It is proven to be working with AT&T. As long as you have your PPPoE login & password (which is given by AT&T). And, you can also try these additional settings under 'ADSL Settings'.
Multiplexing Method: LLC-based
VPI: 0
VCI: 35
Take note that you should have a 'SOLID green' DSL light before you start configuring the device. |
I agree with the need to change the VPI setting from the default of "8" to "0". That helps to make the DGN2000 connect to the DSL line. 35 is already the default for VCI in the USA.
I must say, this DGN2000 router/modem seems to be a bit touchy, because once you reboot it or power it off, it usually takes quite a while to get the green DSL light again. In fact, this is why I quit using it about 5 years ago when I first bought it. But my ATT 2Wire modem just died and I needed another modem to get back online, so I figured that I would try the older DGN2000 router once again on my ATT DSL network.
The part that I disagree with above is the last line, that says "you should have a SOLID green DSL light before you start", because on my modem, I can't even get a sold green DSL light, until I change the VCI to 0. Mine won't even connect otherwise to the DSL signal.
The other major pitfall that people are likely to make is that with ATT, you need to enter your complete email address, not just the first part. Also, the password that you need to use to connect to the Internet is NOT the same as your ATT email password! There is another PIN code that you need to get from ATT, to enter into the password field of the Network Settings page. This PIN can also be retrieved by logging into your ATT account from another working Internet connection with your ATT email and email password. This really was a bit convoluted, and that's why I took the time to post a comment here after spending a whole day figuring it out.
