Thanks for the offer, Hugh.

I bought one last week, plugged it in and it connected.
However, I could not login to http://gateway.2wire.net/setup (or even 
http://gateway.2wire.net) to configure the gateway, as per the 
installation guide.

I exchanged the gateway, still no luck.

Did you manage to connect to http://gateway.2wire.net/setup?

I'm with Teksavvy with a static IP and a subnet.
If I can't configure the gateway, then the subnet will not be accessible 
as well as the wireless.
I'm going to keep this as a "emergency spare" too :-)

A Teksavvy support rep informed me that Bell has their own firmware on 
the gateway so it won't work.
My first purchase had an AT&T sticker on it. The one I exchanged had no 
sticker.
That may explain why I can't login to configure the gateway.

If you can configure your gateway, your assistance will be greatly 
appreciated.
Thanks again.
