Won't bother with another D-Link.and this was my first and last trip to Fry's. Five blinking lights on the front of the modem. Could not get either computer to "see" the modem. 60 minutes on the phone with D-Link's tech people, and they finally gave up and told me to return the thing to Fry's. Purchased at Fry's. Tried 2 different computers (an iMac and a MacBook). Tried assigning static IP addresses to the computers, pings sent through Network Utility, swapping Ethernet cables, re-booting the modem.nothing worked.
You'll need to be able to access your provider's VCI/VCP, if you can't get that you're out of luck. I am also stuck with a modem I can't return, but does me no good.
The folks over at AT&T were not helpful at all, probably because D-Link is not one of their Preferred suppliers. The people over at D-Link made the experience of hooking up this modem pleasant. After all is said and done the DSL-2320B works well on the ATT&T DSL system.The shipping and delivery was great as always through Amazon.
and now because of the no return policy of both Amazon and D-Link I am stuck with a $50 modem that I can't use and an Internet connection that I can't use either because of not having a modem. that would explain things. I have been trying for a week to install and use this modem without any luck; all the while thinking that I am too stupid to do something so simple. Then I come back to this website and see a posted comment telling me that this modem doesn't work with Windows Vista. I am frustrated that no one in the product description does it say that it doesn't work with Vista.
It really would have been nice if it had been made known in the product description that it would work only on XP and would not install on Vista, 64 bit. Additionally, since it cannot be returned to Amazon as it has been opened is another major drawback and one that has convinced me to consider not making future purchases of non-returnable products from Amazon.
