Netgear N300 Wireless Router with ADSL2+ Modem (DGN2200) Seller: Deals On Wheels

Finally found a modem/wireless router to replace my AT&T 2Wire 2701HG-B router wireless Gateway DSL router modem. At first glance, the $70 NETGEAR N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router (DGN2200) easily replaces an AT&T modem/wireless router. That said, isn't the intermittent internet outage I've been experiencing with two AT&T modems/wireless routers an AT&T server issue? While I leave the AT&T modem/wireless router as a replacement, the Netgear N300 hardware is dropped with its power supply and the AT&T modem/wireless router hardware is replaced! Netgear N300 Wireless Router with ADSL2+ Modem (DGN2200) Netgear N300 Wireless Router with ADSL2+ Modem (DGN2200) A few weeks later: Now that I've spent a few weeks getting this refurbished modem/router up and running on an AT&T DSL line bring I thought I'd tell me what I found. In Revain's addendum, this modem router, sold by Deals On Wheels and manufactured by Revain, stated that it was new, not that it was refurbished. I didn't realize it wasn't new until I tried registering it with Netgear! Like everything else sold on Revain, the add-on was new; Refurbished and used options available. When New listed the $69.99 Deals On Wheels modem/router as "New", did I expect the device to be new and able to register it with Netgear? Anyhow, I haven't gotten it working yet, and it looks like it should replace the 2Wire 2701HG-B Wireless Gateway DSL Router modem that AT&T ships with no problems. to my Yahoo search engine and downloaded the Netgear genie onto my computer because the refurbished N300 was missing a CD. Once I plugged in the router, swapped out the AT&T 2Wire 2701HG-B Wireless Gateway DSL router modem, and ran the Netgear genie install, everything was easy, connecting in less than 5 minutes. Wi-Fi for other devices took longer because you need [.] to log into the router.
