Is this Broadband ADSL2 + Modem 2.0 better than Netgear Modem 3.0?

If I am correct about the modem you are asking about, these are two different types of modems. The ADSL2 is for someone with DSL Internet service which is obtained over the telephone line. The Netgear Modem 3.0 is a DOCSIS type of modem designed for broadband cable internet, as in received over a coaxial cable such as a cable TV provider utilizes. Since I don't own a cable broadband modem, I couldn't say whether it is better than the ADSL one I purchased or not.

You might want to check your set up. The router is approved by TWC as compatible. Mine has worked w/two for a few months and my problem has been intermittent timeouts. The fact that netgear has no customer support makes me rethink my purchase.

Don't know the details of your setup, but I've been using Actiontec M1000 DSL modem with my Centurylink (formally Qwest) DSL 20Mbps service for several years now. I use its NAT and port forwarding features. I have other wireless routers, so I don't use the extra, add-on wireless router capabilities of the Actiontec M1000. It is my main router between my home LAN. and the DSL WAN and the Internet.

I have the NETGEAR WNCE2001 as well, it has worked great for me. Amazon price and BestBuy price are comparable.

To Answer your question yes it does replace your 2WIRE Modem, but I would Personally stick with Netgear.

This model is version 2...you should skip the Netgear 3700 as this is an "N" device and move on to the next generation "AC" standard.

Hi Ken - Yes! It is COMBINED modem and wireless router which replaces two (2) pieces of equipment. HOWEVER... The damned thing DIED last week! I replaced it with an ATT supplied DSL Modem/Router (NetGear 7550). Setup was a breeze and if needed, there is STATE SIDE support. Stick with an ATT supplied modem/router!

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

While it will work with Century Link, ADSL2+ is limited to about 10Mbps, depending on how far your house is from the central router. If you have 12Mbps or higher service you will want a VDSL modem.

I was given this ADSL2+Router by a friend for free. It says AT&T;, manufacturer Netgear. CenturyLink gave me three items: 1) set to DHCP 2) VCI value=35 & 3) VPI value = 8. they said Netgear would need these. Netgear wouldn't work with me bcuz the SN only had 12 characters & should have 13 characters. On this equipment it gives you a site to go to for advanced device configuration. I did that and changed the applicable settings. I have Wi-Fi that works great. But my PC only connects to the internet sporadically. I can't figure it out. If anyone else can, please post the fix! But it will work with CenturyLink. Even if it is sporadic! I was given this ADSL2+Router by a friend for free. It says AT&T;, manufacturer Netgear.

To answer your question: I don't know.On personal note : This is worst modem/router i would have ever used so will never recommend it!

Netgear says it's a 3.0 USB. For what it's worth the USB slot on my router is not the blue color you mentioned.

They both support docsis 3.0 so I don't think there are any kind of differences between the two.In fact the modem was exactly the same as the one Comcast were providing last year and I had to give them the serial number so that they know this is not a rental.

I am no longer using this, but I had 20 Mbps service on CenturyLink and would get 14-20 Mbps. I think that 20 was the max it would support. Be sure you update to the latest firmware. This router has a lot of features including some advanced port forwarding. I just needed more speed than I could get with POTS and went to cable. I had some problems and leased a modem from CenturyLink, but found that the problem was in the phone wiring. This Actiontec actually worked better than the new modem.

I'm not sure what the difference is in the modem/routers. I know that the "Z" model is the newest generation.

No, it's just a router, not a modem. Depend on whether you want to have DSL (CenturyLink for example) or Cable (Cox etc), you will have to buy a DSL modem or a Cable modem. You can save some bucks buy a modem/router combo like Actiontec 300 Mbps Wireless-N ADSL Modem Router (GT784WN) (DSL) or NETGEAR N300 Wi-Fi DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem Router (C3000) (Cable). Good luck!

It depends on your preferences, but this modem router will work with Centurylink ADSL
