Some verizon versions of the Westell modems (6100, 327w, 7500) come with firmware that directs you to a walled garden, from which it is hard to escape.

If you are on Verizon, this might not be a problem. The purpose of the walled garden is to help you configure your modem. However, if you are using a verizon version of the modem with another provider, then the walled garden arrangement prevents you from getting to the modem configuration pages.

To turn off the walled garden, follow the advice in the Verizon FAQ:
»Verizon Online DSL FAQ »How to Turn off the Walled Garden
