Firmware update for Motorola nvg510
Any one know when a firmware update will be available for the motorola nvg510. It's very frustrating piece of ###. The constant robbing of my browsers home page (Firefox and IE) because the device can't keep connection to the DNS servers 99.99.99.53 and 153. It has gotten very annoying. Does anyone have any ideas how to keep the stupid thing from hijacking my home page url ??? "http://www.google.com/cgi-bin/redirect.ha" (this takes me to a bogus error message about phone lines) takes a lot of wrangling to get it away from the device..

Thanks, that is what I'm doing. (using a different DNS address) and a static address. But when ever the device loses DNS, can't make a connection, it hijacks my home page url. (redirects me to a diagnostic page) It's stupid and you can't change the DNS setting in the motorola.

This has been an ongoing problem with the NVGs. Why AT&T has not addressed it, well, they're AT&T.
I would get a different modem/gateway. From what they offer, the Pace 4111N looks pretty good and have not heard much negative about it. It also looks to have the best wireless out of any of AT&T's offerings.

I just switched from the NVG510 to the older Motorola 2210-02-1ATT IP-DSLAM modem and my connectivity and VPN issues went away.

Best bet right now if you can find one is the 2210-02-1ATT for IP-DSL. Unfortunately the 4111N is not compatible with IP-DSL right now, though a version is in the works from what I've heard with an unknown release date. When it comes to the 2210 though it is being phased out because the company wants to get send out devices that already have the ATA included and are wireless out of the box.

This helped me with my issues - There seems to be an issue with the DNS servers that ATT uses - I changed mine to google DNS public servers and all is well -

Hi Junior,
You think the Motorola 2210-02-1ATT IP-DSLAM is a better choice than the NVG510? If so, do you know the best place to get the AT&T model?
Thanks!
