Download Routing Commander program from www.routercommander.com, it will automatically forward ports and setup the router. Another option is go to router's web interface and set up it manually according to router's User Guide.

I'm sorry I cannot completely solve your issues here, but this is due to certain details that are specific to your internet service provider, and other details not provided in your request. However, I do have quite a bit of experience with 2Wire gateways and setting them up for use with DSL service. The following is based on my experiences with 2wire gateways, and AT&T as service provider:

There are a many things that could possibly be causing the red power light (which indicates a system error, more details below), and the reason why you have no internet connection. Your very best bet is to call technical support for your internet service provider (or ISP) for DSL service. You likely received this unit from your service provider - if you did, then they will have technicians who can walk you through the setup process for this specific 2Wire gateway. Also, if you received the unit from your service provider, you most likely received a setup CD/DVD for setup on your pc. If you have not already run this setup disk, do so prior to contacting technical support, and check the status of your lights / internet connection again prior to calling tech support. Depending on your service provider, if you did not receive a CD/DVD from them to setup internet service, then you most likely can find a download of the setup utility available via their website...just go online and see if you can find it on their specific website,& if so, download and run the setup utility. Only run the setup utility on a pc connected directly (by ethernet cable) to the 2Wire gateway, unless directed to do otherwise by your service provider, or their setup utility's instructions.

If you did not receive the unit from your service provider, then you should contact them asap to find out: A) if they support the 2wire gateway (give them the model number), and if they do support it, B) find out what is required to set it up for use with their service.

According to the manual from the manufacturer, available here , when your power light is lit solid red, it indicates the following: "system error, contact technical support". You need to contact technical support for your Internet Service Provider (such as AT&T DSL), NOT for the manufacturer.

If you have your PC connected to your 2wire unit, and the unit is powered on, you can access the unit's setup utility via your web browser (please ensure you have Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, or Mozilla Firefox 3.2 or later). Open your web browser, and in the address bar type the following:

http://gateway.2wire.net/

Click the system tab to open the System Summary page. The diamonds should be green or red, indicating the status of your LED's on the light panel of the 2Wire unit. It may give you only the status message I indicated above, or could provide you with more info. I maintain that you should first contact your ISP's tech support, but if you have not already accessed the gateway's setup utility and run the setup wizard, you may do so from the System Summary area. Look to the far right of the page, and you should see the Setup Wizard utility link in the lower right-hand portion of the page. Links for other registration info are also in this section, if available. Follow the on-screen instructions and check your status lights again.

Again, I hope this information helps, and again, your best resource is the tech support team for your internet service provider. Best of luck, and please report back to let us know if you get it set up, or, if we can be of further assistance to you in any way.

Contact the manufacturer for a replacement cord.

If your DSL light goes green solid to red check to make sure all your phones are filtered. Make sure your not filtering your 2Wire.

sometimes it will do that take out the power cord to your router and your modem if you have one and let it sit for 30 seconds with power off then plug back in. if not you might be thinking of buying a ethernet cord for it.

A Problem with your router firmware. Hard Reset and reconfigure.

You used to have dial-up, so I guess you've switched to something better. DSL, perhaps? If that's the case, you need to have DSL filters on all phone jacks except the one your DSL modem plugs into. If you use a phone on an unfiltered jack, you'll hear a rushing noise in the background, and it will almost always severely degrade or cut off your DSL connection as well.

If this isn't what you're hearing, please post a follow-up with some more information about what noises you hear and problems you have, and I'll try to help further.

If your DSL works on PPPOE then you need to setup PPPOE on the 2wire router with the Complete Username and the PAssword for the PPPOW connection, if your DSL works on a Local IP address like 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.1 then first check the gateway address of the 2wire Router, if it's in the same IP address range like the DSL Modem like 192.168.1.x the you need to change the Local IP address of the router from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.2.x that should get you up and running with the DSL Modem.

Usually, device drivers are available free of cost on the manufacturer's website. So you should check out for drivers of your printer on its manufacturer's support website. Second, if you have forgotten the WEP key for your wireless modem/router, you can get it by going to the wireless settings on your router page. You can contact your modem/router vendor for free assistance on this. If you still fail to get the WEP key and don't mind using your printer through a cable, you can always use a USB connection to connect your printer to your computer.
