A day or two before the installation date, I got a call saying the installation was canceled, and they didn't know when service would be available. I signed up online for service, and scheduled an installation date with no issues (about a month in advance). The initial setup/install was interesting. I cannot access the setup program by entering 192.168.0.1 in browser address bar. Get the firmware updated, and get the USG adopted before trying to set it up on the WAN facing the ONT. This is not the most powerful router, but is more than. Use that to get started, then setup your USG before removing their router from the system. I got the service up and running initially with their modem, and then switched over to USG after everything was up and running. The problem with CenturyLink s list is that all the modem routers on the list are outdated utilizing the outdated 802.11n protocol. The newest premium WiFi gateways that we offer are the models pictured below. Had to get in touch with customer service to get the username/password for PPPoE. CenturyLinks all-in-one modem/router, referred to as a gateway, allows you to connect your WiFi-enabled devices to the internet without additional equipment. I was running the network setup on Comcast before moving and joining CL. Hello all, I was able to successfully connect my Archer AX21 WiFi 6 router to Centurylink Fiber. Have only had one outage, that latest for maybe 20 minutes. Some slow down in throughput when on VPN, but that may be on the company side of things. I also work from home, and use our company VPN to get into the next work.

Speeds have been at, or very close to advertised. The modem Im using is the ZyXEL C3000Z which was provided by CenturyLink. I'm north of Tucson AZ, with CL fiber, and USG 3P, USW-8, a couple of in-walls, etc.
