It is discreet and this pretty little modem! Two antennas to show he can do the router in addition, two connectors to connect to two devices (ie an additional external router or a switch to offset the weak connection options, two equipment whose pc to drive). This is a real router with very respectable performance and supports ADSL2 without any difficulty (which is the config tested at home), but can, of course, go further without any difficulty. What is surprising in this equipment is the presence of a modem, a device that was more used to meet because of the wide dissemination of the "box" who can offer with an ease of connecting and setting implement the three services now almost obliged. So I went to see a little of what it was worth modem is a little tinkering, place a filter upstream, between the phone jack and the modem, two connectors out of this filter: one for ADSL and one for the phone. The connections are simple and classic, you connect the PC brings on the screen setting table Netgear D1500. Few complications, we enter his username and password, then makes adjustments depending on the configuration you chose. The moment of truth will then approach to compare with what gives the box (which is disconnected from this fact) and there, not only we take the comparison, but in addition it is better! I had already a router to neutralize a box of SFR that begins to age and was just in network operating and now this little router is much better in terms of operation! No revolution however, flows are only slightly improved (tested with consumers 60M site) but the stability and fluidity of the Internet has nothing to do, great performance (ping and especially latency is also reduced). This equipment ultimately raises the question of providing a bare internet offer I do not currently know the market and which may be proposed at a competitive price without provision of box that could eventually undo if the need for TV Internet is not essential .. Meanwhile it good to know that fallback is possible without problem in case of failure of the box (lightning etc ..), good equipment that Netgear router! I have removed one star because I think the number of connectors is insufficient to claim a role wired router worthy of the name, but, after all, for that price, do not ask for more than the moon!
