G'Day Walter and Wamugers, It works but only just,it was in my opinion released before it was ready. It was not delivered when they promised, in fact I collected it from the freight company, and there was confusion with the charges.After waiting up to 30 minutes to contact iiNet support, call back could not work because the unit could not receive calls. I borrowed a brain fryer and spent three and a half hours with support on not so busy day (thanks Rodney) in Sydney, who finally got the unit to work after a fashion.Apparently there are bugs in the firmware according to iiNet and Belkin are working on it. Both Belkin and iiNet flatly refuse to supply any printed documentation on environmental grounds obviously the PDF's are a cheaper option as befits the product. Modem PDF is 106 pages and is essential to the set up process as the modem does not 'talk' to iiNet as they claim.The handset PDF is 31 pages long and Belkin expect everyone to have a working duplex printer. There is a long delay with outgoing calls, and the call keeps breaking up.Incoming calls when I can get them also break up and there is no way,even following the PDF instruction to get the ring tone above a faint buzz. The handset is unpleasantly hot all the time and I wonder about the safety aspect with the batteries. I have reverted to my previous Belkin/Ozemail wireless router/modem which has given good service the last four and a half years while we settle the legal points of the warranty implied.
