I have a Siemens SpeedStream 5360 ADSL modem that I am running on AT&amp;T's DSL network (measured at about 2.4mps downstream). &nbsp;I'm guessing it's two years old or so. &nbsp;I recently upgraded my service and got a free after rebate SpeadStream 4100B modem. <br />

My question is whether there are any significant improvement (apart from the smaller size) of this newer modem. Is it faster? &nbsp;More reliable connection? &nbsp;If not, I'm probably just going to ebay the new one.

Newer DSL Modem significantly better than an older one??

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).
