Please log in for more thread options We've just got our first DSL service here in the USA with Windstream. We're using a ActionTec modem (GT704-wg) and Windstream (used to be Alltel) tells us that the line has been DSL-enabled for a week now, but the DSL light on the modem keeps flashing. Windstream says this indicates the DSL signal is there, but is weak: can anyone verify this? What steps should we take to remedy the situation. Cheers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

I have had problems with my SWBell local line before, and was thinking that the problem had not been fully resolved. Maybe there is a weak or noisy signal problem, yet. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Someone is using your wireless connection. It's slow because who ever is using your wireless is putting a lot of traffic through it. Usually there is a way of turning off the wireless part, if you don't use wireless yourself you should turn it off. If you do use wireless you need to enable WPA so that others can't use it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

We may have an intruder, or my wife's kitchen computer may have a Trojan or some such interloper. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

There's zero config items you can do on the router that affect it training up. You could check your wiring to make sure you have a solid connection, even to the point of hooking the router up at the Demarc point into your house/building. Other than that, open up a ticket with your ISP/DSL provider to see why you aren't training up. It could be a number of things. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
