There are two major issues that impact the deployment and use of cable modems. Most coaxial networks are designed for one-way downstream distribution only, requiring the expensive replacement of distribution nodes.
The second is that all subscribers on a distribution network from to several thousand homes share the bandwidth, which can reduce an individual's throughput to analog modem dial-up speeds. Another cable modem topic of discussion is that unterminated cable TV jacks no TV connected and no terminating resistor cap screwed on act as antennas on the distribution node.
Any RFI-generating radio frequency interference equipment near an un-terminated jack injects noise into the entire distribution network. AC motors vacuum cleaners , computer monitors, fluorescent lights, and a host of other household items generate RFI. This is not critical for TV viewing, but can adversely affect modem throughput. We are working with various vendors to develop a more robust solution for customers in order to provide service to those locations where access is denied at present.
Please visit our World of Interactive Services page for those options. A: The subscriber's host site or MegaCentral location is responsible for the address. A: No. All of the registration of addresses and domain conventions must be assigned, administered and managed by the subscriber's host location.
If L2TP is supported on the end points and can be transported across the network, then it should work. A: An Ethernet card must be installed in the customer's computer. At this time the customer must be within 18, feet from a serving Central Office. A: Probably. However, we need to go through the pre-qualification process to ensure that there aren't any other technical issues.
A: We intend to deliver standard voice services, with switched access anywhere you can call today. Please visit our technical requirements section for more information. A: While we appreciate your offer to test our products, we have already tested our services extensively in our labs located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Denver, Colorado.
However, we will maintain your offer on file, and should the need for beta testing arise in the future, we will contact you. However, the following obstacles to receiving service do exist in some areas:. A: Yes, but under very controlled circumstances. If the customer has a router working in conjunction with the 10 BaseT connection and can capture an IP address, then they can subnet behind the router.
This scenario, when used in conjunction with a router can allow a number of other users access by subnetting the IP address. We are providing a Layer Two service and if the ISP or MegaCentral location assigns the address we cannot control how the end devices use the address. If the MegaCentral host assigns a dynamically assigned IP address and provides an always on service, the end users, if they terminate the 10 BaseT connection in a router, may be able to configure subnets after determining what the IP address is.
Again, this is an issue how the host end and the subscriber ends are configured. You can connect the voice line to any device registered with the FCC to support either voice or data transmission. A: A VPN creates the effect of a private, leased line network, but without the associated design, deployment, cost and vulnerability issues.
Dedicated circuits are established between the host location, the closest Central Office and the subscriber location. Dedicated circuits are not established between various subscriber locations. A: In most cases, you need to connect to a UNIX server or a device that supports an Ethernet connection to your computer. In each case we were not the only customers affected and Qwest was already working on a resolution when we called the support line.
Even though Qwest only officially supports Qwest and Actiontec branded hardware, we have had mostly positive experiences getting the correct settings for Linksys, Motorola and Netgear modems and routers to work with Qwest DSL. We have tried other ISPs, but found their throughput claimed to be 1.
Worse than that, one blamed the problem on our computers or network equipment. Switching to Qwest resolved the problem with no changes to our network, Qwest provides the advertised throughput of 1. Final Verdict:. Qwest is a good ISP with a fair price. Their included software and bundle discounts may make the deal even better for some customers. If Qwest is in your area and you already have phone service with them, Qwest DSL will be less cost-wise than any of the competitors.

The Linksys router comes with a Setup CD for easy installation. The software will automatically detect the type of Internet connection from your ISP. Manual configuration of your Linksys router is recommended if the Setup CD failed to set up your router. Follow the instructions below to manually set up your router. Connecting devices together ii. Setting your preferred Internet Connection Type. Connecting devices together Connect the computer to one of the Ethernet ports on the router using an Ethernet cable.
If your router has a power switch, turn it ON. Observe the power light of your router until it becomes stable. Select Keep Alive and click on the Save Settings button at the bottom of the page. Step 4: Click the Status tab. Restarting is done by unplugging the power adapter of the router for 30 seconds then plugging it back in.

Step 3: Change the value of the third box in the IP Address field. The Subnet Mask should be In this example, the IP Address used is Remember to use the new IP Address of your router Step 6: Now that you have configured the settings of the router, you can connect the modem to the Internet port of the router using an Ethernet cable.
