Edit: This is has been a great modem/router. It has not skipped a beat in a year with 5 heavy stream users in the house. I am considering buying another just in case this one goes down.
Netgear DBND3300v2 for $40 off eBay factory refurbished. It looks brand new. I had to reset by inserting paper clip with power on until power light showed red before accessing the setup page. Default log in is admin and password. Default IP is 192.168.0.1.
Here are the settings for Centurylink because the wizard will not set it up correctly:
Basic settings
Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login? NO
Internet IP Address:
Get Dynamically From ISP
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address :
Get Automatically From ISP
Under ADSL settings
Multiplexing settings:
LLC-BASED
VPI: 8
VCI: 35
It would not update firmware because it insisted on trying to use the most recent which was for Germany only. I had to download the latest for North America manually and then install. Worked flawlessly. Current firmware V2.1.00.53_1.00.53NA
The DBND3300 is beautiful to look at but I would not try to sleep with it in the same room. The LED display is 4th of July competitive. Think NORAD at DEFCON 5 in all its light flashing glory. Would I buy this again for $40? Yes, most definitely. Just be aware that you will not be doing Roku at N speeds because the N radio is 5 GHz. and Roku is 2.4 GHz only.
