Qwest Offers Wi-Fi in DSL Modem 04/09/2004 03:57 PM

Qwest is selling DSL customers a $60 (or rented for $3/month) gateway with Wi-Fi built-in: Actiontec is a big winner here, with Qwest selling their DSL/Wi-Fi combo. This may be the first U.S. telecom or cable firm to offer Wi-Fi so aggressively as an integrated product, but it won't be the last. It will soon be de rigeur to offer Wi-Fi as an option or a baseline feature in gateways and broadband modems. The products are available; the ISPs just need to hop on the right bandwagon. The price is notable, because past offerings of Wi-Fi equipment to telco customers has been far above market prices. This price tag of $60 seems perfectly reasonable given its integration. It's not clear from the article whether technical support for Wi-Fi is included in the DSL subscription....

Qwest's DSL modems are available as retail items at Best Buy including a DSL plus Wi-Fi option: DSL carriers are obviously finding it better to compete with cable by offering essentially free sharing of a single connection as an official option. The retail packaging of a Qwest DSL modem is supposed to reduce Qwest's cost even further in a DSL installation. Most DSL is now self-installed, removing the expensive cost of a truck roll....

My cable modem died last night before I was finished (it still is down -- I'm now dialing in via MSN). But, Forgetfoo went off and designed me a whole new look! See why CSS is cool? He can come up with a new design very easily. Anyway, I will keep working on the design this weekend. Who knows? I might just use Forgetfoo's design.

I just got my Yahoo! DSL self-install kit in the mail, and the modem has a red sticker on it that reads:
"ATTENTION To maximize connection speed, leave this modem on for 10 days after DSL installation is complete. Please Note: You can use your DSL service during this time. It is not necessary to leave your computer on, only the modem."
Why do I have to leave the modem on for 10 days? Is something inside it fermenting? Email me if you know.

actiontec_net_cam_54.jpgHardware Pacers has an exceptionally detailed (albeit slightly fanboy-sounding) review of Actiontec's 54Mbps Wireless Network Camera, including a full rundown of the install process and loads of screenshots. Their overall impression was that the camera worked perfectly—it was simple access from a web browser and the video stream was great, at least at the 320x240 resolution. They noticed what they termed a dramatic slowdown when bumped up to 640x480, so it effectively becomes a question of exactly how much detail you want in your voyeuristic indulgences. Regardless, it's a small, easily mounted camera with a built-in microphone and email-capable motion detector for just about $200. Not too bad a deal.
