Yahoo Dsl 2wire 2700hg-b Router Install

If you are reading this paper, you probably are looking for on how to set up your new At&t 2wire dsl modem. Throughout this paper I will be using a 2wire 2700HG-B wireless router, but this lesson will also apply to other routers that 2wire provides SBC with. The first thing to do when setting up your 2wire DSL router is plug the DSL filters into all your telephone jacks, where you plan having a telephone. On one of the DSL filters, you should see a dual filter that reads phone and DSL/HPNA, on the side that says DSL/HPNA plug a touchtone phone cable into this port, then run the other end of the telephone wire into the telephone port on the back of the 2wire DSL modem.

Once you have connected the touchtone phone cable, plug a ethernet cable into port 1 of the modem, then connect the other end of the ethernet cable into your computer. Once you have made the connections between your laptop and the router, and the modem and the dsl filter. You can then plug in the power adapter into the router, then plug the power adapter into the wall outlet.

Once the 2wire dsl router powers up, you should see a green light next to power, ethernet, and DSL. Once you see these lights turn green on your 2wire router, the next that you need to do is open a web browser such as Internet Explorer. Once you see this window, press the next button, which should then ask you to download the 2wire DSL setup tool.exe. Once you have installed the 2wire DSL setup tool, the 2wire default gateway validation page should open, simply select the yes button.

Once you have authenticated you 2wire modem, you must set a password to your modem. I recommend setting a password with upper and lower case, with a few numbers for security reasons. This password will come in handy if you are trying to modify settings on your 2wire modem. To access the router in the future to change any settings, simply type 192.168.1.254 into your web browser. As soon as you have set a password for your router, click the next button to begin registering your 2wire router with At&t.

After you have registered your modem, read through the agreement then click I Agree button. After you have accepted the agreement with Yahoo sbc yahoo DSL, you will need to create a user name and password for your dsl account. To begin setting up your new user name and password enter you land line touchtone phone number that you have received from SBC.

After you have created your new username and password, there will be another progress screen, then click the finish button. After you have completed the about steps, close down your current browser and reboot your computer, this will resolve any network problems. Once you laptop reboots open you web browser and being surfing the internet with your at&t 2wire DSL modem.
