Hi! Has anyone Speed tested this device on a DSL broadband line? I am current with Centurylink and would like to get out of the monthly rental.

Yes, the speed is associated with the service you are paying for. However, after installing the Linksys X2000 wireless router, there was a noticeable increase in response of web content compared to the Zyxel Wireless router. It all depends on the quality the signal you are receiving from your ISP. The modems are simply a means of converting the DSL signal to signals that local PCs can understand.

I did the same thing. I have 1.5 Meg line from centurylink and it works fine. I tried it on a 5 meg line and it works good.

Hi Lawrence. The X2000 works very well with a DSL modem. You would love to have this.

This is a gigabit router... I seriously doubt your internet provider will outgrow this modem anytime soon... :)My old crappy router that I rented from Xfinity was a megabit router... Old technology... I'm very pleased with this router...

Jan 16, 2015 - Is anyone still having success activating and using this modem with COMCAST? I don't need more than 25 Mbps. Does Comcast have capability to "kill" this modem in the future? I'm not worried about IPv6 capability for at least 5 more years. Thanks for all replies.

Yes it works very good with DSL broadband.I connected my Netgear router with Qwest modem to be used for Roku 3 player.Channels of 1,6, and 11 are commonly recommended as they have no overlapping frequency,however, mine worked best with channel 1 connection with 145 mbps. Connection is very stableand I have had no issue whatsoever since last June.Enjoy your new Netgear router from Amazon.You must change your password from default because your next door neighbor coulduse your router signal and you are getting weaker signal accordingly.

Yes I do believe that will work for you.. It is supported by Century Link & should work just fine. Just sign in with your DSL user name & password, and you should be up & running right away.

Joe, couldn't tell you for sure if anything would be different. I went from Verizon DSL to Suddenlink and they gave me the SB5101n to use. I'm just running internet only and not phone, TV and internet. Honestly I'd just hook it up, see what happens, and enjoy the speed. If you're still in doubt, ask TW if it will work on their system. Good luck !

The LAN interface on my TD-8816 is connected to a 1GbE switch. The negotiated link speed is 100Mbps, which is >10x faster than the link speed of my ADSL service.

Like Ian, I, too, have Time Warner, but I will pass on my experience because it might help. I called TW and they actually gave me a list of compatible modems before I bought anything, and this one was one of them. But when I purchased it and the tech came to install it, I was told that TW doesn't allow customers with digital phone to have their own modem. So who do you believe--the customer service rep or the installer? Anyway, the modem is sitting in my supply closet, never used. And I can't imagine any cable company with worse customer service than TW. :)

I have Century Link DSL and have had no problems with operating Ooma. Centurylink connections can be very variable depending on your location, but even when I was having speed issues, Ooma was normally not effected.

My Cox Cable premium service is 100mbs and frequently surpasses that. The DPC3008 has had no problems at these speeds. Hope this helps.

This router does not have qos as far as I am aware. I am currently using the router and getting a fair amount of buffer bloat. I looked for any qos information for it and was unable to find any.

i bought two of this model this spring from http://amazon.com. I'm still using the first modem, and works just fine. And also you do not have to pay a rental fee. I also just purchased my own router for my new dell 1721 laptop to fit in with my dell desktop. Shop around, great deals out here. Go to amazon and they will give you a comparative price also.

Hi Jeff, to my understanding that is determined more by the level of service available in your area as far as who your Internet provider is. I was very happy with the device itself and the speed of the service in my area. The more traffic there is on the network the slower the speed.

That is complete b.s. I have been using a TM722g in the San Mateo area for over a year. I have screaming fast internet speeds via Comcast (120mbps) and no monthly equipment fees. From day one it has worked flawlessly and there have been no issues whatsoever.

Honestly I don't know how to answer your question. I just know it works great with our Century link. we went with a different internet provider so we don't need this any more.

I've had no issues with it. The tech when he installed my service tried to upsell me a newer modem saying this one was too slow. I constantly get 8 Mbps down and 5 up. And yes I have Comcast.
