1 edit | Re: [modem/router] Westell 6100 F and Linksysezxs55w 5 port swit said by csconner5 :Recently we had an electrical storm that knocked out the original DSL modem. Verizon replaced with a Westell 6100F DSL modem/router. I have been successful in getting one directly connected Ethernet computer to connect to internet but when I attempt to connect the Linksys ezxs55w 5 port switch, I am not successful. DSL modem has no data light .... Once you are able to get online with one PC directly connected to the 6100F, then adding a switch is all you should need to do to expand your network.
But the fact that the data light does not come on when the switch is attached indicates a problem with either the ethernet cable used or the switch itself - perhaps the lightning took it out as well. -- reboot, reset, reconfigure, then recycle. |
