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.

Model: DGND3700v2|N600 WIRELESS DUAL BAND GIGABIT ADSL2+ MODEM ROUTER

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.
