823381 2009-10-23 07:37:00 Well had to happen one day I guess, but my trusty D-Link DSL 504 gave up.

Had a good run so replaced it with the DSL-604T. Problem is that it just will not find the ADSL signal. I'm fairly sure it has something to do with the setup, as Orcon sent me a modem and it works just perfect, trouble is the wireless lAN antenna on the Orcon unit is a built in type, and we have a larger external antenna we need to use, so we can't use the Orcon modem, so sending it back.

Spent most to the time today, in conjunction with Orcon, who I think just gave in in the end :-)

There's gotta be an answer. I have reset it several times, switched it off for 10-15 minutes and followed the setup procedures. Also removed every other phone on the property. There's no alarm system to upset things and yes both the phone attached to this computer and the ADSL cable goes through a splitter (which is like the modem - brand new).

Anyone got any experience with the setup of a D-Link modem, preferably the DSL-604T.

Any tips or suggestions greatly received.

If so the modem is faulty as even if it was not set up correctly you should still be able to get ADSL sync.

823383 2009-10-23 08:16:00 If you mean the DSL-G604T, Ive got the same modem here. All I did was put my username / password in it, and that was it. Did you put your username / password in it then reboot it?

Log into it, (10.1.1.1) run the wizard, set the timezone, select the 1st option, put the username / pw in, VPI - 0, VCI - 100, Connection - PPPoAVC-mux. Then enable / disable the AP. Then save / reboot the router. If it came with a setup cd ( I think mine did) forget that, do it manually.

823385 2009-10-24 01:09:00 Make sure your mode is correct. For example If ADSL2+ is not enabled on your line yet you have it forced to use ADSL2+ in your router, you will never get anywhere. Agent_24 (57)
823386 2009-10-24 01:13:00 I just left mine on the default (ADSL2+) its fine. Even tho the plan I'm on doesnt support ADSL2 Speedy Gonzales (78)
823387 2009-10-24 04:39:00 Is your line actually running in ADSL2+ mode though? Or does the router fallback to ADSL? Agent_24 (57)
823388 2009-10-24 04:45:00 Wouldnt have a clue, but I know I'm not on a ADSL2 plan Speedy Gonzales (78)
823389 2009-10-24 04:51:00 Should say in the ADSL status page... Agent_24 (57)
823390 2009-10-24 05:06:00 The default is ADSL2+ (mulltimode) Speedy Gonzales (78)
