Re: Qwest DSL Modem
Please elaborate on the work "Sucks". While I find the actiontec's wireless capability lacking. Especially in range and stability, I think as a modem, with the most recent firmware, it is very stable and does a good job.
I use a Linksys wrt54gs wireless/4 port router after the actiontec. This takes care of my 4 wired computers and my 2 wireless. The wireless in the linksys is much better.
As recommended, you could go with a cisco 678. Some people loose quite a bit of upload bandwidth using the cisco. It's a hit or miss situation. There are quite a list of other modems available that work on qwest. I believe this forum has a listing of all of them. Basically though, those who aren't hard core cisco and nothing else will work, find the actiontec gt701 quite acceptable.
Let us know what about the gt701 you think sucks and maybe we can see if it's just a setting or two that can be changed. Don't mention wireless issues because we all agree that wireless sucks on it and anyone really interested in wireless and home networks usually add a wireless router, e.g. linksys, Netgear, D-Link to their setup.
