Robert Since you have Bellsouth an I assume Fast Access service let me tell you what I have found out recently as far as their routers and service. I bought a 12" powerbook with air port card from MacTown and took it home an had planed to get a Linksys router to hook up to my Actell Speed touch home ADsl modem. Well like all things Fast Access I found out they are changing their service to a BBG http://www.interconnection.bellsouth.com/guides/tech_ref/TR-73612.pdf connection type. Go here to see all the problems. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/ilec,bels
When they moved to this back in November they started causing all the wireless modems to stop working in the Bellsouth area of service. I tried for a week to get everything to work I could log on to the Linksys from the powerbook but could not get the linksys to work with Bellsouth. I ended up getting a 2Wire brand wireless router from Bellsouth as this is all they will support.( read its their equipment) I plugged it in and everything worked. Other than loading their software corrupted IE on my Windows XP box. Found out that you should not load their software just access the router by typing http://home set up the router in 128 hex password as that is the one supported in OSX. Several other choices where available. So now I have my wireless connection and I can surf in the living room while my wife watches Trading Spaces.:) -----Original Message----- From: Robert M.

I will have to find out how the router was set up; I guess that means I will have to get BellSouth to come out and do it. I certainly have no access to the router's set up program. Am I missing something?
