Windstream says router is interfering with dsl modem
I signed up with windstream dsl internet service yesterday. I have a netgear n150 wnr1000 router and a speed stream 4200 dsl modem. Everything was fine up until an hour ago. Service was really slow. T...
Then, your Speedstream is functioning as a router. You will have to pick one of the two options I provided in my first reply.
I set the speedstream up into bridge mode. It had me reboot the speedstream which I did. I have not had internet since. No wifi and no wired Internet from the netgear router. There is an icon on the front of the router that is under the wifi icon that has always been blue and now it is orange. It looks like a a sideways i with a partial circle under it. I tried unplugging the power to the modem and to the router, waiting 15 seconds, plugging the power back up to the modem, waiting for the dsl light to come back on and then plugged the router back up. Still nothing. Also the activity light on the modem that has always flickered is no longer on.
If your ISP uses PPP to log into their Internet service, then you may have had to transfer the PPP settings from the modem to the router. Hopefully, you made note of them. If not, call your ISP and ask them for help.
Or you can try resetting the modem to factory defaults to return it to router mode. It may be easier to set up the WNR1000 as an AP. This way you don't touch your Speedstream.
