Probably worth a shot if you have some spare change.

We've had a few users try these modems from us and they said it works fine. We've also tested it out here at our office. Not bad for the price but than again that is my opinion only  . |

| Hey Macedon,
Great work finding the different ADSL chipsets used by various ADSL modem/routers.
I've always wanted to find out what chipset the D-link DSL-2320B uses, but so far all my research failed...care to have a crack at it?
Thanks. |

I am looking at the GUI for the D-link DSL-2320B; its exactly the same as the TP-LINK TD-8810  (different colours)
Not so sure who ripped who? |

1 edit | Are you looking at the GUI from the online emulator from Dlink's website?
If it is so, then it doesn't say at all which chipset is inside.
I think I've made my mind on my modem purchase.
Aside from the 2wire modem, the Speedstream series are known to work better on marginal lines than the Speedtouch, I will grab a Speedstream 4200 and test it myself.
The Dlink DSL-2320B is quite new, so not that many guinea pigs yet. |

3 edits |  I emailed Canadian tech support
Lets see if they`ll give some info...
--------
my best guess is they are using broadcom chip
I agree, i already told my friends to look for reasonably priced SS5200 or SS4200
i asked in Sympatico direct forum, if i can buy the modem (SS 5200) back, but the answer is no. |

| Just becareful when picking up a used SS5200, make sure it is version E242 and not E240.
With the proper firmware, you can restore the E242 to support ADSL2+ (crippled by Bell firmware).
Although the SS5200 E242 or the SS4200 don't support Annex M, I don't see Annex M supported by Bell anytime soon. So far only the Europeans and the Australians have deployed ADSL2+ Annex M. In North America, this addendum to the G992.5 protocol has seen a very slow adoption. |

TP-LINK ADSL Modem_Router Utility (.exe file)
---
This is a really cool little app.
It is very useful/helpful if you want to switch from one connection protocol to another and you don't want to "waste" your time going thru 192.168.1.1
fast, simple and effective.
==================================================
CONCLUSION:
The TP-LINK DSL modem/router is a good product (great value for your money = DSL MODEM + ROUTER). Its DMT accessible as well. Has great GUI (detailed dsl stats as well)
Cost is 30 bucks for a new unit (tax included). I was lucky to grab this unit from a whole seller. (NO I DONT SELL THIS UNIT or anything else for that matter )This is not a promo, just my opinion. I just wanted to share my experience, since there is a gap when it comes to TP-LINK in Canada.
It will perform very well if you have good (clean) line, same (or at least close to the) behaviour as SpeedTouch lines of DSL modems.
Again, this confirms that if you have bad (marginal) line, you can get more out of your line (speed wise) by using SpeedStream 5200, 4200* and/or 2wire**
--------
*(**)
i haven't tested SS 4200 or 2wire personally, but the major consensus on this forum is that they will perform better under marginal conditions.
cheers, |
