Review by Noname : An improvement for me.
I got this gateway with my AT&T DSL account. It was easy to set up. I don't do gaming or watch lots of movies, so this gateway does what I need it to do. I used to have a DSL modem, but the signals would always drop and I'd have to keep resetting it. So far, no problem here.
The WiFi signal from this gateway is the strongest I've ever gotten in this house. I was able to hook up my computer down the hall and into the kitchen without a hitch. Whereas that used to get one bar, it's now full strength. The computer across the house and up a level gets a weak signal, which is better than no signal that we had before.

UPDATE #1: Anyone know if this is a problem with our gateway or our service? The connection is great when I'm on. When I turn off the computer and come back, it works fine. When I leave the computer idle for hours and come back, the connection is lost and I have to reboot the gateway.

UPDATE #2: I blocked my computer from sleeping and solved my problem. Now, my computer is either on or off, but no sleeping. The connection has stopped dropping.

Review by Zachary Palmer : Easy setup. Steep price. No QoS.
Having used the 1701HG (http://www.amazon.com/2Wire-1701HG-2WIRE-Broadband-Router/dp/B0029LRYMK/) previously, I found the interface basically tolerable, and as a modem it functions well enough with my AT&T account. It's built in a less annoying and cheap looking case. (though the 1700 series was pretty rigid for a dsl modem)
The Good:
- Easy Setup
- Compact Chassis
- Functions Fairly Reliably
- Has SPI firewall and wireless access
The Bad:
- As with most DSL modems currently, supports only Fast Ethernet (e100) ports, as opposed to the Gigabit and 10G stuff I'm waiting for
- Wireless is par at best
The Ugly:
- No QoS (this is a fairly important feature for gamers and such)

Review by P. Roscom : 2 Thumbs Up!
First off, my home setup consists of one (Win XP) EMachine desktop and a (Win Vista) HP pavillon laptop. Am using AT&T's DSL, $19.95, basic package.
That said, this 2Wire gateway box was a breeze to hookup, just follow the colored pic instructions. My desktop was hard wired via the ethernet wire included and laptop connects via the wireless wifi signal this 2Wire box emits.
Only issue I had was with the "registration" portion once I was all connected and clicked on the IE browser. AT&T's 24/7 tech support walked me through this. Big problem was that the 2Wire box I had, though brand new, was one of the "SBC models". The AT&T tech rep had to give me some instructions to load to get the 2Wire in sync with their system. Don't think you can ever tell or have a choice of knowing if you are going to receive an AT&T configured box or one of these SBC models.
At this time, am all good to go, surfing through the internet at blazing speeds, way faster than my old dial-up ISP provider. Wireless laptop connection is at 5 bars all the way to my living room. Durability, longevity wise, we'll see how this box pans out. For now, I give this 2Wire DSL modem/wireless router a 2 thumbs up!
