Re: Buying a DSL modem?
The one linked on Best Buy seems to be getting very mixed reviews. Is that currently the best 'barebones' model you can get? |

| The Speedstream 4100 is the current modem only option available from at@t. It is much better than the early Speedstreem and Westell. It does PPPoE and has a slew of line and connection information on the modem, it also handles file transfers better than the older models. As far as a replacement for a n 8 year old modem it is much better than what you have. But it is basically just a DSL modem. Yes the older modem also do have a history of going bad eventually.
If you sign up for a contract or bundled service you might be able to get the modem "free" after a rebate. |

I can't speak for everyone, a member here (Koma) told me about it, & at first i had some 'minor problems with it, but once got all the settings correct haven't had any problems with the ATT/2 WIRE GATEWAY, others rec a different brand, (Linksys ,more popular brand name) i tried it but was un happy with it,so exchanged for this one,

Flippant, so AT&T is no longer offering the free 5100 B??, heck i have 3 of them things all in their box's gonna have to look just out of curiosity to see what the 4100 is like?
