I don't know if Robert is right, but this is what I have on Verizon DSL.
It includes wireless, which you have to turn off if you don't want to
use it. As far as I know it does not include a firewall, but I could be
wrong. I'd suggest a separate firewall plugged into the DSL modem. From
there into a hub/switch that feeds the rest of your network.
I've had no particular problems with them or the modem. I do
occasionally have the signal drop. In which case, I have to reset the
modem and/or the firewall. Rarely happens, though.
