Windstream DSL modem keeps disconnecting - D-Link ADSL2/2+ Modem/Wireless Router 4-Port Switch, 802.11g, QoS (DSL-2640B)

It's not the username and password from your ISP. If you try to access your router and you have not changed anything, use the following values:
username = admin
password = admin

Once in the router interface, you will have to configure the router for your DSL-modem (I guess it's DSL since Windstream does not produce cable modems.)
Here fill in the username and password your ISP provided you with.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi paintballa12!

Here's the link for yor modem's userguide..

Normally, all dsl modems can be "unbridged" byr resetting it to factory state.. But that would mean you have to save you DSL username & password again..

Check page 38 for setting modem to non-bridge mode..

Hope this helps..

You really need to get a cable modem for your charter isp since they have different configurations.

it is possible but the router must be connected hardwired to your DSL modem.

yes you have to configure it with the dsl modem plug your modem ether net cable into routers ethernet,open your modem configuration page by typing 192.168.1.1 login by using by default the router login are "admin"and pass word is also" admin" note down dns setting and other setting which yopu may need tosupply the router now open router login page and supply required connection setting change set router default address 192.168.1.2 soit should not conflict whith each other supply dns setting, enable wireless ,set wireless secuirty ,try now [email protected]

Did you get a router, the dsl modem it self wont do much good, you need a router so it can assign your xbox an IP address. You need to have a router hooked up to the DSL modem, and the xbox hooked up to the router.

Yes, this can be a problem with the modem that you have first thing that you need to do here is to reset the modem and reconfigure it back, but if after that still have the same problem better contact your ISP and ask them if everything is working from their end...

Hope that helps...............

I have Centurytel myself, so maybe I can help:

A link to your Speedstream 5100 router:

And the typical setup for the westell 6100 that centurytel uses:

Centurytel will provide you with your username and password.

PPPoE Configuration:
VPI 8
VCI 35
Protocol: PPPoE

Hope this helps.

If you will have the new modem and the same problem will occur, then you can say that it could be a fault with the phoneline or if it is with the old modem.

You might want to check with your provider to make sure that they haven't changed anything.  Power cycle the modem, and even perform a hard reset if possible, usually by means of a small button on the back of the box.

 

Of course you could have just got a bad modem, and in that case, it's just as easy to take it back where you bought it.
