has any one tried it with CenturyLink internet DSL?

We are a CL reseller and use them all the time. We use them mostly in Bridge mode and PPPOE, but there's no reason that it shouldn't work with DHCP. They are solid units.

It works fine. However, it's a pain to get it configured. I had to spend some time on the CenturyLink support line to get it working. There are over a dozen screwy little settings that all have to be perfect to make the connection. I think that's CentryLinks problem though. They want you to 'rent' a modem from them, so they make it the biggest pain possible to use your own. You have to pry each setting you need out of them over the phone. So yes, this modem will do the job. Expect pain from CenturyLink no matter what modem you use.

No experience with CenturyLink, but my experience with set-up showed that having tech support from your DSL provider ON THE PHONE while you walk through the set-up wizard so they can provide correct answers to the questions is the easiest way. I've had no problems with this modem since I purchased it.

Yes, and it works just fine. Mine is connected to an Apple extreme wireless network, but set up modem with direct cat5 cable (included) with your computer.

No, you are not compelled to use the PK5001z with Century link. If you go to the Century Link website they will give you a list of routers/modems that are compatible with the service. Sometimes it may be a regional necessity to use a certain type of unit though. I use the PK5001z simply because it is the easiest and fastest broadcast for my purposes. It is easily compatible with all my peripherals, some very old and some new.

Yes, however I would not recommend any Netgear product because of their lack of customer service. I changed to TP-Link they have great products and real customer service, for my CenturyLink DSL I use the TD-W8980 as a matter of fact I own two of them due to the fact that my DSL is so slow I had to install an additional DSL line so my wife and I could get some sort of speed, 1.5mbps is very slow even on a good day.

Sorry but I can't say for sure. I have had no experience with century link but I would think it would work as all routers, modems and isp's have the same data to work with.

This item does work with a DSL connection, it is what I'm using as well. Good luck!

Yes. I started with dial up using this unit. Now use DSL via the same phone line both work fine.

I've been using this on Centurylink for four months now, with no problems so far. I think this uses the same hardware (possibly a newer version) as the Tenda, but the Zoom software interface is IMO much better.

Marvin, I have this unit and 40MBPS with Century Link. So, it should work for you. Kerry

Century link provides a recommended list here:http://qwest.centurylink.com/internethelp/modem-compatibility-table-q.htmlAny decent DSL modem should work.

Don't assume it works with centurylink everywhere. It depends on the areas because in my area it didn't work because we are running a different network.

I've had no issues with it. The tech when he installed my service tried to upsell me a newer modem saying this one was too slow. I constantly get 8 Mbps down and 5 up. And yes I have Comcast.

I am using the Actiontec GT701D with Century Link right now and it works perfectly. Here is the link to the Century Link modem compatibility chart: http://internethelp.centurylink.com/internethelp/modem-compatibility-table-q.html

Yes it works for CenturyLink but I had nothing but problems with this model. I ended up with a seperate modem and router and didn't have a problem afterwards

I am using it with TWC now & have been for several years. TWC provided it back when I subscribed to their phone service years ago.

I'm using it with Netgear ones and it works fine though I couldn't configure it using the Netgear software - had to configure them from the D-Link admin page
