Before you disconnect any existing ISP gear, please read this initial section carefully, as there is information
we need from the existing deployment.
There are two forms of DSL login, the most common is PPPoE and Windstream exclusively uses this for
DSL. TDS uses two dierent approaches, one supports PPPoE and the other uses DHCP.
All the PPPoE cases require that you know your ISP-provided credentials.
Windstream, this is your user@windstream.net and an ISP-provided PPPoE password
TDS, this your current user@tds.net email address and current email password.
For TDS users, here’s how you determine if you are on a DHCP link.
• Log into your current TDS router by going to 192.168.0.1 with a browser
• Click on Connection status and you will get a display that look like this:
• If the ISP Protocol says “1483 via DHCP”, then you must use DHCP as the connection style in steps 20
& 21.
Before we start, please execute a speed test on the old gear so we have a good record of the ‘before’
state. Instructions for this start on step 33 on page 13.
