Easy setup and it works.......2007-05-09

I don't know if I'm lucky or others just didn't follow the instructions. I followed the instructions exactly and everything works fine. The auto-configuration was slow but still worked fine. The instructions are all pictures with sub-titles, so it's easy to understand. It's a good bargin for what one gets!

Horrible GUI and Confusing configuration.......2007-03-10

I bought this modem to replace a dead Netopia 3500 supplied by SBC. The auto setup does not work. I had to use the manual setup to get the thing to connect to the internet. Good luck trying to setup port forwarding if you have a server on your network. I gave up and replaced it with a Netgear.

Set it & Forget it.......2006-09-19

I have had this modem for a couple of years now. I wanted something that would be a modem & router w/firewall all in one unit.

After getting it configured, I haven't had to do anyting. My only complaint is that the electronic help provided to navigate the configuration screens is limited. I use static IP's, but most of the help is geared towards what your settings should be if you have a dynamic IP.

Makes a really good paper weight.......2005-09-25

At first, the thing was just having problems as a router. The DHCP gave out so I had all my machines on a static ip. No biggie. But, it was just the first sign of trouble. Then occassional I could not connect to it with ethernet although USB still worked. Then the sync up with the DSL started to fail for long periods of time. Then it gave out altogether.

I had this thing for three months. Zoom tech support was unhelpful and unresponsive.

I had to go out and spend another $90 on an actiontec which I hope will be better.

Don't buy this modem. Its a waste of money and time.

Great value for the money.......2005-09-02

This product was easy to install, just follow the setup directions. This DSL modem has everything I need and more. By far superior to the SpeedStream modem that SBC gives out with their DSL service. I recommend the Zoom X5 to anyone looking to replace their defective/obsolete DSL modem.
