Windstream → Re: 24 Mbps package

192.168.254.254. Username and password both admin. -> Advanced Setup -> WAN Service -> Check remove on ppp0 and ppp1 and then hit remove. Add the first atm0/(4_0_35) then hit next. Select Bridging then hit next, apply/save. Repeat steps for ptm0/(4_0_1). Use the Gb ETH port on back. Be sure to disable wireless or turn it off on front of the modem. This is good for CT-5374 and CT-5600u and CT-3600u.

thanks for the info NcDslTech!! gonna give it a try this evening.

i swapped out my old phone line with CAT3. i'm not sure if it should make a difference in my SNR or just overall stability.

my stats with the new cable are just about identical to the old one:
Downstream Upstream
PhyR Status: Off Off
Line Coding(Trellis): On On
SNR Margin (dB): 8.6 8.0
Attenuation (dB): 0.0 0.0
Output Power (dBm): 15.8 10.4
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 21440 1062

my service has been smoking today though. hopefully it will maintain once the clock strikes 6pm...

like clockwork my service went to crap this evening. scoring 3Mbps down across most "test" sites, however, i'm only getting around 400kbps on Amazon and can not watch a show in 720p... Youtube is like a slideshow set on a 5 second delay......

gonna return this modem tomorrow and go back to my 12/.65 service. if it is still having the 6pm-11pm problems i'll call Time Warner on Monday. i've had Windstream for 4 years and until this Summer it was flawless.................

tried this with the CT-5374 and an Asus RT-N56U

i get an IP address from Windstream but keep getting DNS errors on any website. i initially had selected to obtain the DNS server automatically with no luck. i also tried manually entering Googles with no luck either.

Have tried pinging the Google DNS servers you're using the -t switch? If you're getting frequent timeouts then I would rattle the crap out of WS's cage. If you're not getting timeouts, then use nslookup and try issuing "nslookup astonmartin.com 8.8.4.4" and make sure resolves back to 193.67.164.68. That way you can verify that its actually getting a reply from Google.
