The new activation software is called the "walled garden", and is very similar to the old setup disk. The biggest difference is now the customers username/password is no longer held by the modem, but is held by the DSL Aggregator [sp], located at the Redback Router in any main exchange. This is supposed to allow the helpdesk to log into your modem to see actual trouble issues. In the future, after the username is created, hit cancel, and the software will skip all software downloads. Right now only IE, on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Vista will operate with the walled garden 4200.

The 2Wire 2701HG is our home networking product. It was selected quite simply because other ISP's have used it with great success and it works well with our internal walled garden app. and it has alot of TR-069 functionality built in. Its just a simple wireless router with an integrated ADSL2+ modem.
You ask what does it really mean?
You will notice Walled Garden is actually TR-069 - CPE WAN Management Protocol from the Broadband Forum
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TR-069
quote:
TR-069 (short for Technical Report 069) is a DSL Forum (which was later renamed as Broadband Forum) technical specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of end-user devices.
As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP based protocol it provides the communication between CPE and Auto Configuration Servers (ACS). It includes both a safe auto configuration and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In the course of the boom of the broadband market, the number of different Internet access possibilities grew as well (e.g. modems, routers, gateways, Set-top box, VoIP-phones). At the same time the configuration of this equipment became more complicated -- too complicated for the end-users. For this reason the TR-069 standard was developed.
