This is an up grade to the old one. We only have DSL in our area and have to use the older modems. I still have not got to install it but it turns on and connects to the DSL. The stand was missing as well as the start up dvd, but no problem. Once I install it will give a better report.

If you have a PC with a x64 Vista operating system -- DO NOT get this. The drivers used to communicate with the modem/router during the set-up process work with just about everything else, except the 64-bit Vista OS. (Once the wireless is setup, this OS can use the wireless, however.) The installation 'buddy' for this product is available on the actiontec website. It does a decent job for internet speeds up to 7 and probably 12 Mbps. Anything over that and you're better of spending a little more money for something more up-to-date IMO.
this little wireless router is used in the country, i can access it from as far away as five hundred feet with my laptop while working on something out in the woodlot. it has survived the electrical storms in oklahoma for several years and works well with devices here in my home. it was difficult to set up , but thats because the local provider of services doesnt.... after installation it has worked for months without failing, and simply rebooting from scratch by turning off the power resets the thing. i purchased this unit used as a back up for the one i till use, because i want the features and reliability of Actiontec. got it at a great price and its hanging next to my eight year old model thats worked 24/7 ready to carry me into the '20s.
Recieved this unit quickly and thought it might be a problem like the westel modem i had bought before, (wireless 327W15-00) Never worked on my system.Was i suprized! plugged in dsl line from unit to PC, plugged power in,turned on it ran it's own set up! No soft-ware up and running in 2 min.!I have Verizon dsl service. Now go on-line in the front room with my laptop! One of my best buys on E-bay.
