Verdict

Home/small office networkers interested in a ‘wires-only’ ADSL connection should consider this well-featured and reasonably usable DSL modem/router/switch... Read Full Review.

Pros

  • Reasonably straightforward to install and configure
  • Good set of additional features (4-port Ethernet switch, firewall, gateway) for the price.

Cons

  • The device’s clock needs to be reset to European time
  • Bundled firewall lives on your PC rather than the device itself.
