Plano, TX | 2Wire 1000HW + airlink wireless router setup tips Hello all,
I am a newbe to the DSL modem setup. I am about to setup 2Wire HomePortal 1000HW DSL modem for a friend of mine. Currently she has a cable modem with airlinkplus wireless router and everything is working fine. Here is the scoop.
The DSL modem package that she received has only the CD and booklet on how to install the software in the CD. There is no other documentation. The thing is we do not want to install any software on my friend's computer. I just want to connect the computer to airlink wireless router and the router to the 2Wire 1000HW modem. Looks like the HomePortal 1000HW is a wireless modem. Since, there was no documentation on how to setup the HomePortal, Can any of you guys point me to a place where I can manually set up the HomePortal 1000HW without having to install the software that came with the DSL package.
Also, if any of you guys have gone through similar setup and can share any do's and dont's, I would really appreciate it. I just want to setup the HomePortal 1000HW without having to change nor install anything on my friend's computer just the way I have done for the cable mode.
Thanks in advance for the all help. |

boils down to - plug in homeportal, get registered with SBC... you friend will have to get a username from sbc, so you'll either need to run thru setup off the homeportal disk on one computer, or go thru reg server at »support.sbcglobal.net/register... with 'real' username/password, you can simply go thru homeportal setup at »home/setup
setting up wireless is simply a matter of getting your wireless system to see the homeportal's network, then connect to that network and enter the 2wire's WEP security key from the bottom of the homeportal unit (a 10-digit number) |

| Great, wish I'd seen this post a couple days ago....
I know what the guys wants, but I couldn't get anyone to simply tell me, 172.16.0.1? I think that's the default address of the 1000hw.
How's Mesa treating you, lived in Phoenix along time ago?
Another thing, it is possible to decline nearly everything on the CD, then all it does is hijacks you homepage settings and creates a "connection" shortcut. |

Gilbert, AZ | Mesa's not too bad, as it's starting to cool off for the fall... 
now, like you said, you can decline to install all the extra SBC/Yahoo stuff if you want, or you could just get what you need off the website for drivers or whatever... i usually just put the cd in and hold down 'shift' to stop the autoplay. then just use the explore option to get what you need off the cd.
but you want to make sure you're using the SBC keycode from the 2wire keycode page: »www.2wire.com/keycode as the keycode tells the homeportal who you're connecting to, and if SBC starts offering those nifty optional services, you will only get them if you're using their keycode... just one of those things... |

is there any way to see some logfile on this router?
i have it (thru SBC) and generally have no problems with it, but I have a feeling that I read somewhere that you can set up its firewall to watch for possible attacks....
comments? tips?
thanks! |
