I bought this router to use with my AT&T DSL line.
I have had Cayman and 2Wire routers for years with no trouble
This router gives me constant greif...Particularly the DHCP Server.
The DHCP server dishes out IPs (lease period 3 min).
and leaves the IPs hung and unusable when the user logs out of windows.
Better yet, there is nothing in the firmware to reclaim a hung IP !
I am constantly having to tinker with this router to keep it working
Do yourself a BIG favor and buy a linksys or 2wire router!
Obsolete firmware!!,

The unit was OK and the vendor support was quite good, however the item sold by the Amazon vendor was so old, that it could not be brought up to date. Intermediate versions needed to do this were not available from the vendor, Netopia, now Motorola anymore!! Do not buy from this Amazon vendor.
