At times I just want to unplug and then make it all a mute point but I rely on the internet for income. So I have tried to do my due diligence with endless letters to state and federal agencies on all this but to no avail. I know there is nothing we can do since the states have not much oversight on how these monopolies operate. I have a Vizio M65-C1 tv and I can't seem to use unblock us for Netflix with it. It depends on what type of wireless you have in all your equipment. I know there are many variables depending on what you are using with all this so it is hard to say everyone with a PK5000 should get this _. I am pretty certain CL will be as unhelpful at possible and drag their feet and lie to me and make me buy another rental unit from them.
Centurylink pk5000z how to#
I have no idea how to set new unit up since I am locked out of my PK5000. I think getting a new unit to replace this this 8 yr old unit might be a prudent way to go.

So rebooting modem/router and hoping it will work and then be offline and not be able to know what to buy is a bad strategy. I can't be off line for long since I sell online and need access. I use unblock us to get about 12Mbps for the computers for all of 4.99 a month. I just don't have tons of money to throw at this now. Newer homes have gone in with gated community across the street and I think they have much better service. I live in rural area and old phone lines for dsl is the best CL will ever offer us older homes. So having super fast internet does me no good really when everything is already down throttled. My dsl account is 50.99 for 7MB but I get about 6Mbps so it says. I live in a small house but wireless functionality would be optimum. I mentioned all this since many report that it all depends on what you are using will determine which router and modem will work best for you. TV supports 802.11ac which is faster than any provider can give me with Netflix or other streaming service so kind of pointless.

HP computer uses n only (but I could install a better wifi card). Since the PK5000 only does G wireless maybe I would benefit from more versatile unit with more options with wireless types:

I would like to replace my PK5000 with a better unit and would be interested in a separate modem and router. If I could replace the PK5000 without having to interface with CL that would be SPECTACULAR! No kidding. I just dread having to once again deal with all the lies and delays and sneaky stuff. So for me to replace anything it will be a huge deal and I am sure with all my complaints to CL and regulators they will make it as painful as possible.

Then they locked down my PK5000 without a word so I have no idea what the password or username is anymore.

When Century Link took over the down throttling began in earnest.

They sent me out another PK5000 and set it where no updates were possible. I had a network extender due to being in rural area and when the updates for the PK5000 took place then the network extender wouldn't work. At that time they allowed me to access the settings. I must have gotten this PK5000 back in 2009 with Qwest. They lie lie lie and so I am trying to find objective info on replacement. I sell online and can't be down for long so I would like a quick effective approach to replacing my modem/router. The Ethernet works thus I am able to communicate with you here today. My PK5000 wireless functionality went out yesterday. I had a hard time finding what the specs were for my old PK5000 but was able to find it here at Speed Guide.īased on this spec info I must have a ADSL with CenturyLink. I would first like to thank the admins for the helpful info they provide on these old units.
