSL-2640B (modem and wireless router combo). I used the CD to view the User Manual. I was able to get on the Internet with my Linux desktop. Rebooted the netbook and it worked.
auto this, auto that. It advertises "plug and play".after 6 hours of phone calls, its plugged in, but dont play.
