Speedstream 5100 + D-Link WBR 1310Hi there and thanks for reading. I have been using the subject equipment with AT&T for several years. Recently moved and switched to CenturyLink. The exact same configuration would not work. If I do not connect the router i.e the modem directly connected to the computer, then I have internet. If I connect the router, then I do not.
I used to have a usr and psw with att, apparently I do not need it anymore with this ISP.
Is there any way to get the router to work with this ISP and the rest of my equipment? Do I need a new/different modem and/or router?
Thanks much for your help. Marc |

Describe the modem:
• 4 lights on panel - 5100a • 5 lights on panel - 5100b
The SS5100a is purely a bridged device, and should need no configuration. I believe it should find the correct VPI/VCI pair automatically; but, if not you will have to dig around the AT&T forums for instructions on FTP access.
The SS5100b can be configured either for PPPoE on the modem, PPPoE on the computer/router, or bridge mode. If CenturyLink is not using PPPoE, then you will have to bridge the SS5100b modem, and set the router for "Dynamic IP Address (DHCP)" mode. |

Login to the router and change the WAN connection type from PPPOE to DHCP. That should fix your problem. |
