Re: Is this s good modem
The T-series products have been around for about 18 months now.
They have been widely distributed around the world, but have only relatively recently been available in N America. There are a small number of posts in this forum about them, most from Europe.
The DSL-504T is a 4 port router/switch with a built-in ADSL modem. This style of all-in-one device is very popular in Europe. I'm in England - it's quite difficult here to find an external ADSL modem with Ethernet connection. Everyone seems to prefer the all-in-one design - certainly the price is lower that way!
I have a couple of these devices (a DSL-300T modem and the DSL-G604T wireless router - same as the DSL-504T but with wireless). They're fine - I have no problems.
Like all similar devices, they are reliable when they are running good, reliable firmware. I'm not sure what firmware version will be installed on a device bought in the US or Canada.
The most recent firmware has been released by D-Link Australia, which includes an upgrade to ADSL2+ (the device supports ADSL lines up to 24 Mbit/s) and includes SNMP.
As far as problems go, I'm aware of two (common to many router brands I might add). Find a copy of a recent post which describes them + workrounds here:
