How can I tell if I have an Intel PRO/DSL 2100 or Intel PRO/DSL 2200 Modem?
View this document (PDF) to help you identify if you have an Intel PRO/DSL 2100 or Intel PRO/DSL 2200 Modem.

What is the difference between the Intel PRO/DSL 2100 and Intel PRO/DSL 2200 modems?
Qwest® Broadband customers may have one of two different versions of the Intel PRO/modems - the 2100 or 2200 model. The Intel 2100 and 2200 modems are not interchangeable. The modems use two different technologies to transport the high-speed Internet traffic; the Intel 2100 uses the CAP transport method, and the Intel 2200 uses the DMT transport method.

Why is it important to know which modem I have?
It’s crucial to know which Intel modem you have before downloading or installing any modem software. If you download and install the wrong software drivers, your modem won’t function. View this document (PDF). It may help you identify if you have an Intel PRO/DSL 2100 or Intel PRO/DSL 2200 Modem.
