Solid Modem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As rated is very easy to setup. For me it was about 5 minutes. All my login information was automatically found. Hoped it would help my gaming after using an older Actiontec. Actually, I have noticed little if any difference. Still glad I purchased a new modem anyway.

Very Easy set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am so happy with my purchase of the modem. It was so easy to set up, even my very NON-tech-savvy hubby could set it up without my help.

No other option
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought my old router modem might be slowing things down and so went to Best Buy to talk to the people who know of these matters. They suggested to replace my router modem. They only had one option for purchase at the store. I bought the new router modem and it does not perform any differently than the old one.

Good store, bad product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The guys at Best Buy were great. My complaints are not with Best Buy. The Century Link router, however, is awful. This is the third identical router I've installed in less than a year. They just keep failing. And failing, and failing. I even use a uninterruptable power supply that provides both surge protection and line conditioning for both the power and the phone connection for the router and other components. Fortunately, I had purchased the $14.95 Best Buy replacement plan with this router, so replacement was a snap. It's just an aggravation that I have to do it. Century Link, of course, has made sure this electronic nightmare is the only router that works with this service. The sales people at both Best Buy AND at the Century Link store are aware that this is a bad, failure-prone product -- they're just the ones who have to keep selling it. Apparently, "Century Link" is a reference to the 19th century, not the 21st. Based on my experience with this product, I can't recommend Best Buy (and the protection plan) enough. Just be smart and use an internet provider other than Century Link.

good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.as not only the modem with built in router but 2 filters for the regular land line phones for use with Centurylink or other DSL setups. It was nice to set up and simple. Buying at Best Buy negated the shipping cost verses buying direct from CenturylInk

Excellent wireless coverage and reliable service
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently upgraded my bandwidth and was required to switch out my modem to one that is VDSL2 compatible. Options being limited I settled on this Century Link branded Actiontec model. Configuration installation was about on par for any other modem and once connected configuring it was a snap. I've worked in the IT industry for over two decades so I can appreciate some of the more advanced features offered such as MAC filtering and QoS policies. Having used this modem for a few weeks now I'm quite happy with it's performance and the wireless coverage it offers in my small home.

Works as expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation was straight forward and the product works as expected. The wireless router works very reliably. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that for the first few days it gave off a really bad plastic burning smell.

Not working correctly-maybe
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I seem to have issues connecting to the internet and after hours on the phone with both the internet provider and the laptop mfg., I am left to believe it is a faulty router. I am going to exchange it and see if that is the issue.

Exact modem as Century Link provides
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Modem was same as Century Link provided. Easy installation. Much quicker to purchase from Best Buy than to deal with Century Link.
