I have a PK5000Z modem. In the web interface for the modem:
1. click on Advanced Setup
2. click on Application Forwarding
3. select User Created Rules in Application Category
4. click on Create Rule
You get a screen that has:
Rule Name:
Protocol:
Port Start:
Port End:
Port Map:
This all works great. I want to upgrade the modem but if you
do the same sequence in a C1100Z there is no Port Map: field
only a start and end.
I need to be able to set a port map. Does anyone know how to
set a port map in a C1100Z?

Replacing C1100Z MN Gigabit - login needed?
When CenturyLink installed my gigabit 6 weeks ago they gave me the C1100Z. The did not offer the 2100 and the tech admitted I couldn't use the gigabit wireless with the router they gave me. I'm still scratching my head over that.
I bought the Nighthawk AC3200 to replace it. It has the VLAN setting and PPPoE login support. I've seen conflicting information on forums on whether or not the login information is required (which determines if I need to call CenturyLink).
My plan is to put the C1100Z in transparent mode, connect the AC3200, and setup the VLAN ID to 201.
Anyone know if the login info is required for MN Gigabit?
Thanks

[CenturyTel] CenturyLink C1000A modem on a different DSL provider?
I picked up a used CenturyLink C1000A modem/router combo to use with my local DSL provider who charges a rental fee for their equipment. I can get the modem to connect but it sends me to the CenturyLink Walled Garden that asks for a CenturyLink account login.
Are these C1000As locked to CenturyLink? I have looked all over the web interface but can't find an option that will turn off the walled garden and just let it connect to my DSL provider. Anyone have any experience with these devices?
Thanks!

1000 MBPS in, 100 MBPS out, Zyxcel C1100Z on Centurylink
forgive me my ignorance and cluelessness, but
I pay for (and the zyxcel says it gets) a 1000MBPS, so my kids can play counterstrike, while simultaneously streaming videos, watching videos on their iPads, and, and, and ...(masters of multitasking, all of them)
however, when I run a speedtest (be it century's speedtest or speedtest.net) with my notebook directly plugged into one of the ETH ports, I can't get more than 100MBPS. Whats up with that ? Is there any internal load balancing going on between the 4 ETH ports and the WIFI ? If so, can that be disabled ?
Not that it has performance impacts, but lets say I don't want to use the build in router, and use the zyxcel in bridge mode ... would I be stuck with the same 100 MBPS between the zyxcel and the separate router ?
Any good alternative that doesn't show this behavior ?
And, lots of PPP drops, especially under high load conditions. Technician to check on Tuesday, but I have no hope. Tech support says the technician will 're-install' the modem. what is this, the 90's ?
cheers !

Extremely low internet speed on some occasions
I am with CenturyLink. I got 12mb/5mb. I am using Q1000 modem, using it as a PPoE mode. Archer C7 router. So my problem is, I'm getting like 60ms ping, and 30 - 40ms jitters.
Speed test shows 14 mb down, 5 mb up. Those are all good. However, the problem occurs when sometime a "new connection" is established.
So let's say I'm watcing a youtube video, I refresh it few times, and lets say, the 4th time, it loads it at like 1mb down and constantly lags, even at 240p.
Let's say I run the test several times, it would show 15 mb like 4 times, and then it should show 1 mb. Like there would be time, the connection will be VERY slow, until I refresh that connection.
Is anyone else having this problem? Do you guys think its my modem or router? Or is this Centurylink? I called them few times and support was no help. Just repeated, "The test runs great for us. It's running full 14 mb".

[CenturyTel] Black Desert Online, Disconnects & Centurylink
Howdy, a lot of people online have been having a hard time playing Black Desert Online because of disconnections. We can't seem to get much information about the problem from Daum Games Europe B.V..
Here is the largest forum post about the issue and most of the players are using Centurylink.
http://forum.blackdesertonline.com/index.php?/topic/100062-unable-to-stay-connected-post-patch/&page=1
A few of us have started using Proxies and running flawlessly. However there is a risk with using those that could result in bans. If anyone knows someone that can push this problem along and get matters cleared up or fixed that would be super awesome!

Internet Upgrade questions
I am offered an upgrade from 10Mbps up to 20Mbps. First they want $65 for a tech to come out and "upgrade" the equipment. Second, they want $20 MORE a month... I have tried to talk them down.
I am not sure about the $20 extra a month for double the speed. I hate the location I am in. Only 1 mile from TWC nearest hook up.
I was wondering should I cancel my service and join again? I am looking into getting a business account. We do some online sales and I travel in 2 states to sell. Would that be better? Or just the bite the bullet and pay the extra $20 a month?

Bonded DSL Speedtest
I signed up for 20MB bonded DSL last August and have yet to find a speed test that indicates a download speed of more than 9.5MB. The tech's equipment shows 23MB and the modem/router indicates 23MB when I log into it. I have tested multiple sites with various computers and have yet to see an actual download speed of more than around 8MB. Centurylink is convinced I am getting what I am paying for. I am not. They tell me the various speed test sites only show the speed of one DSL line, not both, including the Centruylink site. I cannot believe there isn't a website that will show the true speed of bonded DSL. Any info/advice would be appreciated.

Yet *another* CenturyLink Internet Drop Complaint
Hi All,
I have been browsing these and similar forums for WEEKS now, and honestly cannot find a viable solution.
I won't make this too long, I will try and give a quick summary.
My household has CenturyLink Phone+Internet, and are paying for the highest speed in our area (20 MBPs DL). The speed is nowhere near what's advertised, but that's a whole other issue.
Our internet connection, like so many others having this issue, continually drops. It doesn't matter what we are doing-watching netflix, doing emails, browsing the web, etc- the internet connection will just drop out. I can't tell if this is a modem thing or house wiring thing, as we have troubleshooted with multiple modems (one Actiontek PK5000, and one Netgear D6400). Whenever the internet connection drops, which is just for around 30 seconds at most, the lights are always all on whenever we use either box, and when we use routerlogin, it always says the connection is "good," when obviously it isn't.
30 seconds doesn't seem like that big of an issue, but when using certain programs, especially for work, whatever program I am using freezes without an internet connection, forcing me to start all over, and kind of negates the ability to work from home.
I am at a complete loss as to what to do here. We have unplugged the entire landline phone to see if there were issues, and it still dropped. We moved the router away from anything that could interfere and we still got drops, we bought new phone cords (4 wire phone line from our old 2 wire phone line) and there were still drops. There is no filter plugged into the modem, we moved it around the house, and still, every so often there will be a drop. The firmware on each box is updated, so I am becoming more and more sure it isnt a box problem (as we get drops no matter what box is in use).
This happens about 10-15 times a DAY and it's very aggravating.
Does anyone have ANY help or guidance?

Data Caps?
I got a letter Saturday morning. stating that they will now be enforcing data caps in my area starting august first. has anyone else received a letter from CenturyLink stating that there area will be apart of there usage based "trial" service. from my understanding data caps are just another way for company to get revenue
my area is in Yakima Wa.

How can Centurylink be so bad and still be in business?
I just had to get this off my chest,so please excuse the rant! This is the absolute worst incompetent company i have ever dealt with in my life.How i mean how! do they stay is business???
I have had Centurylink phone/dsl for at least 4-5 years.. I can say the only time DSL has ever worked to potential was the first 6 months i had it but it has been downhill ever since- I pay for a lousy 1.5Mbps and they cant even maintain that!
Since the first 6 months i had it,i have literally had to call every 2 weeks to 1 month for the same problems. The line ALWAYS tests good,so they claim, and its not the physical old copper either. Its always some server issue on their end and every single time they make me disconnect everything,reset the modem,etc... and it has never once been a problem on my end.
Sometimes after i get off the phone its magically working again,and i may get at least 1Mbps,but it never ever lasts long.As i sit here and type this the latest speedof.me test is showing 235ms ping with 70Kbps,sometimes the next test shows 2350ms ping and it wont finish the speed test. I am in the country, I am in a bandwidth exhaust area,but i dont expect perfect dsl,especially in prime time, i am realistic! but all i ask for is a lousy 1Mbps at least. I mine as well go to dialup,its cheaper and not much slower!
To all the other poor bastards out there that have no options but to use Centurylink and have spent half their life on their tech help or putting up with substandard service, i feel your pain.
The last person i talked with tonight was actually an American,or spoke english well enough to fool me. 24% packet loss on their end.. Be nice if they upgraded that old 286 server or whatever it is,or at least get someone in there to maintain it who has a clue. Sigh..
Oh and they have credited me some cost back for poor service on the last 2 bills, but i noticed the lastest bill jumped to $190! wtf.

Thinking about replacing my CL C1000A
I live in Anthem, AZ (north of Phoenix). I'm not in the Country Club so don't have the 1G service available. When I had my CL VDSL2 service installed a little over a year ago I bought the C1000A rather than rent. I pay for 40/5 service but have been getting 50/5 since installation. Because of where the modem is located I use the wireless and router portions as well. There isn't room for additional equipment there.
It seems to be working well enough except for the last couple of months I can't login to the web interface. Actually, I can login but can't go to any of the other pages without getting bumped back to the login page. It will usually work for a short while after a reboot. I suspect that heating due to it's location may be a cause. I've seen comments online that seem to support this.
Rather than wait till it dies completely and then scramble for a replacement, I'm thinking of replacing it now. Looking for recommendations for a replacement that, maybe, isn't so heat sensitive. I see Best Buy and Frys both have a couple of Netgears starting at $200. I don't see any option on my CL online account to purchase a new modem. Suggestions?

Help, please bypassing CenturyLink's modem with Netgear router
I'm following the instructions at http://kmwoley.com/blog/bypassing-needless-centurylink-wireless-router-on-gigabit-fiber/ and I'm so close I can feel it! I'm giving this a try with the Netgear R6900, which appears to be the Costco version of the R7000 that the article's about. (specs look the same)
However, I can get it to work great with the Technicolor C2000T in bridge mode, but cannot get internet when I connect the Netgear directly to the ONT. Per the post's addendum, I've made sure WAN>Setup>Disable IGMP proxying is not set.
The Netgear's router is SO much better. Any idea why it's not working with a direct connection to the ONT? (It's a Calix 711GE outdoor unit)
Thanks.

ZyXEL PK5000Z Qwest Modem Router Help
Hello, this isn't my primary modem as I have the NETGEAR DGND3700v2 as my primary modem/router and my old Actiontec GT-701WG modem/router as a backup. The problem comes as I bricked the backup with a firmware reinstall problem. Anyway, i went out and bought an old ZyXEL PK5000Z modem/router to replace that. The modem boots properly and sends out a wireless signal and everything but the DSL light keeps blinking. I unplugged every phone line in the house, I've changed some settings and no matter what it doesn't seem to work. The DSL light will blink slow, then fast, then slow, then fast, etc. The "line" jack must work fine though because when I plug a phone into the "phone" jack with a phone line going from the wall jack to the "line" jack I still get a dial tone. Why is it blinking? are there any setting that I need to change or do I need to just be patient and let the modem sit for awhile and connect to CenturyLink?

Internet suddenly moving at dial up speeds. Dear god save me!
So, as You guys seem like the closest thing to experts on the internet, I'm hoping you can help me.
After years of decent service at reliable speeds from Century Link, one day the internet cut out during a storm. That's fine, it happens. Only this time, when it came back, it went from around 10mbps to 0.9 mbps, moving over the last month between an average of about 2mpbs when I'm lucky, and 0.2 mbps... when I actually need it. Strangely, there have been about thirty hours in total throughout the month where it runs at full speed. This happens totally at random, and can be during peak hours, or valley hours (why not).
For the last month I have been on and off the phone with the circus that qualifies as "tech support". The first six times I called they would tell me "I'm testing perfectly on their end" and we did the whole song and dance about routers and modems and viruses and malware, etc. It's none of that. I've tried direct connections, and wireless. I've tried new modems. I've tried friend's laptops to make sure it's not my devices. No matter what, the speed does not change.
In come the "real techs": So after going through hell with phone support and doing every possible troubleshooting scenario they could think of, and many more I could think of, I got a dispatch. He said he "found some old lines" at the box and replaced them. Then he said I was testing at 100% (uhuh). His "fix" did nothing, and the speed is unchanged. Another tech came out and tested the lines. He said they were working perfectly. After this, I actually went out to the box with an extension cord and plugged into the outside lines myself, to make sure it couldn't be internal. What a surprise: the speed did not change.
So after going to hell and back, I had confirmed what I pretty much suspected from the start: It's nothing on my end. But how do I fix something on their end? After searching around the net I found someone with the same issue as me, you can read about it here: http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/centurylink-dsl-pennsylvania-c454264.html
It turns out the issue was finally solved when Century Link switched him to new equipment in their DSLAM. But half the techs I've talked to seem to have no idea what a DSLAM is, and think they'll find it in my mailbox. The other half smile and nod when I tell them they need to check the DSLAM, then they run "more checks" on my "perfectly functioning" lines.
God help me. I'm pretty tech savvy but DSLAMS are new to me and seem pretty specialized. Is there a way to address this? Maybe switch the DSLAM I connect to? Or does anyone have ideas of something that could be going wrong outside the DSLAM given that I have literally run every test possible? I am at my wits end. I have tested and retested and am beginning to feel as though I'm starring in a personal Groundhog Day.
I look to you to save me. Or to just tell me to cancel this service. Thanks!

Updated Minneapolis speed test map
I re-ran the addresses contained in the map in this thread: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r29723767-Minneapolis-Centurylink-Speed-map-Including-Fiber-rollout-
(Direct link: http://www.easymapmaker.com/map/6347814ae5d946a2fcc4cd60647ca456)
New map from data gathered last night: http://www.easymapmaker.com/map/cl_speed_1-15-2015
So there are now traces of gig internet in Hopkins and St. Paul (uncheck everything but 1000 at the bottom to see them).
I have a python script that runs the addresses to check their speeds, and I hope to update the map from time to time to see the progression of CL fiber.
-----------------------------------------------
Edit 5/11/2016:
Instructions on how to run this yourself using Vagrant, Ansible and VirtualBox:
https://github.com/mtdoyle/CLSpeedPhantomJS/blob/master/README.md
I have included my giant list of addresses that will be downloaded as part of the instructions above.
Let me know if anything doesn't work!
NOTE: running this script with a large amount of addresses takes a LOT of bandwidth. Each run for me eats up somewhere between 20-40Gb of data. If your internet is capped, you might want to only use a smaller subset of addresses.

[Qwest] Any way to get a reprovision?
Is there any way to get centurylink to re-provision your line without waiting 2 weeks for a tech to come out and "test". My connection has dropped in half (20 mbps vs 40) for the past two weeks with intermittent disconnects.
I finally got around to checking on it, and holy CRC errors (40k in 5 minutes!) I have a cat5e cable running it, so I switched the pairs out, and let it run over 24 hours, and now only have ~500 FEC errors and 0 CRC, but the modem won't train any higher than 20 still. I just spent 4 hours on chat and on the phone, and "technical support" keeps asking me if I'm using wifi.....
I've called in before (year or so ago) and gotten a hold of someone who actually knew something, and they were able to re-provision my line which fixed a similar issue, but now I mention the word and they again ask what their "speedtest" is showing....Not above 20 Mbps I can tell you that!
