<title>2wire 2700HG wireless connection keeps flickering on and off</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23376844</link>
<description><![CDATA[My problem is that the wireless connection is not stable. It connects for about 15mins and disconnects repeatedly and frequently. There are 3 connections. 2 of them are cables - they are fine. My only problem is with the wireless.

<title>2Wire Modem Issues - Solid Red Lights</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23379549</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone  :)

My modem has recently started to play up. On warm days it seems to cut out quite a bit. It is only about 6 months old. What was happening at first was it was continuously restarting itself. The lights would slowly go green and then all of a sudden they would all switch off except for the power light which would start to flash green before loading all of the other lights again.

Just yesterday it seemed to get worse. The lights on the modem went red after a couple minutes of resetting the modem. I tried resetting it multiple times but it was doing the same thing over and over. The lights stayed solid red until I'd reset it again  :(

Could anyone help me out here? I'm thinking the modem is faulty but like I said earlier it was working fine up until just recently. Should I replace it or is there a way this can be resolved?

Thanks  :)]]></description>

<title>Changing IP Address?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23369948</link>
<description><![CDATA[I used to have a speedstream 5200, bell sent this new 2701HG-G Gateway as an "upgrade".

On my old router page of the speed stream, I was able to goto a page with a "connect" or "disconnect" button beside my IP address, reconnecting in this method would request and be designated a new IP from bell. It was very convenient.

Where is this similar setting functionality on the new 2701HG-G Gateway? the closest i could find was "Restart the Home Networking Modem" which took forever; in contrast to "disconnect" button, then it turning to "connect" on my old Router/settings page.

So.. tips? any custom firmware? or am I just not seeing it in every page of this router page?

Thanks in advanced!]]></description>

<title>AT&#x26;amp;T 2701HG-B Wireless Speed issue.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23360526</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey there,

I just moved into a new house, and put in my 2701HG-B to use with my AT&T Elite service, and man the speed is just absymal. There's a few other people living here but even when no one else is active on the network, my speeds according to speedtest.net are still around:
 
1.3 download, .16 upload, 565 ping at it's FASTEST

and that's like literally sitting right next to the router. Once I actually go into my office, it's slower than that.

Sometimes the connection drops as well, then restarts and i'll be brought to a page that says:

Resolution Successful
The error has been successfully resolved.  Please close down your browser and restart it to continue browsing online.

this happens multiple times. 

Anyway this just won't do, i can't afford to spend 20 minutes sending a 3 meg file to a client you know?

AT&T had me reset the router twice I think, then had me take the filter off the phone line which made a little bit of a difference, but i'm still having crazy issues. 

I attached a screenshot of the DSL Diagnostics.

Here is the log, which for some reason is only showing information up until November 13th.. not sure if thats correct or what:

nevermind, one of my roommates was hosting like 9000 torrents. damnit! blasted torrents!]]></description>

<title>2Wire i38HG as a DSL Modem/Router?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23358665</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a 2 Wire i38HG which looks just like the 2701HG, but of course is not.  I can't find out much about this piece of equipment.  I did see the pdf file on the 2 Wire site showing it used with an "outside/inside" telephone interface.  My unit is marked with the at&t logo with a S/N 450712000377.  I haven't been able to access the setup screens via the normal 2701 access.  In fact my computer cannot contact the unit via TCP/IP obtain IP address automatically.  I can change TCP/IP to 192.168.1.254/255.255.255.0 and my computer LAN connections reports 100 Mbps.  But with this there is no communication with the i38HG.

I am very much a novice and readily admit I don't know what I am doing and this unit may well not work as a modem/router.

Any comment will be appreciated.]]></description>

<title>2 Wire 2701HG (Windstream) to be used on Embarq</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23178778</link>
<description><![CDATA[I bought a Windstream 2701HG hoping to use it on Embarq DSL.  I googled for all the help I could find and still can't get it to work properly.  It does contact the Internet and I can use Eudora to get my Embarq email.  I can't do anything with any browser as it goes to Winstream for activation.  No matter how many windows you open - all go to Winstream for activation.  I know nothing about routers.

Any suggestions are welcome.  MDC pasted below:

<title>2Wire 2701HG-B Wireless Access Issues</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23340950</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am currently unable to connect to my 2Wire router with either my Mac BookPro nor my XP laptop as of around 10am CT this morning.  Prior to that i had no issues.  (Desktop is accessing internet just fine via ethernet / DSL).

I noticed this at 10am when i couldn't connect on my Apple.  I fired up my XP lappy and got a redirect to a 2Wire page instructing me to set up my router again.  Basically it was walking me through adding a password to the router box.  I did that was nearing the end of the configuration and then the page failed on me and i've been unable to return since.

So, i called ATT tech support, went through all the basic check steps and when they ran out of ideas was sent to Support+ who wants to charge me $30 for a basic diagnostics and $130 for them to come out if they can't determine it by the diag.  So here i am.  The last step before i just go out and buy a friggen new router for a better price.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.]]></description>

<title>2wire 1000sw DHCP Class changed, how to change it back?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23271753</link>
<description><![CDATA[Windows Vista Home Premium on wireless laptop
2wire 1000sw
xbox
Onkyo TX-NR807

So... first of all newbie here, please excuse any non-technical terms.

So my IP for my network used to be 172.16.0.1.  Then I got a router to use at mom's house for wireless.  I hooked it up at home to test it and also to see if I could use it temporarily to hook up my xbox and Onkyo to the network at the same time until I got myself what I needed.  It came up with the IP 192.168.1.0.  It is a Dlink  WPN824v3.  It wasn't working how I wanted, maybe because I ended up with two routers?

So now I haven't had the Dlink hooked up and the 2wire is using the 192 IP.  Googling has led me to believe that I am now on a lower class setting for IP ranges.  I don't know if this matters at all but it seems to me I'd like to get it back to what it was before.  Or is this better?

I don't know if I changed anything to make this happen.  I was playing around with port forwarding to get TVersity and xbox to work together.  Now I'm trying to get my Onkyo network working so I can use the internet radio function and I cannot get it to work.  It is coming up with the 192 IP as well.

So I figure I should get my router back to the original class/IP settings, can anyone tell me how to do this?  And does it even matter?

Thanks.]]></description>

<title>my 2wire 2701 HG-D is buggy, reboots when download Netflix</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23344523</link>
<description><![CDATA[This is on Qwest, running firmware QT04-6.1.5.48

My 2wire 2701 HG-D is buggy, and reboots whenever I attempt to download a Netflix movie. I have the streaming disk for my PS3, and I have a Roku. Whenever I attempt to download a movie from Netflix over either device, the 2wire router IMMEDIATELY crashes and reboots.

Another bug is that the 'DHCP Settings' screen upder 'IP Adressing' will always give an error if you attempt to DISABLE the DHCP server. It just says 'ERROR", in a red
box.

Another bug is that you can't set the static DNS Information in the 'WAN IP Address' page under 'IP addressing'. It won't even let you input anything into that field.]]></description>
