For what is worth @tent PM'd me with this:

 

whot a load of rot
re tomshardware.com

you cant use Asus Merlin on a dsl modem it dose not work merlin only makes it for routers only he is using dsl

craig

 

A public reply would be more useful - and yes - it appears it doesnt support DSL.

 

He's been sending me PMs as well telling me I should have bought a brand new one, etc. A brand new one ($389) wasn't within budget.
