Hello,

I switched from Charter cable to ATT DSL. My wireless router worked fine on Charter.

I connected / setup the Motorola modem (MSTATEA 2210). Hard wired, I can get from PC to Internet. But can not figure out what needs to be changed in router settings to work with the DSL.

I re-set the router to defaults and still nothing.

I assume I need to do something different for DLS than Cable?

Thanks

p.s.
I received no manuals for the modem so anyone have a link to that I would appreciate it!

Please see my reply on this link http://ccm.net/forum/affich 19114 motorola 2210 dsl modem with wrt54g linksys

It has to do with the PPPoE settings required by your DSL provider. Cable modems use a one-time MAC address authentication for IP address assignments. Your DSL modem requires a username and password to initiate the connection before an IP address is assigned. The PPPoE settings can be configured either in your router or your modem. All of this is explained in my reply in the other thread.

What you need to do when using a DSL connection and a router is to enter in the PPPoE information if this is applicable to your DSL provider. Some providers do not require this. I know for Linksys, you need to go into the setup page and if PPPoE does not work, change it to Automatic Configuration - DHCP. Next you need to save the change, then click on the Clone Address MAC and enable it. Finally you need to go in and change the default gateway address to 192.168.2.1 and hit save. Shut everything down, then power up modem first, then the router, then the PC.

Hope this helps.

I had to same problem when I switched from Comtrashtic cable to At&T. The fix was to going to the set up page for the router configuration and putting in my AT&T e-mail address and password for the router to read. after the reboot everything worked fine.
