The DSL-520B ADSL2+ Modem Router from D-Link is super-handy piece of hardware that serves as both your ADSL modem and wired router. With a built-in RJ-11 ADSL port, this device connects to your ADSL, ADSL2, or ADSL2+ line. If you have an ADSL2+ line, you can transfer data a rate of up to 24Mbps downstream and up to 2Mbps upstream. Beyond use as your modem, this device also features an RJ-45 Fast Ethernet LAN port for routing your Internet connection to your computer. As a wired router, the device also has more advanced functions such as firewall protection for network security and Quality of Service bandwidth prioritization for keeping your latency-sensitive applications, like VoIP or online gamines operating smoothly. This device is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

Comments about D-Link DSL-520B ADSL2+ Modem Router:
Was extremely simple to setup, and is working without any issues. Got this because my prior ADSL2+ modem (TP-Link) did NOT work well with an ADSL2 connection - so I'd highly recommend D-Link for anyone who wants/needs a modem separate from their internal router.But to get 5 stars they need to improve their setup documentation and process. While it turned out to be extremely easy to setup (almost everything auto-sensed), the setup docs were incorrect and the process is more confusing/complicated than need be. (This is one of those cases where in trying to protect you from having technical knowledge, they actually make it harder to do whats needed).
