Since then I've also gotten standard [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_subscriber_line DSL] service from AT&T which uses the typical phone line connection and, this time, a Pace 5268AC Gateway. Luckily the web interface on the 5268AC is virtually identical to that of the i38HG. I have also upgraded my router from the WRT54G to a [https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WDR3600 TP-Link TL-WDR3600] with DD-WRT firmware. Not surprisingly the DD-WRT interface is the same on both units.
The trick to getting everything to work is ensuring that the settings are correct on both the i38HG/5268AC/BGW210-700 & WRT54G/TL-WDR3600/AC1750 (running DD-WRT). Below is a explanation of the steps to go through to set your network up like mine. I'm assuming you've already got DD-WRT installed and working on your Router. If not, visit the [http://www.dd-wrt.com DD-WRT website] for help. The IP address of your i38HG Router (or 5268AC Gatewayor BGW210-700) is printed on the side, or bottom, of the unit. The default password for the i38HG is a long string of numbers printed on the side of the DC Power Supply / Battery Backup (I recommend you change this password). The 5268AC uses and the BGW210-700 use a "Device Access Code" instead which is printed on the bottom or side of the unit.

##'''Port Number(s):''' "(all)"
##'''Public IP:''' "[http://www.whatismyip.com/ <your IP address>]"<br />[[File:Settings-Firewall-Status.png]]
=BGW210-700 Setup=
#Navigate to '''Home Network / Wi-Fi'''
##Under '''Home SSID / Home SSID Enable''' select '''Off'''
##Under '''Guest SSID / Guest SSID Enable''' select ''' Off'''
##Click '''Save'''
#Navigate to '''Home Network / IP Allocation''' and make sure that nothing in the '''Allocation''' column says '''Fixed Allocation'''. If a row does say '''Fixed Allocation''' then click the '''Allocate''' button and select '''Address from DHCP pool''' in the drop down and hit '''Save'''
#Navigate to '''Home Network / Subnets & DHCP'''
##Under '''Private LAN Subnet''' set the following and then hit '''Save''':
##*'''Device IPv4 Address''': 192.168.0.1
##*'''Subnet Mask''': 255.255.255.0
##Under '''DHCP Server''' set the following and then hit '''Save''':
##*'''DHCP Server Enable''': On
##*'''DHCPv4 Start Address''': 192.168.0.2
##*'''DHCPv4 Stop Address''': 192.168.0.5
#At this point you will probably need to disconnect/reconnect the wired network from your computer since the address space of the BGW210-700 likely changed from 192.168.1.XXX to 192.168.0.XXX.
#Navigate to '''Home Network / IP Allocation''', find your DD-WRT router (based on its MAC address), click '''Allocate''' and select '''Private fixed:192.168.0.X'''. I like .2 but you may want a different # if you computer is currently using that IP.
#Now turn the BGW210-700 and DD-WRT router off and back on again to make sure the new IP settings to take.
#Navigate to '''Firewall / IP Passthrough''' and set the following, then click '''Save''':
#*'''Allocation Mode''': Passthrough
#*'''Passthrough Mode''': DHCP-fixed
#*'''Passthrough Fixed MAC Address''': (select your DD-WRT's IP/MAC from the dropdown list or enter the MAC manually)
#Once again, power cycle both the BGW210-700 and DD-WRT router.
