Review on 💻 D-Link DSL-520B ADSL2+ Ethernet Modem by Raymond Wade

Okay, just a few quick mentions. First, it's a DSL-ADSL2+ modem, not a modem/router combo. The description says there is a newer version of this product, but the newer version is actually a router and modem combo, which is a whole different game. Please note that this modem requires its own Internet address (IP). If you have a router installed and it uses 192.168.1.1, you will have an easily resolved modem setup conflict. As an example, I used 192.168.4.1 for the modem. Another good feature of this modem is that it also has a built-in firewall for added security. Installation is fairly easy for those who have done it before. Their tech support, as I once worked with them, is pretty good. They're responsive and walk you through anything you're unfamiliar with. The installation instructions are poor and I would take a good look at them. For example, in the installation diagram, they show the modem cable connected to the back of the PC. They don't seem to map from the modem to the router or to the PC scenario. I recommend this product as standalone ADSL2+ modems are no longer available, at least as far as I can tell.
