- Thank you so much for bearing with me now do i have to be on the internet to do this by this i mean do i have to take my phone jack out of my computer(disconnect from internet) or should it work while it is in my computer(while connected) because this is what im getting: DSL Connection is Down Check the following
  • Phone line is securely connected to your Device.
  • DSL Sync light on front of your device is green and not blinking
  • Filters have been installed on all phone jacks that have telephone devices connected to them
  • Now i know all the above is correct bsides what i asked you above do u have any other suggestions
    P.S. i called att and they said that i hooked everything up right that its just my modem isnt receiveing a signal nd they have supposed to have sent somebody out to check my lines and those bitches still havent sent nobody....sorry for the long message and thnk you

    hello!

    -- what is the model and brand of your modem?
    -- who is your internet service provider?
    -- is your account activated?
    -- do you have a username and password from your ISP?
    -- have you tried changing cables? what about the phone port?

    - Hello!

    don't worry, we will figure it out.. i'm pretty sure that you surely did the right thing. its probably the modem itself that is not cooperating here. if you dont see any dsl light on the modem that is because the modem is not yet setup.

    nwy, since you already try setting it up using the installation cd, let's try to do check it manually instead

    check your cable connection:
    step 1: Power supply connected
    Step 2: Phone cable to the DSL port of the modem to the DSL outlet
    Step 3: Ethernet cable from the ethernet port of the modem to your pc

    device configuration:
    Step 1:open browser and type 192.168.1.254
    Step 2: create your own password
    Step 3: username admin and the password you created
    Step 4: type your ISP user ID and password
    Step 5: it should give your the confirmation that you are now connected

    - by the way before you try this reset the modem first

    - Your very welcome!

    actually, you dont need to disable the connection. You can access your modem set up page even if you do not have internet access because it is only the modem itself you are connecting to configure the modem settings. This is one way of activating your account with them.

    If you already tried this and it is still not working possible that there is really something wrong with your dsl line or with the actual modem and you really need to get att tech to check your line or your modem
