Question 1

What does the N in "Wireless N-DSL" modem/router mean....I'm clueless.

Accepted Answer

N is just the next wireless standard (IEEE 802.11).  Home WiFi routers have progress from A to B, G, and now N corresponding to speeds of approximately 1.5Mb, 11Mb, 52Mb, and 300Mb.  Note that you will only get the 300Mbps speed if your computer (or other wireless device) also has a wireless-N adapter.  If it is lower speed, this router will be backwards compatible and run at that speed.Also note that while your WiFi in your house may run at 300Mbps, your DSL connection through your phone line will not.  Max speed for this ADSL2 modem are about 10Mbps, so that is about the best you can expect if you are paying for that level of service.

Question 2

Is this compatible with windstream dsl?

Accepted Answer

I have bonded/VDSL Windstream and it does not appear to be working with mine.  Windsteam is charging me $10 a month to rent their modem, and this is the third modem I've purchased now that claims to work with Windstream, that does not.  But, none of them are VDSL compliant.  So you need to check with Windstream to see if your service is bonded/VDSL and if it is make sure you purchase a modem that supports that.

Question 3

support dual-band?

Accepted Answer

If by dual-band you mean 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrums... NO.  This is only 2.4 GHz. However, I have 2 computers, 3 iPods, 2 android phones, an iPad, Xbox, and DVD player all connected and all of which work fine. Only one of those devices even has the ability to take advantage of 5 GHz capability anyway... the iPad. Furthermore, 2.4 GHz often has better signal through walls and floors than 5 GHz.

Question 4

Century Link told us to find a VDSL2 modem to work with a higher speed they offered. Will this one work? No VDSL2 listed, though it came up in search!

Accepted Answer

I asked century link specifically by at least 5 personnel if it would work when I increased the speed.  They all said it would.  And NOW  they say that those people told you wrong.  It does work with them, but if your area only supports  a vdsl transport type for higher speeds than it will not.  I use to by on adsl and when I switched speeds the transport type switched too!  ugh.  so now I have to buy a different modem after I already purchased this one.
