very simple...you need to take note though that AT&T has a separate password for email and "network" which you use to setup the modem to access AT&T's network.
connect dsl modem to phone jack, turn it on, make sure it synchs...connect pc to ethernet port [1-4, you choose].
fire up IE, type in 192.168.1.254, click enter....it should bring up a screen to let you type in your username [email address] and password [network password]. if you don't have or forgot the network password, call AT&T and get them to give you one.
IF you see and feel it was used in another account before, unplug the modem, press that reset button [don't let go yet], plug power, count to 35, then let go of the reset button.
IMO, you'd be better off with a 3347 than a 2Wire 2701. I wouldn't trade my 3347 for a truckload of 2701.
lastly, your question should be posted in this forum...»
