Connection Test Failed
If your DSL modem does not currently detect a DSL signal or is having problems connecting, please check the following possibilities.
!!!!! If you just ordered a NEW DSL Internet connection, it's possible your DSL service has not yet been turned on. Please wait to install the equipment until after 7PM on your Due Date provided by your sales agent. This will ensure your DSL line has been activated. Your Due Date is available under the EMBARQ(TM) High-Speed Internet section of your EMBARQ(TM) Order Confirmation Letter.
1. Verify that the telephone cable is still properly connected between a working wall jack and the modem port labeled DSL.
2. If you are using a Dual Line filter where your DSL connection is shared with the phone, make sure the modem is connected to the port labeled DSL on the Dual Line filter.
3. Make sure ALL phones, fax machines, satellite boxes, and other devices that connect to a phone jack have a DSL phone filter attached only if filters were provided in your kit.
4. If you ordered a Static IP address, you may need to complete the configuration process for your modem. Use the IP Address, Subnet and Gateway listed in a separate letter sent to you from EMBARQ.
If you still do not have Internet connectivity after checking the above you may need to call tech support.

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/awVaW
You can try resetting your router and then to answer the other question you should be able to do a manual setup by going to the internet settings, connection settings, new connection, manual setup, then tap the black setup key and it should come up with a prompt to enter the network name and passkey.

Most of the time that means you have a shortage in your wire just simple call your internet provider and get a replacement modem and wire
Good Luck!
