Trying to connect my router to Centurylink, I have a solid DSL light and my connection status shows a speed. PPP connection is stuck on connecting. I am trying to determine whether this is due to my router settings and what I need to change them to.

The wireless and WPS lights solid green mean that the wifi and WPS are active. It also means that your home network is exposed to anyone with a laptop/pad/smart phone who knows how to hack into systems that have not been set up properly with the proper security.
I see the following security issues with your router:
1. The router's password is still the default or it does not have one.
(This means anyone who knows your router maker and model can easily break into your network and systems and steal your info, the router maker is broadcast by your wifi SSID, so they know it)
2. WPS is enabled and active (WifiProtectedSetup)(this service is a major security hole that is used by hackers to gain access to routers, it must be disabled for protection)
3. The wireless (wifi) connections are open (not encrypted), anyone can intercept the wireless traffic and read it. WPA2/AES encryption needs to be configured for the best protection.
4. The router's built in firewall may not be configured correctly exposing you to drive-by hacking.
To resolve these issues requires someone who understands router security and is best done onsite.
You need to engage someone you trust to check and configure your router and computer systems properly to protect yourself.

1. Call DSL provider verify service is active. They should be able to ping their DSL modem.
2. If good service, plug your pc directly into dsl modem. If youre able to connect, then the router is bad. Youll need a new one.
3. If I read this wrong, and its the dsl modem that is not connecting, AND the service says its working, then it maybe the dsl network port has failed. In which case report it to your service provider and they should replace the unit for you.
4. You can try to unplug and replug the network cables, all of them. Or try different ones. Its just possible you are getting a poor connection at the wire terminator.

Hi,you can check your exact internet speed with this http://www.ip-details.com/ site ,after that take a decision for your internet speed , here only i got my exact download and upload speed .

You dont need both. Do the following:
Unplug your speedtouch from the phone line at the back of the speedtouch unit. Plug that cable into your Zoom. Then plug one end of an ethernet cable into router and one end into your PC. Type http://10.0.0.2 into a web browser (eg. Firefox or Internet explorer) username/password is admin/zoomadsl go to basic setup and input your ISP username and password (the one given to you by your internet provider) under PPP. Click configure my connection. Save changes and then write to flash (both buttons on bottom of page)

With cable attached type http://10.0.0.2 and enter the username admin and the password zoomadsl then go to basic setup and make sure your ISP username and password are listed under PPP then click start next to 'configure my network' save changes and write to flash. Make sure the DSL light is on solid (otherwise its an issue with your phone line/isp account).

all ADSL routers are very fussy when it comes to power fluctuations, even the tiniest can set them into error, first thing to try, is pull the power cord out of the back of the modem, wait a couple of minuteds, then plug it back it, give it a few moments to re-connect and see how it is, if no luck with that, check the DSL, or ADSL light is on and solid.. if so look on the bottom of the modem for an ip address, open internet explorer browser, type that ip address into the address bar and hit enter, it should prompt you for a username and password.. usually ADMIN for both user and pass.. then go to "status" or "diagnostics" depending on the modem, and it will give you a run down on any potential problem..

PPP error: username and password are wrong (Authentication Failure)

Make sure you have the wireless icon on the taskbar lower right side. If it does not show connected, click the icon and search for wireless devices, you should see the router. connect to the router. Also make sure you have a solid DSL/CABLE status light on the service modem. BPCS
