Gautier, MS | You might try eBay. Westell, Netopia, 2 Wire (Well, the newer models) are good brands imo. I would make Netopia your best bet. Westells don't seem to tolerate thunderstorms so well, even distant ones. |

My westell is rock solid in thunderstorms.

I got a Netopia 2241N on Ebay about a month ago for $15. It was packaged for Bellsouth and had never been used. It came complete with cables, filters, etc. It is a lot more stable than the Westell 6100. Rarely loses sync at all...even during storms.

I also use to have a Westell 6100. I recently changed to the Netopia 2241N. The Westell really suck doing thunderstorms, while the Netopia works great thunder, lightening, rain and shine.

Just a note I looked it up on ebay and it says for ADSL2 and I don't think thats what I have. It says ADSL Lite and adsl2 and adsl2+ is this a different model? it says its made by Motorola Netopia 2241N-VGx ADSL2+ Gateway Firewall.
Did i look up the wrong one? |

I was wondering though my copper is under ground would thuderstorms affect the modem?
And do you or anyone else know about the Netopia 300? |

Just kidding!
I don't know if AT&T supports the Netopia 300 or not. It would not hurt to call AT&T and ask.

1 edit | LOL that is some funny reviews thanks..
According to this review it says this model :
Netopia 3347
It is currently available through BellSouth for Business Class customers only.
Does this mean I cannot use this router for a residential ADSL? |

Thanks again. |

You just can't get official support via the residential helpdesk. |
