I just received my att dsl/phone service. It came with a gateway modem/wireless router and I tried to install it. I will not be using the phone service so I only want to install the dsl but it is not working. I have a laptop with a Vista OS. The Dsl and internet light on the router keeps flashing red and I don't know how to fix it. I tried unplugging everything and reinstall and restarting but still not working. I talked to att but the damn CS said they will have to get back to me on it tomorrow night. Please help!

how did you try to install? what steps?
-
First I hooked up one side of the Phone cord to the phone jack (Filter) and the other to the Gateway modem.
After that I hooked up the Ethernet cable to the modem and my laptop
Last, I powered the modem with the power supply. -

On your routers setup page, are your PPPOE settings correct? As in, is the log-in info for your AT&T internet account in the username and password boxes?
Your username may be your entire ATT account email. Your password is whatever your normally use. -
right...the gateway modem requires you put in a user account and password before it will connect.

I think my problem is the dsl home line. The modem is not detecting a dsl connection so I can't register my modem.
-
Make sure you connect the modem to the UN-filtered phone line. The filter is for the voice connection
-
I talked to Att support and was first told to connect the phone line to the dsl filter, still not working. I talked to 2nd support lady and was told not to connect to the filter, still not working. They have a tech coming out next saturday =(.

Don't worry. The same thing happened to me when I ordered DSL two years ago. It takes a while for AT&T to get things set up on their end, so just wait for a few days and see if you can activate your modem. After a day or two, my modem finally activated.

I hope so. I actually had a light of hope when I looked at my modem last night. The darn flashing red light turned green for a few seconds and turn to red again. It did this a few times.
