Re: [connectivity] Strange Westell 2200 & Linksys WRT54G (v6) Is

said by Belspur:

Jeff,

Are you MAC Address bound?
I don't know -- would that be something on Verizon's tech support page for DSL customers?

I would think that there is a whole section on Verizon's website as to how to get this Linksys router working with the Westell, as the Linksys WRT54G is a very popular router, and I'm sure the 2200 is a very popular device from Verizon.

I have a westell 2200, and a linksys wrt54g. Both worked out of the box, never a problem.

I've heard there was problems with wrt54g (v5) I don't know about (v6)

You don't need the verizon supplied CD. All that does is set up your name and password which you say he has. Plus some verizon help crap that's useless, unless you're a newbie.

Setting the modem to bridge, diabling DHCP, while it's connected to the ethernet port, then connect your router into the mix, and loging in using through the router with your verizon user name and password should be all that's required.

Ok, then if that's the case his authentication information he provided me was incorrect. I should be going back in about a week or tow to give it another shot.

Thanks
