<title>2Wire or Macbook problem. Help!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23780698</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have searched all over trying to find a simple answer for my problem with no luck. Lots of problems but none just like mine. I'm a mechanic and know almost nothing about computer issues, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I've had AT&T DSL with a 2wire 2701HG-B for about 2 years. The 2 wire has worked flawlessly and we've had excellent service. I have a no-name desktop wired in, my wife has a HP laptop using the wireless, and my college student daughter had a Compaq (and sometimes her WII game) using the wireless. Life was good. And then, the daughter had to "upgrade" to a MacBook Pro (snow leopard). Our online surfing quality of life went down the drain. When she gets home and connects with the MacBook the 2wire "reboots". The internet light goes out and the DSL light flashes red until it goes through the sequence of re-connecting. Same as it would do if powered down and back up.  It does this over and over and over with a minute or two between resets. Rarely it will go 5 minutes without resetting again. The 2wire box is right next to my desktop so I can see the madness. I spend more time waiting for it to reset than I do using it. As soon as she disconnects the MacBook we're rock solid and life is good again. I've had her search for an answer, but she's probably only looking at Apple forums because she tells me the 2wire box is antiquated and obsolete and needs replaced to work with the "new" technology her MacBook uses. I tell her anything that expensive should be smart enough to work on older systems. Our system is perfect until the Mac shows up. Common sense tells me if it looks like duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then......... Anyway, does anyone have a solution for this? Do I really need to buy a different modem/router or is there something that can be done to that annoying Mac to make it play nice with the 2 wire I've got? Thank you for any and all help.]]></description>

<title>2701HG-B, 5.29.109.5 Firmware, &#x26;amp; WPA2 Wireless Issues</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23772867</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello:

I have had my 2Wire 2701HG-B Gateway for over two years, without any issues, using firmware version 5.29.47, until September 2009.  In September, AT&T pushed firmware version 5.29.109.5 and it messed things up.  Specifically, since this firmware update, I have been unable to connect my Linksys/Cisco WET200 wireless ethernet bridge to the 2701HG-B, via wireless, using WPA2 security.  This worked, flawlessly for the past two years, prior to the firmware update from AT&T.  Nothing else has changed, except the firmware update.  I have read of many issues, regarding the 5.29.109.5 firmware update.  Is anyone else experiencing WPA2-based wireless issues with the 2701HG-B, using this or any other version of firmware, especially after things used to work, perfectly?  

Thank you for your input.

<title>New Firmware</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23137984</link>
<description><![CDATA[Has anyone noticed that the new firmware  for the 2700HG-B (5.29.109.5) is causing some sort of DNS problem?  When I am browsing the web, on any site, my web browser will sometimes take forever to load a page. After it's done it will say "Server Not Found," and I have to then click try again to get it to work, and it does, but it's a pain, and a waste of time.  I've tried using different browsers and computers, but the same thing happens. Is there any work around for this? I'm really getting tired of it.]]></description>

<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23460580</link>
<description><![CDATA[Having spent 6 hours crawling all over the internet AND speaking to 4 "techs" (including level two) at AT&T, no one can tell me how to enable NAT loopback in the router.

This site is very clear this is possible
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NAT_Loopback_Routers

<title>DSL Instability 2Wire 1800HG</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23754475</link>
<description><![CDATA[I recently began having DSL Instability issue. DSL drops out once a day. Once it drops out, I unplug the 2Wire 1800 HG modem, wait 10 min. or so and plug it back in. It boots and the Power Light, LAN light go "Green". Broadband Light Flashes "Green" for about 3 or 4 min. and then Turns solid "Orange". If I walk away for 30 min or so, the Broadband light turns "Green" and I have internet. It use to never take this long to boot up the modem. I can't find anything else that havs change. Called ATT support and repeated the steps with them. They said they test were all good.

I currently have the modem plug straight into the wall. Here is the last reading I got:

DSL Line (Wire Pair) Line 1 (inner pair)
Protocol: G.DMT
Downstream Rate: 3008
Upstream Rate: 512
Channel: Fast
Current Noise Margin:15.0 dB (Downstream), 21.0 dB (Upstream)
Current Attenuation:28.0 dB (Downstream), 16.0 dB (Upstream)
Current output Power: 3.1 dB (Downstream), 3.8 dB (Upstream)

Any suggestions?]]></description>

<title>2wire Default/2700HG-E firmware?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23707371</link>
<description><![CDATA[So I've picked up one of the Telus 2700HG-E from a friend of mine that a Telus tech gave him (said his current one is going to die soon so gave him a second) I'm running a Uniserve connection so figured I'd give it a try and now have it up and running.

I'm playing around with it now to see if I can get anymore features out of it since it's pretty locked up from Telus (can't see the modem/ADSL stats without the MDC password, which I did manage to find) I've flashed the heck out of the thing and gotten it to work (tried the BT 5.29.107 flash and the Singtel 5.29.117.3 flash found online). I'm basically just trying to see which of the FW's has the best interface to play around with feature-wise.

Has anyone heard of a 'default' firmware for the 2700HG series? something that is brand-less or perhaps just forwards to the MDC for the web GUI? I have a feeling it doesn't exist but with many of the companies no longer using this modem/router (I know Telus has stopped) it's a wonder why there wouldn't be something default for those people that still want to use them on different providers/networks as Telus seems to be handing them out for free now.

Or if anything, has anyone come across the Telus 2700HG-E firmware so I can flash this back to where it started?

I'm not expecting much as a couple days of searching online and forums has revealed nothing but who knows...]]></description>
