<title>2wire 2701 modem/router</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23403288</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am setting up a small GATEWAY tower with a GIGABYTE brand wireless card to connect to a 2wire brand 2701 HGB. From past experiences I know that I NEED to DISABLE the security in the router. I am using a DLINK brand router with security disabled with a NETGEAR card. It will NOT work with security ENABLED. Does anyone have the steps I need in simple language that will allow me to DISABLE the security in the 2701? I do have a 27 but I no longer use ATT, I now use a cable modem. I therefore cannot connect the router and access it. This tower is for a friend who has no tech ability. I have some. Please resond to   reeltoreelguy@gmail.com   ASAP. Thank you.]]></description>

<title>[Speed Problem] Poor performance browsing Internet - AT&#x26;amp;T Networ</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23402753</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi All -

Today we are experiencing very poor performance when browsing the Internet.  Have been intermittently unable to connect to gmail, or receive partial downloads of pages.  Have been unable to load Broadband Reports Flash speed test, images are very slow to download.

Have a 2Wire Router/modem.  Statistics show no errors in any metrics, relatively small number of DSL corrected blocks.  Line test showed 68 ms latency which is consistent with earlier line tests.  

Earlier this week discovered had a bad filter on the line which prevented us from getting the full 3 Mb/sec bandwidth under our HSI Pro package.  Checked the Keynote AT&T status page, looked like there were lots of issues in the Maxi-POP to Mini-POP measurement.  

Traceroutes seem to show dropped connections in handoff to other ISPs.  

Any info anyone can share would be great.]]></description>

<title>AT&#x26;amp;T YAhoo Email Customers - servers are down..</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23373355</link>
<description><![CDATA[This is an FYI - the email servers are down at the moment. 

No ETR but it is currently being worked on. This is affecting users that check email via an email client like Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora and the list goes on.

At this moment webmail is currently working.

Please be patient - it is being worked on.

It may not affect all our customers either.

Thanks...]]></description>

<title>dsl going &#x22;red&#x22; or getting low download speeds</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23386571</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm having problems with my internet. My modem keeps going "red" blinking on the "dsl" indicator. I had at&t tech support do phone troubleshoot and they though it was the line. The guy came out and even came inside to troubleshoot. He said that he sees no problem and though the connection was a router issue (not...i've tried direct as well.). I'm using an ethernet cable to connect to my netgear basic router. I've tried wireless as well and speed did not change. here are my test results

<title>2-Line Demarc Bolts</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23400356</link>
<description><![CDATA[My sister used to have the same setup at their house. The only thing is that a technician a while back took out two of the four hex-bolts that make up the second line for the house. Where can she get these to put back in, she needs a second line again and does not want to be charged for parts she already had before the tech took them out? Maybe someone can refer me to a website or supply house. Thanks.]]></description>

<title>Elite Speed Problem</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23400600</link>
<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2009 I went from Pro to Elite
my speed has been up & down, below is the current findings:
2701HG-B Gateway 
Software:  5.29.109.5
 
Fully Operational  
DSL Link: Connected

Downstream Rate: 5120 kbps  
Upstream Rate: 768 kbps  
Channel: Fast 
Current Noise Margin: 9.0 dB (Downstream) 14.0 dB (Upstream)

If I reset my HomePortal it shows:

Eventually it will go back to:

Connection Speed:

Outgoing: 768 kbps 

AT&T Speed Test will go back to: 4.3xx or 4.2xx

Tired of resetting my HomePortal to get the speed I should somewhat get.

I posted in Direct Forum on 11-24-2009 no response.

Thanks ]]></description>

<title>[Line Problem] Failed line quality test</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23397322</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've been experiencing intermittent download speed with my ATT Elite DSL service. The speed test result(I am using the Chicago server on speakeasy.net) can be as bad as only 500kbps (normally it is around 5000 kbps). Also about half of my line quality tests would fail at one of the hop tests (like this one http://www.dslreports.com/linequality/nil/2590804). My modem's statistics look good.

Line State UP 
Modulation ANSI 
Data Path interleaved 

  To Modem To Internet 
Max Allowed Speed (kbps) 6016 800 
SN Margin (dB) 15.0 - 
Line Attenuation (dB) 31.0 - 
Loss of Signal 0 - 
Loss of Frame 0 0 
CRC Errors 1 1

What could be the problem? Thanks]]></description>

<title>[Speed Problem] High Ping Times to CO / Elmhurst redback</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23365865</link>
<description><![CDATA[Recently my ping times to the CO and Elmhurst redback is 55ms and higher.  This doesn't seem normal to me.  I am getting the correct speed 1.6 down /  480k up.  I am probably just at or under 12k feet to the co.

I did call in a trouble ticket and they said line quality is 8 out of 10.  But still nothing to fix.

if 40ms is normal then something is wrong.  I have seen comcast at 10ms to the chicago pop which is more normal.
