This sleek black Motorola 2247-N8 is an all in one gateway,wireless and wired router for Standard DSL Services (not U-Verse). The wireless range is about average for units with no external antenna. The connection speed and surfing speed is fine. Forget the install disk and use your browser to install. 90% percent will self install using the GUI interface through your internet browser. The other 10% of the modems you will need to know your VPI/VCI numbers and manually put them in and then all is well. Using the GUI interface is pretty straight forward and not to hard to follow. Now just released is a 2 part Firmware upgrade from Motorola which makes use of the back USB port and some nice changes to the internet interface. I have installed the upgrade and recommend the install. The one problem is you will lose the multiple (SSID) feature. All in All I have had very good luck installing and using these Gateways. So if you have standard DSL and are in need of more features then a single slot modem, and mega wireless coverage is not needed, then this gateway is worth looking into.Read full review
If you wish security of a VPN make sure modem/router has VPN pass-through or ww-drt upgrade ability for PPTP & L2PT. Otherwise this is a reliable piece of electronics. I purchase a 12v (solder to on/off switch) 40mm fan and plan to install on case to promote better cooling. If keep cool works 100%!

I bought this router after AT&T sent their branded version to replace a dead older model. Checking Motorola's site and speaking with their online help, this model perfectly matched what AT&T's did, but with plenty more going for it--and can be had at half the price AT&T charged for theirs:($63+$12 shipping=$75..ouch) I'm totally satisfied with this model, which comes with built-in ethernet ports and wi-fi, meaning all your wireless devices can connect through the modem as well. Setup was a piece of cake and you can secure your connection, so I highly recommend it. Great prices are available if you just look.
Good for the price but it gets hot quick so have to restart for internet to turn back on

I bought this gateway to replace my old two devices adsl modem and wifi access point. What I like is stylish design and good performance. Reliable brand. As a cons I can name a bit tricky device configuration. Not very intuitive web administration interface. But hardware is all ok.
