http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20673927 en Sat, 05 Dec 2009 15:56:10 EDT Sat, 05 Dec 2009 15:56:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20849783 NgtFlyer : My original modem was a Zyxel 645M. Worked fine for some 3 years until after a bad lightning storm I noticed it locked up. Resetting it wouldn't bring it back so I assumed it took a hit through the phone line. Then I switched to a Broadxent.

The one I had lasted about a year and died quietly during the night one night. I ended up reconfiguring an old Westell 6100 series modem that was originally from Bellsouth. That one has worked great since I put it into service about 2 years ago. I haven't had to reset it once.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20849783 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:07:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20751790 kmontoya : I've been through three of them in the past 4 years. Not a good track record, considering I've had to pay for two of them myself. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20751790 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 03:14:26 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20750984 anon : Mine was great for the first year or so. Then I got a PS3 and put it on the same network. I have to reset the thing every 2-3 hours. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20750984 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 22:25:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20750348 frodo123 : It's junk!
I have an LED out already and the Software is crap.
This one is only a few months old.
I got it when I upgraded to an ADSL2+ 3.0/768 line.
I'm probably going to replace it in a few weeks with a Sangoma card in a Linux router/bridge.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20750348 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 19:52:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20743591 mario44222 : Anyone know how you can login to it?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20743591 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:12:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20737096 CylonRed : np :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20737096 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:33:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20736844 anon : Oops, my bad memory!

It't the Westell modem, not Broadxent that I have.

Sorry.

Got a Verizon Broadxent from Ebay & things have been fine, margins were a bit better. Of course, YMMV.

Compared to the Telco DSL services, I think it was pretty cool that Speakeasy tech support helped me with setup, after I explained what I was doing. I can only imagine what Verizon tech support would say if said I was trying to set up a DSL modem that I got via Ebay.

Hope it works well for you.

I notice it is a Creative product which makes me instantly dislike it but...
