5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfect with AT&T DSL after 5min call to AT&T, April 17, 2009

Works perfect with my AT&T DSL. Just had to call AT&T to get the internet settings and that's it.

4.0 out of 5 stars 1/2 hour from opening the box to bridging to my router, October 10, 2009

The Trendnet TDM-C400 is unique in that setup can be anywhere from totally automatic to completely manual - A joy to use for noobs and geeks alike.

All I did was use the quick config to set up the bridging to my router (setting it up as a passthrough) and then set up my router to do the DSL login, disable the modem's DHCP server and that was that. The reason I bridged the modem to my router is because my network was already set up and I didn't want to have to set it up all over again, or I would've just used the DHCP server part of it, too.

The only thing keeping this product from receiving five stars from me is the interface can be confusing because of the myriad choices you can make. My advice is the same as what the manual recommends: use automatic settings where possible. It shouldn't defeat the determined noob, and it should cause waves of pleasure to wash over the experienced uber-geek.

Overall, it is a solid choice for a complete DSL/Network solution!

3.0 out of 5 stars Worked on one computer, but "Error Loading newdev.dll" on another, October 4, 2009

By	Troy Wood (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm giving this modem 3 stars, since it worked like an absolute dream on my wife's computer once I plugged in our AT&T settings. Sadly, the modem *will not* install drivers without the USB cable attached, and on my computer it kicked back an "Error Loading newdev.dll", even after I went to the trouble of going to their official site and downloading drivers directly.

The only "fix" I could find, suggested that my USB drivers were corrupted (though I've never had a problem with any other USB device), and that I should try uninstalling Windows Service Pack 3 and/or attempt to obtain updated USB drivers from my motherboard manufacturer. Alas, I don't have the time or patience to go to all this trouble for a lousy $39 modem, so back in the box it goes...

I really wanted to like this modem, and I've heard great things about their reliability, but it seems stupid that they only give you one method of installing drivers, and you're completely boned if they don't work.
