"Doesn't last"
Pros: The modem was easy to set up and easy to use.
Cons: It just doesn't last. It works great at first but do your research before buying this modem - there's a defect with the power supply.
Summary: I had my first 2wire modem for just over a year - then all of sudden the power light went red and it wouldn't work anymore. I called tech support and after testing the modem in various outlets they determined that it was dead. The modem was just past it's warranty and they told me I would have to buy a new modem. I asked them why it died after just over a year - they asked me if I kept it plugged in all the time - I said yes - they said that was the problem, I shouldn't leave it plugged in all the time. This answer sounded suspicious to me, I leave my toaster plugged in all the time too but it's been going strong for 8 years now. So I bought a second 2wire and religiously turned it off while I was sleeping and while I was at work. This modem lasted for a year and a half before the same thing happened. I am without a modem again and just don't know if I can stomach buying a third from AT&T in less than three years.
