Don't buy a D-Link DSL 504 if you want ADSL

Poor hardware:

One of the four RJ45 ports doesn't work

Buggy firmware:

Once the web interface died although we could still ping the box and
needed power-cycling to restore

It seems to think that FTP uses ports 21 & 22 not 20 & 21

You have to reboot the box if you change any settings which then takes
ages to reconnect to the ISP.

Lucky I just have to use it, it doesn't belong to me.

just my 2p
