| [Modem] Cheap replacement for 2wire 2701hg-b My friend's modem just broke. (Solid red light on Power indicator) What is the cheap replacement for ADSL gateway? Right now Im looking at cheap Motorola 3347 for $40. Will it will work with dry-loop dsl service? |

yes.
3346n, 3347-02 or 3347nwg, ss4100, will all work.
I have several 3347-02 with 7.8.4r4 firmware for $20. |

I think the solid red power light means that the power supply needs to be replaced--the modem is still good. You could go to a local electronics retailer and get an equivalent ac adapter. Or perhaps obtain a used 2wire ac adapter (make sure it is the correct one) from an online auction. I think you can pick up a replacement genuine ac adapter for less than $10 or a replacement 2701hg-b with power adapter for $20 on an unnamed online auction site.
That may be cheaper and easier than replacing the unit. I found that the 2701 was easier to set up--that being said, I am using a Motorola 3347 unit presently (the set up does not flow as logically as the 2wire gateways do).
Hope this helps. |

| The Motorola/Netopia 3347 has many configuration options; fortunately, most of these can be left at the default settings for home use. |
