Overview
Not a cable modem, the Actiontec unit is a DSL modem and Wireless N router in one box, certified for Verizon DSL. An AutoDetect wizard sets it up from your username and password.
Combining modem and router cuts clutter and leaves one box to manage on a Verizon DSL line. A configurable firewall and content filtering add control. It does not work with cable or fiber service, and the Wi-Fi is older and slower.
Who it's for
Households and small offices still on Verizon DSL get a direct replacement unit. Cable and fiber customers cannot use it.

Performance notes
Internet speed is capped by the DSL line and the ADSL standard, not by the router. Wi-Fi range and speed depend on the MIMO antenna and placement. Remote management lets the provider troubleshoot the line.
