Q100 used with ADSL or ADSL2 ?

Anyone here used Q100 with ADSL or ADSL2 or ADSL2+ ?
If so, can you share your results, please.
Yes, I know it is not supported.
Thanks

I have the Q100, and I believe that it is a VDSL2 modem only. I could be wrong, but that is what I believe. There are plenty of ADSL modems available, through a lease via Qwest, or on eBay and Craigslist.

Thanks, I was hoping for a reply from someone who actually used or attempted to use one for ADSL . . .

Thanks, but I'm specifically interested in Q100, not q1000.

Re: Q100 used with ADSL or ADSL2 ?

Q100 is a Vdsl2 modem. The actiontec Q1000 is Vdsl2 or Adsl2. I tried mine for about 5 days before my line was converted to Vdsl2 & it worked fine for me.

Is yours a Q100 or a Q1000?
Thanks

Hi Hardly, Rich here with CenturyLinkHelp; Just had this converstation with a few of our top tier support techs and this is the consensis: "on paper and per our guidlines the Q100 is not capable of supporting ADSL/ADSL2; but it has been known to be working both ways even though it is technically a VDSL2 modem only." So it is a vague yes it is possible it will work, but it is not supported under that use. Please let us know if you need anything further.

Thanks Rich, I appreciate your efforts.
I was aware that the Q100 is both:
1. unsupported by Qwest for uses other than VDSL2
2. theoretically capable of ADSL/ADSL2 operation
I was hoping to find someone with real world experience using ADSL/ADSL2 with this modem.
Thanks again.

yes but my point is that the q100 and q1000 are vdsl modems, so if the q1000 works with adsl, then perhaps so does the q100. I would assume by this time you have plugged it in to see if it syncs?

The point is that the Q100 and the Q1000 are made by two different manufacturers, utilizing different chipsets. The only thing they share is the Q in their name.
The purpose of this thread is that I do not have a Qwest line, and am unable to test.
