Alright. So before anyone says it, yes I have dealt with the idiocy of Centurylink link tech support telling me everything from, "you can't use that moden with us" to "we just aren't trained in using that specific modem. Sorry." and usually followed with "Did I help you solve your problem?" or something along those line. And NO Centurylink, you did not help at all!
Now that's out of the way, to the meat of said problem. Obviously as many who are reading this have guessed, i am trying to set this modem up with CL services. It has become quite the hasstle but I don't have the money to throw at renting one from them or buying another one. I have done some searching and found that CenturyTel used to be in my area of horrid Lorain, Ohio. And had merged with CL. Now I have no clue what the vpi or vci is for this as it could also be lined with AllTel, who I have been told also merged here. So that's one of many issues.
Another is that I don't know what the protocol is either, or even the Line Mode for the broadband settings. I continually get the runaround by CL because it's "unsupported."
That being said when I check the status in the modems menu the modem IP, the dns1 and dns2 are all lable N/A. Which I guess makes sense since I cant connect to the internet?
In any case I just want to know what settings I need to set for my area. Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated.
If anyone has or knows the settings needed for Lorain Ohio, not just anywhere. Please reply as soon as possible.
