No not anymore. The 2wire modems have now been discontinued. At this time the replacement is only being given out to Telus TV customers.

1) Log into your Siemens Gateway by clicking on this link »192.168.1.254
2) At the top right of that page, click on the link that says 'Login'.
3) Log in with the role of 'admin' (without the quotes and all lowercase).
4) Unless it has been changed on your side already, the default password is 'telus' (without the quotes and all lowercase).
5) Click the OK button to go to the next (setup) page.
6) Click on 'Advanced Settings' link, and then select 'Wireless Network' on the left of the page.
7) Beside 'Channel', set the dropdown menu to something different that what it is now.
There is no universally 'better' channel but some might work better than others.
You will have to test and experiment to find out which channel works best for your location.
8) Beside 'Power', set the dropdown menu to 'Highest'.
9) Now hit the 'Apply' button towards the bottom right of it.

Once you have finished the instructions above, your Siemens may need to reboot its self. Please reboot your wireless computers as well ? to refresh the connections in their entirety. Once you return from the computer reboot, you should notice an improvement in the speed of your wireless connection.

If you want a some-what full manual please check out this post »Re: D-Link DVA G3810BN Gateway Please note not all the feature and functions in that manual are usable as Telus has made modifications to the firmware.

Please note at this time the passwords on Dlink are not changeable. That will be coming in the next firmware upgrade.

Hey all, just a quick PSA for all the pepole who are looking at (or are currently) running a Speedtouch in front of the D-Link DVA-G3810.

We just had a huge mail sent at work explaining why the Speedtouch to the D-Link is sub-optimal.

The TL;DR reason why is that both the D-Link and the Speedtouch advertise a 192.168.1.254 address to the set top boxes. This also causes a huge issue when the D-Link is attempting to contact the servers for the newest firmware updates. If you don't do it right, your d-link will be stuck with an old, buggy firmware version that will not allow you to view some channels or groups of channels.
------------------------------------------
PERSONAL OPINION AHEAD!!!

If you demand having a Speedtouch as your modem for whatever reason, (and only if you own it), your best bet is to flash the firmware to a non-TELUS version, and then delete the 192.x.x.x static route and use only the 10.x.x.x route to access the interface etc.

If you brick the Speedtouch by doing it wrong, it's 100% your own fault. I will not entertain posting the Firmware flashing method or files here for anyone, no matter your level of expertise. If you need the Speedtouch for your setup, you'll have the skills to search for and find the resources you need.

Also, if you brick the Speedtouch and you do not own it, good luck getting a replacement from us (TELUS).

Thank you to Glynn023 for posting this information
