Comments about Zoom 5654 X5 Ethernet/USB ADSL 2/2+ Modem:

The menu used for anything other than basic configuration, could use a lot of help.

I did not find this to be a user friendly device. Trying to configure port forwarding, I finally gave up, bridged to a Linksys router, and used that for port forwarding.

Support on the Zoom website was of no help either, as the help specified there and what was in the manual on disk, conflicted with each other frequently.

I would highly recommend you look elsewhere if you need to do anything other than basic connections.

Comments about Zoom 5654 X5 Ethernet/USB ADSL 2/2+ Modem:

The DSL modem provided by my ISP quit. It required a separate router and never did work nice with my home network. This unit setup faster than the original did, and worked with my network right off of the bat. Granted, I did take time to read the directions first (didn't take long) and I am an engineer. Very pleased.

An acceptable DSL modem
By MikeVerified Buyer from Reno, NV on 7/31/2009
Pros:

Comments about Zoom 5654 X5 Ethernet/USB ADSL 2/2+ Modem:

The modem itself is effective and much more stable and reliable than the ISP-provided modem it replaces. However, the web-based setup screens are more than a little non-intuitive and difficult, especially for a simple home setup. The only saving grace is that the setup wizard provided on a CD takes care of the issues that are not easily resolved using the web interface.
This is either definitely made for business and / or power-user use, or is very poorly designed for home use. Lots of network / modem / router experience is needed for this one.
