I bought this product based on its rich features with the DUMA operating system for gaming and general household internet support. It has been fantastic at managing all my data needs including sustained flawless WiFi connection with many devices in a neighbourhood crowded with many other WiFi signals. This unit (and the XR500) does not contain a internal modem which maybe necessary to connect to your internet provider (discuss its suitability with your internet provider first!). I have NBN Fibre to the home & my internet provider (internode/tpg) support VDSL connection so I did not require a seperate modem between the NTD (the NBN Fibre connection wall unit) and this router. I posted my set up details on the whirlpool dot net dot au website. Google whirlpool + XR1000 to find it. Providing you understand this requirement, you will find this router is well worth the money!
