If you are reading this article, you probably are looking for on how to set up your new Yahoo 2wire DSL modem. Throughout this paper I will be using a 2wire 2700HG-B wireless router, but this tutorial will also apply to other routers that 2wire provides At&t with. The first thing to do when setting up your 2wire dsl modem is plug the dsl filters into all your touchtone phone jacks, where you plan having a phone. On one of the dsl filters, you should see a dual filter that reads touchtone phone and DSL/HPNA, on the side that says DSL/HPNA plug a phone cable into this port, then run the other end of the phone cable into the telephone port on the back of the 2wire dsl router.

Once you have connected the telephone line, plug a ethernet cable into port 1 of the router, then connect the other end of the ethernet cable into your computer. Once you have made the connections between your pc and the router, and the modem and the dsl filter.
