Re: Qwest DSL Modem
Sucks, meaning not what I was used to before when I used Cable. You've already mentioned short wireless range. I also wanted a web interface that was more straight forward. All the threads I had to read through to get port forwarding to work is testament to bad design on Actiontec's part. I know I'm not going to be going in it when I have it all set up, but right now, I know I don't have it all set up. What took me minutes to port-forward, QoS, MAC filtering, etc on my wireless router, I still don't understand on Actiontec's modem. I still have no idea how to block the internet from the web interface and telnet. Even with the supposed "firewall" on, it wasn't blocked. I'm sure that has already been answered on this board, but I have yet to find it. I don't disagree when you say as a modem, it works great. I'm sure it does it's job well (it's what I am currently using), but it doesn't suit what I am looking for ... wireless with an optional repeater addon capability, 4 port switch, an easy and simple interface.
Anyway, the discussion seems to be going well. I'd like to hear what everybody else says. Thanks to all that replied. |
