Nighthawk R7000 and Centurylink Actiontec C1000A
This router worked great with my cable modem service. After switching to Centurylink DSL, though, it's not performing well at all. Running straight from the Actiontec C1000A output to the interne...
It will do it, I have a C1000A, C2000A and C2000T... so from experience. I hope that helps, if not we will try something else :). I currently use bridge mode, with my C2000T.
Infact here are the instructions for Transparent Bridging from CL itself:

The WAN settings page and the one page that shows DSL Transport mode, VLAN etc.
Well... I bridged it again and went through the process... now it's working. Got me.
One more thing. Netgear is broadcasting both a 2.4G and 5G signal... do I need to run both? Does it affect performance? If one, which to choose and how to get rid of the other?
I saw that I can set it up for auto-detect on which band to use.
Looks like I'm in business.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Having both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz is actually better, that way you don't saturate one band or the other alone on the router. Have faster devices that support ac use the 5Ghz band and slower devices use the 2.4 Ghz band so that slow devices don't slow down the faster ones.
Glad you got transparent bridging working, enjoy! :smileyhappy:
Thank you Avtella. A quick update... the connection dropped again. I figured there's just one thing left and replaced the patch cable. It came right back on. Maybe that was an add-on factor.
