Re: [connectivity] Strange Westell 2200 & Linksys WRT54G (v6) Is : How do I use a router with the Westell 2200? (#9265)
A: The Westell 2200 wired modem/router Verizon is supplying can be used in either Router or Bridge mode; if you are already using a router, or want to, you need to put the modem in Bridge mode or you'll have problems. Here's how:
First, connect your PC directly to the Westell 2200 with an ethernet (CAT5 or CAT5e) cable, bypassing your router. In your browser's address box, type 192.168.1.1 to access the Modem Configuration utility. When asked for user name and password, enter your router's username and password (default for the Verizon issued routers is typically "user=admin, password=password"). Now, from the Configuration menu, choose VC configuration and set the 0/35 to bridge mode by clicking the "edit" button and using the drop down menu. Do not disable the 0/35. Save. Then, again in the Configuration menu, select DHCP Configuration and turn off the DHCP Server. Log off the utility.
Skip this next step if you've already been using your router to supply PPPoE with your username and password already. Unplug the cable from the modem and hook it up directly to your router (so your computer and your router are now hooked up and the modem isn't in the mix). Enter your router's configuration area (usually »192.168.2.1/?), choose PPPoE and, in the PPPoE area, change the log on entries to your verizon username and password.
Now (almost done!) hook a cable between the modem and the router (Verizon usually supplies one), leaving the PC to router connection in place. Reboot both devices. All should work fine now. |

1 edit | Umm, right. Thats the link I posted in my original post above, which I did use as I went into the Westell 2200's config and change the appropriate settings.
Didn't work for me, and I was wondering if I missed anything else. |
