This modem and router combo features a full-rate ADSL 2/2+ modem, a 4-port Ethernet switch and a dual-antenna wireless-N router in one unit for a wide range of high-speed connection options.
I have Frontier DSL service. I've used two modems in the past, and they were pain in the butt to install, or setting up wireless & other options. When my old modem finally died, I went with this Actiontec brand I had never heard of before, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
Basically, you just plug in the cords required with any DSL modems, then the built-in software walks you right thru the installation. After my experiences with other modems, I was nearly dumbfounded by how fast & easy the whole process went this time around.
My old wireless modem, while it connected with my old smartphone just fine, it would not with my new phone. With my new Actiontec, I didn't even have to play around with the thing, it connected as soon as I used the installation software.
I highly recommend this product, especially for the price. Also, big thanks to BestBuy for the online locate & local pick-up option. You guys are big help.
Enjoy a fast connection to the Internet with this modem that is compatible with most DSL providers and features a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN port for easy connectivity. Firewall capability provides a secure connection to keep your data safe.

Slow, but broke very fast.

I use it in...:Apartment
When my very old Westell DSL that came free with the service started cutting out intermittently, I purchased this unit as a replacement.
I think the Westell was easily 3 years old, but the connection was noticeably faster with it, and also had wifi & three outputs, where this unit does not have wifi & just one output.
Since I went with the cheapest DSL modem I could find, I would've been fine with all of those shortcomings if it lasted little bit longer. I used it for barely a year when it died. I've been back on the ancient Westell modem for last couple of months before I find a replacement. I'm definitely avoiding Netgear this time around.
What's great about it: Price.
What's not so great: Slow performance, lasted maybe a year.

I've been looking forward to trying out an pair from Sennheiser, but I can never buy from a company that puts out a product like this on the market. I guess they don't thoroughly test their products.
Sound is pretty good for $40, but nothing amazing, even for the price. And it doesn't really matter how it sounds, when less than 10 minutes in, your head start feeling like it's being clamped by a vice grip.
What's great about it: Sounds decent for the price.
MGM brings Mel Brooks' science fiction farce Spaceballs to DVD with both widescreen and standard versions on the same disc, and 5.1 Surround Sound, though the movie's lackluster production values make it difficult to discern the quality of the transfer. Still, for fans of actor/writer/director Brooks, the full-length commentary (originally recorded for the laserdisc release) includes his trademark quips and a genuine appreciation of the actors and other collaborators on the film. He has an amazing memory for the details of their careers before and after working with him. It's also refreshing for a director to mock his own work, as well as laugh at the comic bits he has undoubtedly seen dozens of times. In a brief behind-the-scenes featurette, cast members John Candy, Rick Moranis, and others talk about the pleasure of working with Brooks and share stories of on-set goofiness. Basically, for fans of Brooks' unique comic sensibilities, the DVD makes a worthwhile evening's entertainment.

The movie is an absolute classic. My only gripe is that the DVD is advertised as an widescreen enhanced disc, it is not.
What's great about it: Great movie.
What's not so great: It is not enhanced for widescreen
