It depends on your DSL connection- technically anything above 56k is "high-speed internet"- if you are concerned about the speeds you are getting, contact Verizon tech support for further assistance- you could have an issue with your connection, and they would be the ones able to setup for a technician to come out/ have the maintenance office repair the connection I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/susan_42b401e0b1603d8a

Are you on Consumer Verizon DSL? Fair warning if you are using Business Static- the Actiontec is a poor choice due to issues working on a static IP circuit. - I'd use a 6110 and a third party router! However, by default, the only thing you would need to do to setup the modem is go through the activation page when you plug the modem in. If you require an user name and password, it would set that up. Bar any problems, you can contact Verizon technical support since the Actiontec Gateway is fully supported.

Get a New modem my friend... sorry

If this is a Verizon router/modem that you are trying to connect your own router to in order to use it as the DHCP device with your home network, you will need to contact Verizon technical support and they will perform the bridging operation for you. You cannot do it yourself with many of these devices.

Wireless capable modems are touchy, Put tinfoil over your splice connectors as they leak signals that totally confuse your modem. Never leave any bare wires, I tinfoil the entire modem to prevent the neighbors from hacking me. I don't use wireless, only CAT5 ethernet cable.

The C1000A Router is branded by Centurylink. ActionTec's name for this is V1000H. The user's guide is available here: http://setuprouter.com/router/actiontec/c1000a-centurylink/manual-1081.pdf

If my memory serves me, I didn't install the software for my Actiontec modem/router combo. I call Verizon and told them I refused to install the software and they helped step me through getting rid of this garbage. You should never have to install software to get a modem or router to work as any software the comes with it, is simply used to provide easier configuration.

Since I couldn't find anything about bypassing this software, I would suggest contacting Verizon directly. Their technical support should be able to assist you.
