I have a modem/router combination with a DSL supplier. How reliable is the wireless adaptor with a combination modem/router?

Unfortunately this device proved unreliable. We returned it . We could not keep the signal stable between linksys or netgear . The ooma would drop words making conversation almost impossible. Additionally the Ooma base station would routinely go red (offline).. The Ooma linx was a better solution for us..Good luck.

I have a combination modern/router and this didn't make a difference for me. Works very well in my experience. I guess just make sure that area of your house had good coverage.

I have the same exact setup. The combo modem router isn't an issue. it's the speed of your DSL that is important. In my opinion 10mpbs/1mpbs is the minimum or you get dropped calls or breakup especially on the upload side which is slower.

I have otimum cable modem now, but also used a wireless clear modem and it worked fine either way.

Hi,Thank you for emailing me. If your DSL modem uses a RJ-45 connection you will be able to use this router. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.Regards,Andrew SchearerOperations Manager"Like" us at facebook.com/reforgerdirect

Hi flash. This router is compatible with DSL connection but it will not work as a combo DSL modem/router. It's a dual band, gigabit router that needs to be wired to the DSL or Cable modem for it to work.

I used the router successfully for a few months until my Frontier modem died. They replaced it with a modem/router combo so I have a good spare router.

This just emits a wireless signal. The modem is normally what you need to worry about being compatible. Based off that fact, yes it is.

I assume you have DSL instead of cable and are looking for a DSL modem/router to combine the modem, wired and wireless in one package. The Linksys X2000 is awful, constantly dropping the connection. I've had better luck with Actiontec GT784WN. Great setup software and support. TP-Link TD-W8960N was OK, but support is non-existent and the interface is overly complex.

I have Century link as my DSL provider with an actionteck wireless-ready gateway. Am using a Cisco wireless-n router making the whole house Wi-fi ready. But that sounds like a question to ask Warner cable. Cannot see why not though. Good luck.

I use a cable modem with a router and have had no problem in the last 2 yrs of use.

Century link provides a recommended list here:http://qwest.centurylink.com/internethelp/modem-compatibility-table-q.htmlAny decent DSL modem should work.

Yes. Ethernet is a networking standard so this will work with any DSL/Cable modem. If your modem has a wireless router built in you may want your ISP to replace it with a standard modem.I am using this with an Arris TG862g. Should work fine with any SB6120, 6121, 6140, 6180 etc. If you have an SBG6580, you'll want to have it swapped for a non-wireless modem.Source: I worked for a cable company.

It is a DSL modem and a router (two in one)I don't recommend it as it was not as fast as the service provider supplied unit despit changing the settings by a pro.

I believe it should work with most any router , i've never had a problem with mine and i have had a few different models of wireless modems. what i like about it is you can use the App for it and operate it from anywhere..:)

it will improve if configured correctly. My modem and the repeater shared the same home web address so it was awkward to configure following directions but it seems to be working now that I added it to my trendnet wi-fi routers page.

Devices like this usually don't work with just any old wireless adapter. Anatoly's suggestion of using a WiFi router as a bridge is a good one, and I use two routers set up like this in my house to get wired devices onto my wireless network. One has been flashed with DD-WRT firmware and set up in Client Bridge mode. For those more faint of heart, I also have a Asus RT-N10+ set up in repeater mode, and that works well too, with the bonus that it extends my wireless network coverage. You can get the Asus router for less than $40, which is cheaper than most of the specialized wireless dongles. Devices like this usually don't work with just any old wireless adapter.

In my experience, I've been using this phone since middle-2014. All WIRED router/modem has worked properly (10/100, at least).

Yes. I run the signal from my DSL modem into the adapter and to my office where I run an Ethernet cable from the adapter to my router and transmit wireless to the whole house. My office is more central to the house and the router works great from there.
