After doing a lot of study about available options, I decided on the DGN2200 DSL modem. In short, this product is everything it promises to be.
I experienced no problems whatsoever from the moment I took the unit out of the box. Setup was easy and the product worked flawlessly from the start. The speed and coverage is impressive and it is a noticeable jump in performance compared to my previous router with 802.11g wireless. The 802.11n is a huge jump in performance and coverage and my wife "can't believe" how fast our DSL service is.

Setting it up to a wired connection works pretty easily with the set up CD. You need to know your PPPoE login and password, which you should get from your internet service provider before beginning setup.
Wireless is another story. Computer would not detect the network. I had to resort to a long call with customer support to set it up manually. Even then we had to go to numerous tries with different encryption systems to get it to work. Apparently, with my current computer we need to use WEP encryption, which makes it a g network.
The thing is pretty warm, and the connection does not time out after idle (although such a choice to time out is decribed and shown, the actual choice is not available). It has an on-off button (unlike...Read more

Works well for my apartment. Set it up with my AT&T account. Only took me a few moments to set it up though.
