Wireless router that is compatible with Qwest: Any suggestions?

You can read my review, but basically the best thing to do is use this device in invisible bridged mode. If you know any techy people they can set this up for you. Then after you have it in that mode, you plug an Ethernet cable into one of the ports (not WAN). Plug the other end into the WAN port on ANY ROUTER THAT HAS A WAN PORT. Get one that has wireless capabilities (obviously), brand makes no difference, just get something relatively new. Then all you need is your techy person to configure the router PPPoE settings with your username and password that your ISP gave you. Essentially what you are doing is only using your modem to go from the small phone jack plug (analog) to the bigger 8 wire Ethernet cable (digital) that all your computers use if wired in. Have the Techy person set up your wireless with a password, use WPA2/psk for best results. Also make sure you get a wireless N router since they are the best price for performance until AC comes down in price. Good luck and cheers! (btw Netgear is kinda lame)

A wireless router is ok. Contact tech support on how to do it when the time comes

I had the same issue, I called up dlink tech support desk, so after 3 failed attempts to fix the problem, they sent me the replacement AC model. The new router is working fine now but w/ occasional signal disconnect. Overall, I'd say - if possible get your money back and go for netgear.

Wireless Routers do not depend on your Operating System what-so-ever. It's entirely about your equipment being compatible with either 2.4GHz or 5 GHz wireless signal, as well as the wireless type (N is best/most common currently), or G, or A or B. If your computer is new enough to have Windows 8, you most certainly meet all the criteria.

Thanks for your question. Any quality router will work with this amazing TV.

I have the Actiontec/Qwest Q1000 and have had a great connection. We have a desktop, laptop, ipad, 2 ipods and 1 cell all running on the Wifi. I do not have experience with the other modem. I have been very pleased with my modem.

I purchased this unit a month ago and it worked fine with Qwest/Century Link ADSL. Also, it worked easily right out of the box - I didn't have to call Century Link customer service at all. It does not support VDSL, however. Make sure you have ADSL (which is more common) if you want to use this modem.

Mine is an Apple router, but I agree with the previous answer. Any kind of router should work. Slight loss of bandwith from upstairs to downstairs, but not enough to cause viewing problems

I bought a new one because all other options (including new from other mfgrs approved by Century Link) were less than satisfactory. Mine works for up to 40mg. My suggestion: buy a new Qwest Q 1000.

Aye this is essentially a wireless router only. You'll have to purchase the wireless adaptor seperately. I think they make one that pairs with this one particularly, but any wireless adaptor should be fine.

I have not used any Westell modem with this router. The Motorola Surf Modem worked well with it, that is what I can say.

I agree I tried a Belkin router because for the price it seemed better than linksys. i am constantly restarting the router and looseing connection. I to am returning the belkin to get a lynksys.

Thanks very much, that worked for me (Linksys router and Xoom with Android 3.1). Mine is WPA but the problem was that I was using the password I made up, when the Android 3.1 OS wanted the security key (many characters).

I found instructions on the QWEST (now Centurylink) Web site. You have to drill down a bit and hunt for it, but it was there a few months ago.

Thanks for your responses. I purchased the Sony BDP-S680. It installed easily and found my home wireless network easily. The most time consuming thing was getting my network info inputted!
