Expanded Ratings: Actiontec Electronics, Inc. Dual PC Modem
Design   ( / 5 )
In as much as this is a rather simplistic product, the footprint is small and the interfaces simplistic. It does not have to be complex at all. It would have been nice to have some sort of on-device settings LCD so that we could be able to choose among some presets.
Features   ( / 5 )
This is a simple device so again, features are minimalistic. We'd always like a little more from the software interface side. We had some issues with seeing the device across a large LAN.
Performance   ( / 5 )
Works great. Simple as that.
Value   ( / 5 )
Everyone should have one of these as a backup to your home wired broadband connection. When that is down, you need connectivity, no matter how slow. This is a must-have product at the right price.
