Review: Been using this for a few days now. Setup was a snap but skip the CD if you can-just navigate your browser to the setup page. This product is easy to configure and if you're an advanced user, you can play with several other settings-just make sure you know what you're doing. Simple setup will get you going. Now that i'm with a smaller ISP i dont have to worry about renting modems from Bell again. Speed of internet connection is about the same as what i was getting with a Bell modem-no issues there. All in all, a good purchase at a great price! I would recommend it.
Review: I bought this DSL modem to replace a Westell 327W DSL modem/wireless G router that I got when I signed up for my Verizon home DSL six years ago. We live in a rural area and are toward the end of the recommended distance from the switching station for a DSL line. The Westell was very unreliable and would drop out the connection to the internet regularly and often needed to be re-booted to reconnect. It was especially bad when the weather was less than a perfect sunny day. This unit, the 520B is rock solid. I have had it for about a month so far, during which time we have had severe rain and thunderstorms - including lightning strikes - and it has not even skipped a beat. The unit was easy to install with the included software and it automatically self-updates via the signals sent from your ISP so it is a true "set it and forget it" kind of device (as it should be), but access to manually configure the unit is great also should you ever need it. The VPN pass through feature is faster and more reliable than the Westell was - much needed for me as when I telework I have to connect into the company network via a VPN connection. I have a Linksys EA 4500 wireless router connected to the modem and the two work flawlessly together as well. The EA 4500 is the hub of a fairly complex wired/wireless home network with multiple wired nodes, two router/wireless access points, an eight port switch and one wireless signal repeater/range extender. At maximum usage, there are four computers, two wireless printers, two Android phones and two Android tablets on the network running through the network and utilizing the modem at once and I never sense any traffic hitches or slow down issues. I am very pleased with this product in both price and performance.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this modem have a USB port?**
A: No USB port.

**Q: Does this come with a manual/setup guide and the cables?**
A: The modem comes with everything you need including a setup disk which worked for me despite the experience of some other reviewers.  I have had the modem for several months with no problems and would recommend it.  When something happened to my Internet connection, I found that unplugging the modem adapter, waiting several seconds, and then replugging it returned operation to normal.  You can look at the actual manual via the company's link (following); it includes the list of contents in the box.http://www.dlink.com/-/media/Consumer_Products/DSL/DSL%20520B/Manual/DSL-520B_Manual_US.pdf

**Q: Is this modem compatible with verizon dsl wifi signal?**
A: The people who have answered this question before suck. "I don't know, ask the manufacturer" is dumb to put in a public forum, and especially when all of the information is listed below.

This modem should be compatible with Verizon's DSL service, but it does not have wireless. This will get 1 device connected via Ethernet, without another switch or router in the mix. (I would purchase a different device if you need WiFi)

**Q: Does ot work with windstream dsl**
A: I contacted Wendy @ Windstream and she said "It may be possible to use an existing Windstream modem or a modem/router that has worked on another DSL provider's network. Please note that Windstream technical support cannot provide configuration or troubleshooting assistance on non-Windstream equipment. To check existing modem compatibility, contact a customer service representative. "  So the answer is it probably will but you will have to use D-Lin support if you need help configuring it.
