How to set up cisco cable modem to 2wire wireless?

I recently switch from At&T to charter cable who gave me a Cable modem. I connected Charter Cisco modem to 2wire because the 2wire has wireless. I got Ethernet and internet connection to my PC but my Iphone4 has NO internet connection even though it shows Wi-Fi connection the 2wire. Do i need to configure something in the ATT 2wire for it to work. NOTE: from my iphone i can access the 2wire settings

It will be difficult or impossible to set up.

Your 2Wire is a DSL gateway. There's no external WAN port to connect to the cable modem.

A gateway is combo modem and router in one enclosure. The WAN connection is internal inside the common case.

A wireless router connects two separate networks and manages the traffic between them.

In most home network applications the router connects your local group of computers and devices known as the LAN with the Internet, commonly called the WAN or Wide Area Network.

Without being able to properly connect your cable modem to the router WAN connection it will not function properly.

Your best bet is to by a standalone wireless router that can be properly connected and configured to work with your cable modem.

Wireless routers are fairly inexpensive depending on the features you desire.http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&keywords=wireless%20router&linkCode=ur2&qid=1372496245&rh=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A541966%2Cn%3A300189%2Ck%3Awireless%20router%2Cp_72%3A1248879011&rnid=1248877011&tag=excharge-20

  • What's the guest password for Cisco Connect? My internet isn't working and I'm using my IPhone to ask this question. I need Cisco connect so i can use the internet without using up my data. What's the password for Cisco Connect? And if there's a setup thingy, please note the only thing i can use is an IPHONE. My computers are all down because of no internet.
  • My At&t 2wire router is very slow? The average speed of the router is only 30 mbps and sometimes, the speed drops below 20 mbps. At that point, I can do almost nothing online. I get this message all the time that says the router "broadband link error" and after a minute or so, it tells me I have to close all tabs and reopen internet explorer because the problem is fixed. I know these devices are being very slow: Iphone 3, 4, 4s, ipod 3rd gen Macintosh (Not sure of the model) Dell inspiron laptop
  • I have an IPhone 5s and, at home, a cable modem. How fast are they? I know the advertised internet speeds but what is the best, most accurate way to find their actual speeds?
  • How to print from iPhone 5 with a Cisco Connect Wi-Fi Router? I have the Cisco Linksys EA3500 Router, the iPhone 5, and an HP printer (that doesn't support AirPrint). I want to print from my iPhone - the printer is in the USB port of the router. How the heck do I get to print something? I'm able to print from my laptop to the printer with no problems because they're on the same wireless network, so why can't I do that with my iPhone? Basically, what app or what steps do I need to do to make it so I can print from my iPhone?
