How 'good', if at all, is a 2Wire 2700HG-B?

Client thinks of doing some work to the home network and if any
augments and/or upgrades were to take place, this would be the time.

My initial searches online donm't turn up much about this model,
anybody know if it is a good candidate for replacement?

One thing I would like to point out about people who have 2Wire wireless
routers. In my experience driving around, people keep the stock WEP
encryption. The problem with this is that it's super easy to crack (5
minutes if that). They use an all number passphrase, which is inherently
insecure, on top of an easily exploitable system.

So be sure to change the wireless security options to something that's
less vulnerable. WPA or better.

Just want to point that out.

as Jeff basically said - What's the question ?

Re: How 'good', if at all, is a 2Wire 2700HG-B?
I guess "good" is the classical catch-all phrase, for anybody know anything
?

The more important question is --- what is meant by this text ?
"Client thinks of doing some work to the home network and if any
augments and/or upgrades were to take place, this would be the time."

what is "some work to the home network" -
ie - expanding area to be covered by wireless ?
adding harwired stations, devices,
other computers, servers, media players, printers, higher wired speeds, etc

Q) Is the 2Wire 2700HG-B any good as a wireless router and/or would
replacing it be a good idea?
