I was upgrading my internet service (Frontier Communication) from a crawling speed of 256kbps to 3Mbps recently, the ISP had a promotion going on for $29.99/mo the same price as before (how can I resist?).
So I went ahead and did the upgrade. Meanwhile they sent me a Siemens SE567 wireless DSL modem with the speed upgrade along came the $4.50 monthly rental fee.
As a savvy consumer (like to think I am one) I went shopping online for a replacement. I looked at amazon.com, dslreports.com for advise and finally settle on two brands D-link and Actiontec.
After further reading of the reviews, decided on the Actiontec for its price and size. Amazon.com was asking for $50 with free shipping, I found a better deal from bhphotovideo.com for $41 with free 3 day shipping.
I finally received it today. After a quick reading of the manual, it was up and running in less than 10 minutes. I was expecting having to do some manual configuration, but I didn't have to, the automatic configuration option took care of it all. All I had to supply was the user id and password.

The process was a lot easier then I have expected. I would definitely recommend this product to others.
