In the early 2010's we had their piece of shit rented SMC D3G modem for static ip's at our office. We couldn't figure out why the net would stall and we'd get huge packetloss. Dozens of support calls, lots of finger pointing. Years later, it would come out Intel was incompetent at designing modems [1]. (as shown again with the more recent iPhone designs) This rental was required as even the approved modems couldn't be provisioned for statics, later on at other locations we just bought Motorola (now arris) SB6121's since dynamics were all that were needed for those locations and really never had an issue.
