Excellent Product - But needs more detailed instructions
Works great. Does not run hot. Using it for almost a week. Came with a 2 page booklet with steps for configuring it major ISPs like AT&T, Verizon. Had to search the internet for steps to configure it in bridged mode with my router. Wish instructions for configuring into bridged mode were given in the user manual. Basically, you have to perform the following steps: 1. Auto-Configure the modem with your ISP by directly connecting the modem to your computer. Follow the instructions given in the booklet/user manual/ISP letter to enter the PPPoE username & password. 2. After configuration is complete, confirm that you are connected to the internet. 3. Click 'Advanced Setup' on the Main Menu. 4. Turn off DHCP Server on the 'DHCP Settings' page. Click Apply. 5. Go to 'WAN IP Address' page and click Yes on the warning. Select RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging. Click Apply. 6. The Internet light on the modem will turn off and always remain off in bridged mode. 7. Remove cable from computer and plug into WAN port of your Router. 8. In your router settings enter the PPPoE username & password. Follow instructions in your router's user manual to enable DHCP on your router. You should now be connected to the Internet using your modem & router in bridged mode.
