I think you probably can restore your modem to factory settings by the reset button on the modem. If you have the installation disk that came with your Internet Setup from your ISP (assuming here it's ATT), then try using that to reinstall.

Otherwise, call your tech support and have them help you.

Good luck.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23987099 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 12:17:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23985384

The bellsouth 2701HG-G has no software upgrades that I'm aware of

But, as I said earlier, there is not a problem right now. For about a week, everything has been smooth as silk and sweet as honey. Knock on wood.

But, even if it fails again, currently there is NO update listed. So I don't think that was the problem. Talking to the techs last week, we checked this out anyway. No updates on firmware or software. thanks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23976121 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:10:03 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23976093 I don't know that it would help, but I think its worth trying]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23976093 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:01:47 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23976066 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23976066 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:56:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23973520 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23973520 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 10:48:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23972541
Because this business model has a lot of configuration options, it may initially appear intimidating.

You have a bellsouth 2701HG-B it came from the factory with software version 5.29.109.11

If you look at the upgrade history page
192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=J20
It will show the software upgrades

Do you have the wireless mode set to 802.11b/g
Try changing it to 802.11b or 802.11g]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23971193 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:31:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23971147 said by wayjac:

Believe it or not, you'd be better off getting one of the newer 2701 units.

New firmware is on its way, but it most likely will be on 6.X code.

I guess it's nice to know we may have narrowed it down, past the fact that it was just a firmware prob. I was trying to hold out, bite the bullet, and continue keeping an eye on the forums. But it's seeming more and more likely that I'm going to need to downgrade this 2700HG-B to some standard modem, and add some third party router... This modem/router (gateway) thing was fun while it lasted, lol.

It seems obvious that this is a known issue with AT&T/2Wire firmware that is not being addressed upfront.
Yes, it does seem AT&T is aware of these problems but is choosing to stay quiet about them. If you look in the AT&T Direct forum, there are 4 "sticky" posts about DNS problems (including Uverse, which also uses 2wire): »AT&T Direct

The AT&T tech first tried to give me the old "these are just common errors you see when browsing the Internet" line of bull. After I protested, they immediately said "oh, you must manually set your DNS servers on your computers." Fortunately, after doing so, things have seemed to return to normal.

The other problem I have when someone in the house is either downloading or if I'm sending data between computers is the wireless connection failing (if I boot my laptop up then i get a network error if I'm downloading etc)

Perhaps 2Wire would send out the old (5.29.47) firmware to you if you asked them.

Me personally, I'm having problems with my 2700HG-B restarting and/or losing the DSL connection very frequently. I'm looking to just drop the 2Wire gig now and move on to a third party router; either with this thing as the modem--or one of the dummy modems AT&T provides.

I don't see 2Wire or AT&T pushing out a firmware fix soon, this is surely the route i'll take, because the total loss in inter access for 5-10 minutes at a time is getting crazy.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23138199 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:14:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-New-Firmware-23138121
