Re: DSL Info Needed..

You already have a wireless router that you have been using with your Comcast HSI service so there is no need to waste money on additional networking equipment.

After you have properly configured your DSL modem and wireless router your wireless router will be in charge and doing all the work. Your DSL modem will be acting as a "Bridge Modem" and will only be modulating and demodulating the DSL signal. The only reason that you would need to check your modem's "DSL Statistics" page would be if you are having DSL synchronisation problems and need to troubleshoot these problems.

.
.
.

Disconnect your wireless router from your computer and cable modem and set it aside for latter.

Follow the instructions provided with you DSL modem and installation kit to setup your DSL service and activate your account.

Make sure to write down and store in a safe place your FastAccess DSL login user name and password for future reference. You will be using this information latter while configuring your modem for "Bridged Ethernet" mode and configuring your wireless router for "PPPoE" mode. Your user name must be in the format of username@bellsouth.net and your password is case sensitive.

When you are finished with setting your FastAccess DSL service up you can check your modem's "DSL Statistics" page at the address below.

I have to go because I have been called out on a job.

You do not need to buy any equipment because you already have what you need for the job at hand.

Please check out the Motorola FAQ for more information about the Motorola Netopia 2210-02-1006.

Burris, I helped some fellow with that same USR 5461 awhile back.

He did not have his own thread though and he replied to a problem within someones thread.

I'm going to see if I can hunt it up, but it may take me awhile.

I have been having all kinds of problems with my DSL and I might get knocked off-line, but I will come back to help you.

I have been on the phone with the Help Desk and DSG for an hour and a half working on my problems with no luck, but at least this time my DSL was messing up the whole time I was on the phone with them so they at least know I'm not crazy just making up problems.

I will be back later.

USR 5461 PPPoE mode.
I found that reply to that other guy with the USR 5461 but it won't be any help because his USR was pooped out.

I went to the USR Support site for your USR 5461 and loaded the simulator for it and it seems as if it will be real easy to set up for "PPPoE" mode.

I will post up a picture for you with the settings for FastAccess DSL on that USR 5461 router.

Here is the support site for your router.

You can use this generic FAQ below for your setup to give you the idea of how this is done.

I have some pictures to go with this FAQ for the Motorola 2210 "Bridged Ethernet" part and I will attach then in a Zip file.

»AT&T Southeast Forum FAQ » How do I setup a Motorola 2210 modem with a generic third-party router?

You can use the USR 5461 picture with the generic router part of the FAQ.

Maybe this can help you some.

I will straiten up this mess of replies and put everything in this reply so that it will make a little better sense later on tonight.

I really do thank you for all the effort you put forth..

I've been in the router and am familiar with the PPPoE settings even though I haven't used them with this particular box, but you presented a very clear picture.

I'm supposed to be connected next Wed and hopefully I will get the modem before then. My curiosity keeps wanting me have access to the modem. I suppose because with Comcast, I was able to show them the error of their ways and push them to make it work. Since I have some friends in the tech ops and tech director areas, I got special service.
By that. I mean that after the tech support for ordinary mortals finished reading their reboot and re-install OS scripts, I would call up one of my friends and they would send out a 'real' tech who would look at what I showed him and would get the field maintenance to correct the problems, not only for me, but for the entire complex on my feed.
I always knew what was going on in my area as my friends who depend on me for 'free' support with their PCs and internet, would call and complain to me, as Comcast didn't want to do too much.

Thanks again...and we will be in touch..
