Configuring the 2Wire 2700HG DSL Wireless Gateway

This document explains how to configure the 2Wire 2700 DSL Gateway (modem) for Windows, Macintosh and other computers.

The 2Wire 2700 DSL Gateway can support multiple computer connections. You can connect up to  4 computers directly to the 2Wire DSL Gateway using 4 wired ethernet connections.  The 2Wire 2700 DSL Gateway is wireless-ready and can support multiple wireless connections. The 2Wire 2700 DSL Gateway will also support one USB connection to a Windows (98 and up) computer. 

OlympusNet will assist you with an Ethernet or USB connection for one computer.  OlympusNet does not provide tech support for networking or wireless connectivity problems.  

Please note: after the 2wire 2700DSL Gateway has been set up, additional computers can be connected directly to the Gateway using an ethernet cable.   There is no need to reconfigure the Gateway.  The 2Wire modem is wireless-ready. To connect additional computers using wireless, join the 2Wire network, and use the key code printed on the bottom of the modem for the network password. If further help is needed setting up a network, you may need to contact a Networking Consultant for help. You may also contact Qwest technical support for help with a wireless connection at 1-800-247-7285.
