Can a 2-Wire DSL Modem Be Reprogrammed?
Normally, a 2-wire DSL modem is used when you subscribe to AT&T or in many areas SWB DSL Internet service. The modem is a proprietary brand specifically designed for these carriers. Therefore, if a home user decides to set up a home network either using a multi-port router (also known as a hub) or a wireless router, the 2-wire modem has to be reconfigured. Connect the modem directly to your computer, leaving out the router for now. Log in to the modem to access its setup features. Open a browser and type in the following URL: “http://gateway.2wire.net/management.” If this doesn’t work, your model may still be accessed using one of these two IP addresses in the browser address bar: “http://192.168.0.1” or “http://192.168.0.2.” Click on the “Broadband Link” menu and then the “Configuration” option. Disable the PVC search function. Also in the configuration menu, set the VPI value to 0 and the VCI to 35. These values can vary depending on your service provider, so note your original value
