It's a B90-755044-15 Rev. 5A. It shows a manufacture date of 1/2015, |
| 48 |
It is fairly new. I'm not certain but fairly sure it has the ability to |
| 49 |
set a static IP. From what I found before buying it, most people like |
| 50 |
this model. It seems to perform well plus it is IPv6 ready. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
While I couldn't get it to work internet wise, it does power up, the |
| 53 |
menus work and it connects except for the DSL line itself, wrong ISP. I |
| 54 |
also updated the firmware too. When I got the one made for AT&T, it was |
| 55 |
practically plug and play. The biggest thing I did was put in my |
| 56 |
user/password and cut off the wireless since I already have a wireless |
| 57 |
router. The biggest thing, it needs a power adapter and cables. It |
| 58 |
looks new. I don't see a scratch on it anywhere. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
If you can use it, let me know. As long as you have Frontier ISP, it |
| 61 |
should work fine. |
