I'm looking for a good, solid, stable, robust DSL modem with router and preferably both wireless and ported. 4 ports would be a plenty for me always. I'd like something that doesn't pick up on interference from surrounding items and is possibly stable enough to not disconnect every time it comes a storm within 15 miles. I really don't know much about quality of brands and such in this area, so I am seeking your advice. The DSL modem/router must meet the following specifications in order to be compatible with my ISP:

Will any DSL modem work? Do I have to use a modem supplied by BellSouth? (#6627)

 

No, not all DSL modems are compatible with the BellSouth FastAccess service. It must be ADSL G.DMT compatible and allow you to change the VPI setting to 8 and VCI setting to 35. Some modems are bridge modems that require a third party PPP connection client. The BellSouth Connection Agent PPPoE client is available at the BellSouth Support Site. Other clients are available or you can use the native PPP client if you have Windows XP. You must include @bellsouth.net after your username.

 

Note: G.LITE only and SDSL modems are not compatible with the BellSouth FastAccess Service.
