Is there a way to make it stop disconnecting or is that normal for all westell model 327w? ... Your attenuation is not that high that you're too far from the CO to have to downgrade your speed or try to change your DSL type--all useless BS. Just clean up the noise on your line and your margin will improve. Your DSL connection should support the full 3M rate without any disconnects if the line is clean. Check for noise on the phone/voice line... call your phone repair--not DSL--to have them fix any noise presence on the line first. Check all devices connected to your phone line to see if any of them are defective and possibly causing the noise and disconnects. Check the DSL filters for these devices too as they can fail over time. Lastly, check your 327W--notorious for failures, poor performance and inconsistent reliability--for overheating and damage from ESD and/or spikes/surges. This modem/router has been known to fail over time and causes disconnects. Try testing with another DSL modem if possible--get a cheap one off eBay or even free ones off Craigslist.

Yes, a Linksys router is compatible with Verizon DSL, however, you must either have the router attached to the modem or you must have a Linksys with a built-in modem. If anything, connecting a Linksys to the line/modem won't make a difference disconnect wise most of the time if the line itself is losing sync or is just losing the PPPoE/DHCP lease. Some modems are more tolerant than others and some just work better than others. I wouldn't be able to tell you personally since I'm using a Westell 6100 to Linksys WRT54GX setup here.
