Recently I have diagnosed one of my customer's 2Wire 2701HGV-E modem, According to customer Singtel told him, the modem is malfunctioning and customer should buy new modem as persistent disconnection/intermittent connection issues continues. I have tested with different/better quality AC adaptor and issue resolved. I have also measured the output of original AC adaptor, it seemed to have some periodic ripple/spike which is related to dead output capacitor.
2Wire 2701HGV-E is actually has good features although singtel's own firmware limits some of the features. Biggest common issue due to the low quality AC adaptor. 2Wire 2701HGV-E manufactured in Malaysia and AC adaptor mass produced with in China.

Read post #929 for the modem
Router-wise any one will do, but pick a better one like dlink DIR-655 if u do BT or expect heavy traffic.
Do note that if u do this, Mio-TV will no longer be supported.

unfortunately all-in-ones lack gigabit ports, and cannot beat a good modem+router combination when it comes to BT/gaming.
You lose some, you gain some.
hmm thanks for the advice, im not using any miotv/digital phone service, so should be ok buying a router and setting the 2wire to bridge.
which one would you guys recommend? was looking at the dir-655 and ASUS RT-N56U.
If you are having disconnection problems with the 2wire, setting it to bridge will not help.
I tried doing that, and ended up getting a separate modem.
Can't go wrong with either routers.
The reason im using dir-655 is .. it has been with me for 4 yrs and still running well. ASUS definitely looks good (will get it next if dir-655 dies on me).
RT-N16 boasts "Support up to 300,000 sessions for extensive P2P clients"
Engenius ESR9850 is a dark horse though; cheap (about 1/2 the price) and fast.
for those mio plans with 10mbps.
I understand st provides another phone line foc.
but what about modem? two as well? one for tv, the other for broadband/voice?
Thanks!
