I believe I have two of these 2701 devices.  Can't confirm until I go on location and look in the box. I have always felt these were under powered devices but hey if you want some then who am I to deny you. Isaac On 2021-01-16 7:32 p.m., Lennart Sorensen via talk wrote: On Sat, Jan 16, 2

Thanks, If I can find a way to get around their access issues, and it is still available , that may be fine. have no issues buying a new one though, worth the investment for me. Wonder if Bell stores have a factory outlet? thanks for providing so much help, Karen On Sat, 16 Jan 2021, Lennart

Hi Len, Is this a bell supported device? I appreciate the offer, but since damaging my land line phone is a risk I cannot physically take, my first goal is to find an exact 2wire unit. I have no need for vdsl as stated. I have an absolute need to find something that lets me use my land line e

Indeed the 2wire 2701 was never a problem, with the home hub units, both editions causing the problem..both have been tried. because bell claims to have no more 2wire models, we are seeking our own. The standard for inclusion is not specific to me. Pdf files present problemsfor many popu

Hi Alvin, The zombie Apocalypse comment made me laugh. I will ask bell for the exact speedstream model I desire replacing. That modem not only had 4 Ethernet ports, but wireless abilities as well. I, like you, are surprised bell has so few options. The aspect may be the two wire requirement

Alvin, Revisiting this issue with questions / comments in context. I am assuming that your phone is powered and not an old style passive line powered phone. This assumption is incorrect, my land line phone does not require electricity to run. If you can try turning off the Bell WIFI and see
