| [DSL] dsl modem config I messed up my dsl modem it is a comtrend ct5361t. i hit the reset button and the isp said i messed up the authentication config in the modem and said they would charge 50.00 to come out and refix it. but i figured out a way around it. since my wireless router has PPPoE in it i put in my username and password in it. is there anything wrong with that method? and also if anyone knows where i can download the software for that modem so i can fix it, would be appreciated | |

@farmerstel.com | Re: [DSL] dsl modem config I already tried that, and also what the manufacture says to use to access it. i think u have to install the software first or use a usb cable | |

DSL isn't like Cable where the Modem holds speed settings and configuration settings (nothing to hack in DSL Modems). DSL speeds are controlled/set in the DSLAM locked in a cage or a box and the Modem can only connect at the provisioned port rate set in the DSLAM, so you will not get faster speeds unless you call and order/pay for a faster speed plan.

| Re: [DSL] dsl modem config said by ndowens  :the problem is. my pppoe in the modem is messed up so it isn't authenticating. I'd have to say there is another issue as the Firmware holds/stores the PPPoE shim and it holds/stores the Modem code including the Virtual Circuit data aka the VPI/VCI pair. If, and this is a tremendous, huge, super size big if, it would not work with any PPPoE. You likely were trying to set it up while using the Netgear online and that won't work.
You would hook a single PC to the Comtrend and set it up as seen in the User Guide for PPPoE. Reboot the Modem after saving the changes and reboot the PC. Now test to verify all is working before trying to add more PCs.

Burlington, WV | Re: [DSL] dsl modem config If you don't understand what the parameters are to get the current modem you have working what good is it going to do to get a different modem? At some point you are going to have to set it up with the required parameters. | |
