This review is from: Netopia 3347-02 ADSL2 Wireless Router (Electronics)
As others have mentioned, the product is not new(had an @bellsouth.net PPoE login for a business), but don't let that deter you. It works with no problems on AT&T in West Tennessee. Just make sure you set the correct VPI/VCI settings(VPI 8, VCI 35 for Tennessee, VPI 0 for some other states), put in your PPoE Username and Password, and you are done.
Just to be safe, it would probably be a good idea to factory reset the modem as soon as you get it, no telling what other settings may be lurking in there.
This modem was used to replace a 2Wire 2700HG that was, well, terrible(Unstable, forgets wireless password, drops packets under light wireless usage). I had been using the Qwest model 3347 for the past two years before moving back to Tennessee, so replacing the 2Wire with this was a no-brainer. I replaced the 2Wire at my brother's house with the 3347 from Amazon and it solved his issues as well. I have since ordered another two units for future use/spares...Read more

Good DSL router missing only USB port,

This is a good router for the money, for $20 you get a DSL Modem plus router with WIFI & 4 Lan ports.
my unit came used with scratches on the front part but no biggie.
Software was up to date but I did have to reset the VPI/VCI from VPI 8 VCI 35 to VPI 0 VCI 35 I am in AT&T Texas
This unit actually boosted my signal from 768kb to 1.4Mb almost twice the speed compared to my previous DSL Modem efficient Speedstream 5660 also the WIFI reach is a lot better.
The two cons I could see
1 unit is missing a USB port but for twenty bucks ok with me.
2 the wireless security encryption WPA WPA2 sould have all AES TKIP SKA it doesn't
I have a good bridged wireless router WRT54G-TM running DD-WRT with only one option WPA PSK and looks like I can't use it unless I use WEP but that's a no no.
Now if you have a good running router, still get this router as a backup just in case.

The confusing thing about this modem is that it has a different firmware depending on who is your DSL provider and location. I have AT&T from Los Angeles. The Netopia modem I purchased was from Florida. So the firmware on it was made for the Florida area. I was on the phone with AT&T for about 2 hours before AT&T figured out it was the wrong firmware. AT&T in Los Angeles sells this modem for $100 while I bought it for $20.00. Please note that the AT&T from the east coast has a different Firmware then AT&T from the west coast. I did call Netopia, who has excellent customer service. They stated that all the Netopia modem have the same hardware, but different firmwares. Netopia customer service recommends to buy the modem from the correct area, over updating the firmware yourself. One thing I really like about this modem is that I can send out 4 different wireless signals with different names.
