I've looked at a really old speedstream once and it was horrible at the time. It did eventually make a IPsec connection but it depended on a browser popup.

This was roughly 4 years ago though. It looked like a plastic lunch box with leds. IIrc the model was a 5380 or something along those lines.

Regarding the hostile power, I have no gripes with the Drayteks. What I do see is that in shops where the shop window lighting is failing (which is high voltage fluorescent) that the either the Router keeps restarting or it causes so much RF interference from the light startup that it is causing massive DSL communication failures.

The routers we deployed with the old style transformers are less affected by the reboots, but still suffer the DSL issues. These power supplies fail every now and then.

The routers that have the switch mode power supplies don't get many power supply failures but are very prone to rebooting on line spikes.

We've also been succesful deploying line filters on some really bad shops. Those cost about 250 a piece.

Regards,

Seth
