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 (or /5268AC) & WRT54G/TL-WDR3600 (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 Gateway) 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 a "Device Access Code" instead which is printed on the bottom of the unit.
