So, not the details...
I have been an AT&T DSL customer for 13+ years. My neighborhood has not be upgraded to fiber yet, nor has it been upgraded to AT&T's U-Verse DSL infrastructure yet. My setup still uses a PPPoE protocol, necessitating an AT&T DSL login and supplied password (not to be confused with the password that you set up for your Email client and/or your AT&T profile homepage login). If you are still on this type of AT&T DSL, then this Actiontec model will work wonderfully as an aftermarket replacement. If you are on the newer U-Verse structure then you will be in for some struggles as they use a streetside wireless system to authenticate your DSL account, detecting your modem's MAC address as opposed to using a PPPoE authentication. So be forewarned.
I have used a slew of different AT&T endorsed hardware in the last several years, including a few different Westell units (4100, 4100B, and others), an Efficient Networks Speedstream 52xx, and a 2Wire 2701...just to name a few. All have been hit and miss with the Speedstream model working the best. If your OEM AT&T modem goes bad now, contacting AT&T will just have them telling you to buy one of their approved replacement modems from their store. It will likely be from a choice of the 2Wire 2701 (awful modem/gateway-short life, bad power supply), a couple of rebadged Westell units no with Netgear branding, and a cheapie Motorola badged junk. Prices are from $75-$125. Don't try to get a free replacement of out them...if you are able to convince them to send you one, you will be charged a modem lease fee of $7-$8/month for having it. And most of them are junk. Actually, most any modern day available consumer level modems in the market now are pretty much disposable these days. Planned obsolescence is the name of the game in today's consumer electronics world.
So aside from the AT&T provided junk that is offered, I have also had an Asus RT-N66U router/gateway and a D-Link DGL4100 that have also gone bad (both being what was classified as an enthusiast level hardware) in the past 5 years. The Asus lasted 1.5 years and currently being sent back for RMA repair.
Moving forward, the last winter storm that ripped through the Midwest last week contributed to the not so surprising failure of my 2Wire modem/gateway. The unit is very sensitive to voltage fluctuations and the few flickers that we had in our electricity must have fried the poor thing, despite being plugged into a 2-tier surge protection setup. I had a couple of Westell 4100s that I used to pacify my connection until I could find a suitable replacement.
After looking around for different possibilities, I kept returning back to the Actiontec unit. This unit was assessed as a low cost, low risk, relatively decent reviewed option. It is a tidy package of full bore ADSL+ modem, 4 port switch for wired Ethernet, and WIFI a/b/g/N wireless gateway (like the crap 2Wire that I just had). After reading some of the reviews, it appeared that the unit is very DSL provider friendly. This unit is actually a OEM unit that is used by Verizon DSL service in some markets.
After receiving the unit, I quickly had it installed and running in less that 10 mins. The installation routine quickly assessed and preconfigured for my AT&T DSL provider. All that was required from the user level was to provide the AT&T DSL login and password information and any adjustments that you want to make for your WIFI, such as encryption protocols, choice of SSID password (they generate one by default, but you can change it...as well as the name of your wifi point). After that, you're authenticated, online, and all that's left is you determining how you want your physical connections routed to the switch.
Speed tests were stable and at par with my 6Mbps package. Latency was good and where it needed to be. Wifi performance was good...not as good as my 3 antenna 2.4/5.0ghz Asus RT-N66U, but good nonetheless. Worth noting is that this wireless gateway only uses the 2.4ghz band. Any 2.4ghz hardware that you have in the house (like cordless phones) will/may interfere with wifi performance. I suggest that in your setup routine of the modem, that you select one of the available wifi channels as opposed to the default "auto detect" setting.
Stability is good...so far. After you get all your settings the way that you want to, you should reboot the modem. The modem will reboot itself every so many days when it needs to flush it's memory utilization. This is typical and not a need for concern. It's just it's own autonomous way of purging when it get's too bloated.
You can mount this modem either vertically (with the supplied, but flimsy, foot base) or horizontally. You cannot mount this modem on a wall as there are no provisions to do so. The browser powered setup page (192.168.0.1 default) is wonderful. It's use of very easy to read graphical GUI style mapping is easy to interpret and understand, even for the non-techie. The setup is very robust, ranging from basic configurations to advanced configurations, including firewall setup, DMZ, port forwarding, IP blocking, etc. It's mostly all there. Firmware was the most current out of the box and can be easily upgraded/flashed through it's setup page...although there has not been any updates listed on their site since 2011.
I have several sources feeding into the modem. So far, heat does not appear to be an issue, however, I have not taken any steps to datalog any log term thermal ranges as I always have a USB cooling fan blowing on the modem all the time. This is something that I have done for many, many years now by habit. Modems tend to get hot, especially ones that have a heavy load put on them. An external cooling solution is always a good idea to ensure that your modem does not exceed it's thermal ceilings.
There you have it...my nickel review. Take it for what it's worth. You'll see bad reviews and good reviews. Even the best units and models out there are not without rotten apples. I am fortunate enough where I am able to write a positive review and experience for the unit that I received. The packaging was very sound and you will get all the accessories that you need to have this installed very fast and easily. Again, my strongest word of advice to make for a smooth install is that have your AT&T DSL login and password ready before you start installing it. If you do NOT know this information, you can call up AT&T and they will provide it for you, assuming that you clear all their security questions.
My only gripe(s) about this modem? -1 silent star for it's shortcomings.
*5.0ghz dual band offering would have been nice.
*Provisions for wall mounting would be nice.
*A more robust/secure mounting foot for vertical placement.
Small gripes among large number of PROs. For all that you do get, it's priced very appropriately, if not very well. 5 official review stars for it's total value and it's ability to deliver on it's advertised promises.
> Connection to ATT DSL was effortless and simple. I just made all the physical connections, went to the setup website and followed the Wizard.
> Using my previous network name and password, my wired (Ethernet-connected) and wireless computers could connect to each other and the internet with no additional steps.
CONNECTING TO SAMSUNG PHONE AND TABLET
> However, initially, my Samsung phone and Samsung tablet could not connect.
> It turns out that the Samsung phone and tablet do not support WEP security (which I had always used before), so I had to use WPA-WPA2 security, and the Actiontek customer service told me that I had to use define a new network name since I was using a different security protocol, so I just added "1" to the old name. Of course that meant that I had to go through the connection wizards of all my devices and specify the new network name, security type, and security key.
> So, if you are simply replacing an old router which died, and do not need to change any of the settings, use your old network name and security key, and all of your devices should connect as before. If you have to make changes to the settings, use a different (new) network name and security key.
CONNECTING TO SAMSUNG TV
> My Samsung TV inexplicably reported "network interference" and "contact your internet provider" when I tried to connect to Netflix. That was nonsense since I could connect to the internet on all my many other devices.
> Netflix customer service shrugged me off, claiming that it wasn't their problem and told me to contact AT&T customer service. But when I insisted that my internet connection on all other devices was fine, and that my problem was ONLY connecting to Netflix, then Netflix customer service reluctantly told me to change the DNS setting from "automatic" to "8.8.8.8", and walked me through it. That solved the problem.
> Based on the internet sites devoted to the problem, connecting a Samsung TV to Netflix via non-Uverse AT&T DSL appears to be a very common problem. Some websites blame the problem on AT&T (claiming that non-Uverse DSL service is a low priority), some blame Netflix, and some blame Samsung. The default on the Samsung TV is "automatic", but that doesn't seem to work consistently, and the error message "Network Interference" isn't helpful, so I'd place a big chunk of blame with Samsung. I can only imagine the hassles trying to connect a more obscure brand of TV to a smaller service provider. But then, in the past I've had episodes of "Network Interference" for as long as a week (when I have NOT changed any equipment or settings), and AT&T claims that there is no problem with my phone line. I figure those episodes must be AT&T's fault---probably caused by AT&T unintentionally changing DSL characteristics while fiddling with their Uverse service.
> AT&T (or at least Bell South) does have the ability to modify individual phone lines to be "fast and noisy" to "clean but slow". Apparently streaming (e.g., Netflix) requires a cleaner signal than simpler voice or data transmission. Point being, that whoever is the cause of the problem, your service provider may be able to optimize your service (at no cost to you) for streaming.
> So why not change to Uverse? As it happens, my neighbor has Uverse (via an actual physical telephone line) and his router is only 40' away on a straight line through a nice big window. So, we connect to his router (with his permission) when we have connection problems when we are without internet service---and the Uverse service was awful---dropping out for several minutes at least once an hour on average, and VOP (which we sometimes have to use for secure business conference calls) was unintelligible.
EVALUATION
> The connection problems I had were with my devices' peculiar requirements--not with the Actiontek modem/router.
> I was considering investing about $75 in a new modem and $175 in a new router. For $60, the Actiontek router seems to do everything I need, including streaming HD movies flawlessly, and the Actiontek customer service was great.

Reviewed in Canada on November 19, 2018
I bought it for value considering that it's a wi-fi router and DSL modem in one. I'm using it at my short-term rental place and it made complete sense price-wise. It was easy to install with just the set of instructions that came with the package My purpose was to use it with my TechSavvy DSL line. It works fine when the DSL line works but it's a bit of a hassle with troubleshooting because Techsavvy support isn't too familiar with this modem.
The wi-fi router seems pretty strong for my apartment which is about 600 sq ft. We have a good strong signal everywhere. TechSavvy lets you rent their own modems and they claim that their DSL speeds may be compromised with incorrect modems but I haven't experienced any extraordinarily slow speeds.
I'm holding off on the 5th star to see if this modem will last over a year.
