John ran all night but couldn't crack any of my passwords. That is good news, but now I'm not sure about the pppoe password. As a last resort before calling Qwest I installed the Netgear software. Surprise, it prompted me for my id and password and connected to the Qwest DSL. The whole process took a long time, but it worked. Good thing there was a spare WindowsXP machine available.
Download speed, according to speedtest.net improved slightly, but the upload speed dropped considerable. Maybe one of the ASDL setting need tweeking.
The software on the Netgear DGND3300 is much superior to the Actiontec PK5000. The Netgear has wireless guest logins, easy port forwarding, dedicated IP addresses by MAC, and syslog forwarding. Besides it is dual band and supports 802.11 a/b/g/n.
