     I looked this afternoon to be sure.  And your price is only 2X what 
I paid with shipping..

     I hope that the Netgear Broadband ADSL2 Plus Modem 
(DM111PSP-100NAS)  is only a
modem and that could be the case as I was sold a ATT (Netgear) 7550 as a 
modem but it
  seems to be another wifi cum router at least in the incarnation I 
received and yet I see it
described in advrts. online as a modem/router/WiFi.  Well I can get my 
money back on
that one if i decide to return it.  If the DM111 is not as advertised I 
can probably get
a rebate applicable to a used DM200.
     This is one industry that seems bent on confusing the consumer with 
the same model
names applied to devices with differing features.
     Ahh!  I checked online and found a manual that describes with 
pictures and this is a ADSL
modem.
