1.0 out of 5 stars 2Wire 2701HG-B is unreliable in wireless mode, September 29, 2009

This review is from: 2Wire 2700HG-B DSL Modem Router Wireless (Electronics)

AT&T DSL service only supports and sells this wireless router (wired only isn't offered) for new installations. The ethernet seems to work OK, but the wireless is unreliable. Downloads are problematic -- a 760 MB file may take minutes to over an hour or die with DSL service one below Elite. AT&T support was required to configure wireless with WPA. The wireless worked fine the first few days, but lately internet sessions would drop without warning. Even worst, one internet session supported, a second usually isn't -- you get complaint about URL does not exist. Connection to URLs is slow -- about a minute. Sometimes, restarting solves this, but it's a real pain. The distance between the router and laptop is about 60 feet, and the wireless setting is set for 400 mw (which is the maximum). Other wired and wireless routers I had never had this problem. When I have the time I'll try a different manufacturer for wired with wireless router. 2Wire doesn't have support wrt to setup software for Windows 7 OS same for AT&T setup -- you must http to the default gateway address for setup. The router is a piece of junk, and I paid over $[...] ($[...] + postage & handling). Windows 8 browser is very slow over wireless. Mozilla 5.0 is faster and more reliable.

This 2Wire wireless modem did not come with any needed wires luckily I was just replacing an old modem and already had the needed cords. Other than that my order came 3 days after ordering in great shape. No software came with it and is not needed. I plugged it into my computer and it went right to the 2Wire site and the site walked me through the needed steps to install other computers to my network using 2Wire adapters. This company KikaEnterprises though Amazon has the lowest prices on used and refurbished 2Wire wireless modems I have found. I would have had to pay 90.00 new at the brick stores. I have this modem upstairs in my apartment the grandkids each have an adapter on their computers downstairs in my son's apartment and it is working flawlessly.

If you have a iBook, iMac, or any other Apple computer with a Airport card, you can set up this Modem with ease, wirelessly, but don't drive yourself crazy and go it alone, call your internet provider and have them walk you through it. After 3 hours of messing with the disks and trying to install the unit using the CD's and paperwork that came with the unit, I was surfing the net after a quick 15 min call to my internet provider. You first have to plug the unit into the power supply, when the power light stops flashing, then connect the phone cord to the modem. You can then set up the unit by entering the 192.###.1.###.# number into your browser, all dictated to you via your service provider's customer support. There's a built in firewall, but once you entered the password (serial number on the back of the unit) your computer is good to go. People complain that DSL is slow but I have not run into that problem, "I'm running DSL lite (Bellsouth-AT&T) and I download 4 mb MP3's in about 15-25 seconds. Pages load up quickly, including content heavy Myspace pages."
This beats the $120 modem my provider wanted to sell me, or $75 for a modem without the wireless capabilities. And the modem is yours to keep!! Your modem can be placed anywhere as long as there is a phone jack and power cord available, and this unit does not have to ever be connected to a computer.
