Ok,i've had this 2wire modem router since august.And I have had problems with it.At first when i was using it i was using it with the normal way which was install the software and then plugged my pc and xbox 360 up to it,but there was one problem,The 2wire unit would constantly disconnect and bring a red light up almost as if it was resetting.Yahoo techs told me not to keep the unit next to speakers or any metal objects with electrical outputs which is utter b.s.,So i'm wondering this.Instead of using the modem part of the 2 wire would'nt i be able to use the router part of the unit along with my speed stream so that way i would'nt get disconnected at all and still be able to hook my mom pc and 360 up and anything else.Cuz when i hook my speed stream up i dont get no problems but only with the 2wire unit.Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunatly the 2wire modem/router combo will not work just as a router as the internet connection port goes to the modem part before the router part.
I would suggest purchasing a cheap router in one of the new years sales or ebay and make your troubles go away.

I dunno if this will help or not, but the middle light on my 2wire would also constantly turn red. it turned out to be the phone line itself. i plugged the 2wire thing into a different phone jack and that fixed the problem.
I don't know what a Speedstream is so sorry i cant help you with that.

I think if you unplug the printer and go right back to day you brought into your life. Install all the drives back in any computers that would use the device, not sure if has to be plugged in or not, you got the install instructions, don't you?
