“My ISP (CenturyLink) is telling me that this modem will not support or run with 25mbps DSL and I will have to use their modem, is this true? ISP tells me that the Netgear ADSL+2 will not work with 25 Mbps internet and I will have to use their modem/router combo. Is this true or will I be able to utilize my Netgear?”

NO-find another one compatible These are still being sold as being compatible with ISP-broadband through Century Link. About month ago my ISP stop working, and bought another modem thinking modem went bad. This modem is no longer compatible Century Link broadband. From: CenturyLink ([email protected]) You moved this message to its current location. Sent: Tue 9/06/16 8:18 PM Lenny L.: Thank you for waiting, seems like the modem you have is no longer compatible with our service.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have DSL through CenturyLink and this modem works great. Sounds like they just want to get you to pay their monthly rental fees. Just do the basic setup when you first get it plugged in and put it in to automatically detect your ISP (Centurylink) and it will start working right away. There are instructions included on how to do this.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.@ North Carolina. i just completed a conversion from netgear modem router to Century Link Prism TV essential package, if your only using internet access for WIFI NETGEAR is all you need. your speed choice does not madder. contact netgear.com for any details, however if your opting for prism TV diffinetly store your modem/router for another day and let century link modem / router combo work your system, the newest router even has expanded WIFI capability and works great, prism is HD digital format and has a separate control Box for the TV remote, HD content for viewing prism TV is better decoded by century links equipment.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Try your netgear first we have century link and it works fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.https://internethelp.centurylink.com/internethelp/pdf/modems/datasheet-q2000.pdf Actually it is the Action Tec that has the pair bonding. The Cisco I identified earlier was not a pair bonder.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.ADSL2+ modems are limited to 24,576 kilobits per second downstream and 3,584 kilobits per second upstream. Century Link is probably using a pair bonding modem that combines the capability of two telephone circuits to ensure you get the full 25Mbit/s. That is special equipment not usually sold in retail stores. For example the Cisco DDR2200 Residential Gateway has two telephone inputs on the back. https://internethelp.centurylink.com/internethelp/pdf/modems/datasheet-ddr2200.pdf So, no the Netgear DM111PSP is not going to work in a line bonding setup for 25Mbps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would suggest buying the Netgear from Best Buy (using online sources to make sure you get the best price with their best price guarantee), and take it home to try. They WILL accept a return if it doesn't work, and then you save the extra markup in cost from your provider.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can't answer this question. I don't anywhere close to where such ISP speeds are available. But I am envious. Obviously the circuits in such a high speed modem will be put to the test. My best advice is to call Netgear tech support or check out their forum(s). Have you considered how you will connect your modem and router for such speeds?
