WILL NOT WORK FOR CENTURY LINK W/ ADSL2+
on December 14, 2016
Posted by: CurtisMatthews
So after reading a lot of the reviews concerning century link I decided to make the purchase because some people said they got it to work. Well after two days of trying and calling century link and netgear separately I finally got fed up with the back and forth finger pointing of who's fault it is. So i call both Century Link and Netgear and got them both on a conference call so all three of us could figure it out together.
After about 20 mins of going over my internet service from Century Link and what the Netgear DM200 can do, the end result was that since i only had DSL and not DSL & telephone from Century link that the signal that Century Link was providing was only the ADSL2 signal and not the VDSL. Yes i know that the box says it does VDSL/ADSL2+ and the box also says it works for Century Link **IT DOES NOT!!!**
The DM200 can NOT process the ADSL2 from Century Link. It was told to me by the Netgear rep that the modem says it can only do VDSL and ADSL2+ by only certain providers and that the current Century Link signal i was getting was not compatible. The rep from Century Link also told me that i was his 4th call concerning that same thing with the same modem in the past two weeks and he recommended to get another modem.
The Netgear rep then told me that the best model they have for the ADSL2 signal is the Netgear DM111PSPv2. The Century Link rep also confirmed that the new modem that the Netgear rep suggested is compatible.
AND BONUS!!!! The Netgear DM111PSPv2 is $10 cheaper $$$$$$$$
