"both lines"? Does your "30 mbps through century link" service use a
bonded _pair_ of phone lines?

I know nothing, but if the system were sufficiently adaptable, then
using one of the two lines might give you about half the speed that
you'd get if both lines were used.

_Which_ "the static IP address that was in" _which_ "the Netgear
manual"? Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number,
and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "View
Information About the Modem and the Internet Port Settings". The DSL
statistics like "Link Rate" might be interesting. If that says
something like, say, "16000 Kbps" (downstream), then I would not be
amazed if you did not see 30Mb/s (from half your bonded line-pair?).

I know nothing, but that's not what the DM200 User Manual says. Page
69:
IMPORTANT: After you disable the modem's routing features and the
modem functions as a DSL modem only, you can access the modem only
through a fixed IP address,which is 192.168.5.1. [...]
