this modem work great . installation be easy . just connect thing in the order suggest and wah-la all work great . I have this out in my garage in a home entertainment panel box . the modem route through a apple airport and a cisco sg100d-08 gigabit switcher . all 5 computer , hp printer , 2 xbox , tv , Directv , and blu-ray player all access the internet without any problem . Modem run 24\/7 unless power go out . be go on 2 month now without a hitch . would highly recommend . if the unit be in house some people may not like the brightness of the blue lead light but since mine be in the garage it do not bother I . I only say something because when I come home at night and open the garage I can see the blue lead light from 50 foot away .
