For Fusion, yes, a modem is included.

For our older AT&T line-share DSL, a modem is offered for sale with the service.

How much does that cost and what is the brand/model?

ZTE W300 WiFi-g router: $59.95 (or $19.95 with new Fusion service)

I have a 2wire 2701hg router from AT&T. Will that do?

Yes, I believe so. It likely will need to be re-configured for use on our network: we use DHCP instead of PPPoE.

I had one of those AT&T 2Wire Gateway modem and once in awhile, it gives me a "gateway error". Not sure what the problem was, could be defective modem, but I went back to my 'ole router/modem setup.

I signed up for Fusion in November (I think). I had an AT&T modem that I used, but that one died a week ago. Can I get the free modem retroactively?

[dane]

No, afraid not, sorry.

(Note that you didn't pay an activation fee - which new customers now do, $35 - close to what you'd spend for a basic modem on Amazon.)
