My Dad's AT&T 2Wire wireless modem/router (combined) crapped out after only 2 years.

I have the same, and have had no problems, but I've only had mine for 22 months!! lulz

What do you recommend for a durable, reliable, long-lasting replacement (to be used with AT&T's DSL services)??

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Also FYI, FWIW, the power supply (adapter) has been an issue with these 2Wire modem/routers, but in replacing the power supply (adapter), the modem is still not working (red power light - supposed to be green), so it looks like a replacement modem/router is in order.

Before I switched from TWC to Verizon Fios I was using a Linksys wireless router.

Never really had any issues with it.

^Yup...had the same linksys for almost 5 years.......no probs and their customer service is great

TG should chime in soon.......

I've had a Linksys also, loved it. And their Customer Service was great!

Stupid question for you tekkies.

I called Linksys customer service for the following...

They said the Linksys routers do not have a built-in modem...they are just wireless routers.

Any recommendations on a unit that is a combo modem/router??

The 2Wire was both....apparently Cisco/Linksys does not make a combo unit, according to the girl I just talked to.

When I had Verizon and Comcast, I had a seperate modem.
