So now I have a Netgear modem, type DM200 and the Nighthawk for sale.
Do not underestimate the value of a second hand DM200.
Something freaky has happened in recent months. DSL modems have all but vanished and the prices of those left have gone mad.
The DM200 is not two or three times what I paid for mine. I tried to buy another one and gave up.
I currently use a D6400 in modem only mode.
By the way, did you ensure that your DM200 was also in modem only mode? It does some basic routering and needs to be tweaked. That one has baffled more than on person before now.

There are quite a few DM200s currently on ebay at prices from £20 (inc postage) with new ones, never used, at around £60. Maybe I'll ask £40 for it.
The Nighthawk modem can cost over £200 for a 'new' one, second hand ones are around £120, so maybe I'll ask £100 for mine.
That's for after Christmas, as I'm busy enjoying my new BB1. It's a wonderful piece of kit.
Thanks for all the helpful comments and a Happy Christmas to you all.
