When you do that, you should include some basic information, including:. Did you want to connect client devices to both the CT and the R, or did you want to use the CT as a modem-only "bridge mode" , and connect all your client devices to the R? Thank you for your response. I was told by Centurylink I could connect it to a Nighthawk router. My son gave me the Nighthawk router and I downloaded the Install Manual, and followed the steps.
First of all will it do me any good to wifi-wise to connect the two, or am I just wasting my time. CenturyLink wifi in my area is quite narrow bandwidth and slow. Will this help or not? You sound like you might know. Appreciate any help, thanks. We are continuing to monitor the situation to ensure that the best possible service is provided to our customers.

Using Netgear with CenturyLink. I managed to figure it out based on information in this forum, but wanted to add some clarification steps: This will work for connecting most NetGear products with Centurylink ISP. You must use a computer and its browser and really recomend not trying to use a phone, the NetGear page doesn't load well, you really want a laptop browser : For the router, need to go to advanced settings note, this can only be done for some through a web browser with ethernet connection and going to routerlogin.
I'm happy with my setup now that it's working. Message 1 of 4. Labels: Troubleshooting. Me too. Do not waste your time configuring when there is no DSL signal. If the DSL light is lit, the next thing is to check the Internet light. If it's blue, it's connected. A blue light is good, but that may or may not mean your internet is ready to go. Frontier sets the lines to connect automatcially to their network but then it will start asking you for pin numbers or money, so we still need to configure the router.
If you have a new connection, and it looks like it has good lights on the router, but gives you a lot of errors that make it seem like someone is snooping on yout traffic, this also means that you are connected to Frontier and need to reconfigure the router. If you got this far, it means we have a good dsl signal. The DSL light on the router is solid green, but we can't surf the web. We need to configure the router. Your computer is connected to the router with an etheret cable, right?
If your computer doesn't have an ethernet port, I suggest to either buy an ethernet adapter from Apple or borrow another computer that has an ethernet port. This is really the easiest way to do it.
You can configure via wifi but it is a pain in the neck. Please do not do this. People who want to save time do not configure routers by Wifi because you are never sure which router you are configuring. If you use ethernet then there is only one router you are talking to and much time is saved.
Open your favorite web browser such as Chrome, Explorer, or Safari, and enter the numerical web address The username is admin.
The password is admin. That's right, the username is the same as the password. Not super high security, but that's fine. If you see this screen you are successfully connected to the router and ready to start configuration.
Thisis the Frontier interface for the router. If you had bought this router from Netgear the interface would be completely different. If you look on the left column, it shows you the current status.
My router has no dsl link no signal and is not connected. That's becasue I have not plugged it into a telephone line. If you don't see a dsl signal, go fix that before you spend any time trying to configure.
For me it's ok that there is no DSL signal. I'm not trying to hook this up. I'm just writing instructions for the router. If I want to test it I can go plug it into a dsl line later. This page lists out the devices that you currently have connected to this router. I have a Mac and a Windows computer connected. There is a cryptic little icon with a pencil which is supposed to mean "Edit". Click it and we will edit the Broadband Connection.
From this page select "My Connection" and "Edit" that's the button with the pencil in the right side column. Here we are, ready to put in the username and password. If you aren't sure what they are, then call us and ask. You won't be able to guess. Yours will be different.
Enter the username and password, hit apply, and you should be online as soon as the router completes the save procedure, minutes. You're don. Just go back to the home page and make sure the line says "connected" and you should be ready to use the internet. If youw want to set up wifi, that's further down in the Wifi section. If you have a DHCP account and your router was set up some other way, you can reset it by re-running the "Wizard".
If it were me I would have called this section "Configuratoin" and i would hve put all the configuration options here. But they didn't ask me.
Not much else can be set here. Go back to the previous section, which shows how to do this. From the menu acros the top, select "Wireless Settings" and then "Basic Settings" and the screen below will come up. I usually set it to "Brand X Internet", but you can set it to anything you like. Now we need to set the password. That's on a different screen. Select "Security Settings" from the left side column, and this screen will come up:.
If Frontier set this up they probably chose some crazy hard password like the one shown above. You can set it to anything you like, as long as it is at least 8 characters long.
