CenturyLink compatible?
Does anyone know if this particular modem/router is compatible with CenturyLink 40Mbps service? I've had this router less than a year and would reallylike to NOT have to replace it if I don't have to, but it's not currently transmitting a WiFi signal, now that I've upgraded to a faster speed.
And if it IS compatible, what do I have to do/reset/etc. to make it work? Thanks.

Re: CenturyLink compatible?
If your settings are supposed to be ADSL it should be fine;
- ISP Protocol: PPPoE
- Authentication Protocol: CHAP
- Enter the PPP Username ^
- Enter the PPP Password ^
- Line Mode: Auto
- Transfer Mode: ATM
- Set the VPI to: 0
- Set the VCI to: 32
- Encapsulation: LLC/SNAP
- Static IP address: NOT checked
- MTU: 1492
- Select Apply/Save
- Wait up to 3 minutes for the 'DSL and INT/Internet' lights to turn solid green
If the settings for your installation are VDSL you might have a problem;
- ISP Protocol: PPPoE
- Authentication Protocol: CHAP
- Enter the PPP Username ^
- Enter the PPP Password ^
- Line Mode: Auto or 8A
- Transport Mode/Encapsulation: PTM - tagged
- Set the VLAN: 201
- Static IP address: NOT checked
- MTU: 1492
- Select Apply/Save
- Wait up to 3 minutes for the 'DSL and INT/Internet' lights to turn solid green
Centurylink tech support should be able to tell you which of these 2 settings types you will need. I got this info from the following link and the page also has the info to contact Centurylink tech support.
