   So my ASUS AAM6000EV purchased second hand from Solwise is not ideal,
does not do everything, may have security issues, but does seem to keep
working. This may be helped by my location not much more than 1 mile from my
local exchange, relatively new ducted cables, and a full BT spec faceplate
filter. Perhaps I should just let sleeping dogs lie.
