User Friendly Installation
- The gateway’s user friendly installation and ease of use is ideal for consumers who want a gateway that is simple to set up and protects their PC and other networked devices from security threats. Motorola gateways are supplied with an easy-to-use Motorola Wi-Fi installation wizard — an auto Wi-Fi provisioning tool — which seamlessly configures a secure Wi-Fi connection on a user’s machine. When the Wi-Fi wizard is finished, a secure, encrypted Wi-Fi connection is established to the gateway protecting the home and the user.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
The 2247-N8 is equipped with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) pairing technology. WPS is a certification program from the Wi-Fi Alliance that is designed to ease the task of setting up and configuring Wi-Fi Security. WPS enables typical users who possess little understanding of traditional Wi-Fi configuration and security settings to automatically configure new Wi-Fi networks, add new devices, and enable security.

Great Modem... A Pain to Setup... August 13, 2011
By C. May
Amazon Verified Purchase
Great modem, great signal strength and speeds, that is if you can get it set up... Set up for the device was very difficult, and the included software didn't work for me at all.

I know this is less of a review and more of a tutorial, but I thought I'd post it here, because I saw a lot of Amazon users were having the same problems as I had setting this thing up. I probably worked for 2-3 hours trying to get this modem to up and running... I even spent some time on the phone with Qwest/Century Link but to no avail since it's a third party modem and one they don't lease out.

At first I tried using the "easy" set up wizard software included with the modem, but it didn't work for me at all. The Power light was green as well as the Wireless and DSL light, but the internet light was blinking Red... So I quickly ditch the CD and set up the modem manually.

I finally figured out how to get this thing up and running. What I had to do was manually set the VPI and VCI numbers which are set automatically by default. When I figured this out I was able to get the modem working.

Bellow I have listed the steps I took... Note, the problems I dealt with may not be the same as the ones you may experience so this tutorial may not work for you... but hopefully this helps someone.

PRE-SETUP:
a. Call your ISP to get your PPP Username and Password... Also ask them to give you the VPI and VCI number.
b. Connect to the modem via wifi or ethernet cable.
c. Rest the modem by holding the reset button on the back for 15 seconds... then follow these steps...

Step 1:
In your browser's address bar enter: "192.168.1.254"

NOTE: By default the LAN IP address is 192.168.1.254. If the default address has been changed, enter the custom address in the address box.

Step 2:
a. enter a LAN custom password
b. log-in using your LAN password and "admin" as the username.

Step 3:
You should now be looking at the quick start page.

On the Quickstart page,
a. PPP Username - Enter the DSL username.
b. PPP Password - Enter the DSL password.
c. Confirm Password - Reenter the DSL password.
d. Click the Connect button.

NOTE: You need the username and password provided by your ISP - You may need to call your ISP to get this info if you don't have it on hand.

If you are able to connect using the username and password you should be looking at the "DIAGNOSTIC" page now...

Step 4:
Click on the "CONFIGURE" link. (on the left-hand menu)
The "CONNECTION CONFIGURATION" page should appear.

Step 5:
On the CONNECTION CONFIGURATION page,
a. Uncheck the "AUTO DETECTION VPI/VCI
b. VPI - Enter the value specified by the DSL Provider.
c. VCI - Enter the value specified by the DSL Provider.

NOTE: If the Gateway is connecting to any of the follow DSL providers, try the following settings... Again call your DSL ISP for this number if it isn't listed bellow.
- AT&T Southwest Provider (former SBC) usesVPI: 0 & VCI: 35
- AT&T Southeast Provider (former BellSouth) usesVPI: 8 & VCI: 35
- Qwest/Century Link Provider usesVPI: 0 & VCI: 32
- Covad Provider usesVPI: 0 & VCI: 35

d. Click the Apply Changes button.

To Verify Internet Connection:
1. Click "HOME" link on the left-hand menu.
2. If the "DSL" and "WAN" status say "UP," then you should be set up!

You may now want to click on "Configure" then "Wireless" then "Security" to set-up a password for your Wi-Fi.

Hope this helps someone.

If that didn't work for you check out:

this page helped me out immensely.

Good luck!

Edit: Just to let everyone know a little more about my experience with this modem. The process I described above has to be done every single time the modem is unplugged or switched off. I am still using this, but as soon as I get the chance I plan on getting a different wireless modem.

as expected March 15, 2011
By Tom Gaines
I replaced an older Actiontec modem as I thought it may have been the culprit in some home network problems I was having. I have Qwest DSL as a service provider and upgraded to an Actiontec PK-5000. I also have an apple tv 2g at home. I discovered however through trial and error that the PK-5000 does not support the apple tv as it should. If plugged into the router with an Ethernet cable I was fine but it would not recognize it wirelessly.
I stopped at best buy and picked this up for 98 bucks. The store associates didn't' even recognize it as something they carried. Regardless I brought it home and hooked it up.
1. The installation is not exactly flawless. You need to know your ISP's user name for your modem to access their network. (among other things)
2. The modem won't always recognize that password. If this happens after or during installation, reset the modem by holding down the reset button for 15 sec. + then find it in your browser. The address is not typical and you should look at the little book that comes with it.
3. There is only ONE phone jack in the back so unless you have a splitter you can't have DSL and your phone going through this modem.
4. The menus for configuration could certainly be a nicer interface BUT if you know your way around security protocols and have ½ a brain you should be able to fumble through and make your wireless secure.
5. It recognized apple tv 2g through its wireless connection in short order, I simply had to re-input my security key.
6. Your home laptop may tell you that your security settings don't match the wireless settings of the network. (delete the wireless connection and re-look for wireless connections) Again fumble your way through and you'll get it.
Now I will say that through all of my fumbling around I had it set up and working on my desktop, laptop, Wii, and apple tv 2g in about 40 minutes. It seems to work great, pages seem to load quickly, speed tests are averaging the same as they were before (that being said, the rural community I live in is having serious speed issues with qwest) and there is peace in the valley. It's a bit more spendy than other DSL modems but it does support ADSL2, does allow Ethernet connections (3 not 4 as one is used for your DSL connection) and it is a low profile unit that hides well in your office. The biggest drawbacks I see are the telephone jack and the price you pay for "commercial grade firewall protection" ummmm ok I saw nothing on this modem that was not on my 5 year old modem as far as security goes but it does have plenty of security that YOU MUST ENABLE it is not automatic. (Some people seem to think this is the case...weird)
I will update this review if anything changes...Happy Surfing!

configuration nightmare September 21, 2011
By chgohotdog
From a hardware standpoint this may be a great, fast router/modem, however...
The software that comes with this product is utterly TERRIBLE!!! Truly the worst, biggest pain in the rear of any of the many I have ever used.
The set-up software looks like is was ported to the Mac from Windows 95, and works about as well.
The gateway homepage configuration utility is abysmal. Even the simplest changes are either labyrinthine or impossible or just plain don't work. Want to change the DNS to use Open DNS or Google DNS? Forget it. Want to set-up multiple SSID's? Forget it. Want support beyond basic FAQ? Forget it.
