[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 782686, member: 50033"] Some misc info that I recall, as I have AT&T DSL as well. May or may not be helpful... 1. ImageExtensions, are you sure AT&T won't give you the modem n/c? I have several friends with the same service and they always give you a modem when the tech comes out to install the service. I had a tech out to solve a wiring problem, and he even gave me a spare modem, just in case I needed it later. They hand them out like candy. 2. I recall having to enter my user name and password in the modem settings like is mentioned by the OP. But I also seem to remember needing to enter them in my old D-Link router settings as well. Check and see if there is an option to enter your email and password into your router's configuration settings. 3. Call Linksys tech support. I had my D-Link for 5+ years. Every so often, after a power outage or similar, I couldn't figure out the settings. I would call D-Link. I just told whoever answered that I couldn't connect and they would transfer me to tech support. It never mattered how old the router was. They would ask for the router model, the modem model, and the name of the ISP. They were pretty good about knowing what settings were needed for the different ISPs and modems. 4. AT&T typically uses the IP 192.168.1.254 for configuration of the modem. Enter it in your browser while connected and you find all kinds of info regarding your modem, account settings, IP addresses etc. [/QUOTE]
