Re: Westell 6100 Bridging / Unbridging problem
Having the same problem with Centurytel. Was using Belkin Wireless G F5D7234-4 from walmart and a Westell 6100. It was working great until June 3rd. Not sure what happened on that day but I can no longer use the belkin router. I tried using a switch that I am sure there is nothing wrong and have used with the westell before, but that apparently is not allowed by centurytel either.
Of course the westell is fine when directly connected to the desktop. I tried the bridging solution with no luck. IP addresses were fine. Belkin was using 192.168.2.1 already.
I have tried different sets of IP addresses also.
If modem is unplugged from desktop to add the belkin back into the mix, it will not allow me to navigate back to the modem site after removing the belkin router. I have been hitting the reset button on the westell and re-entering the centurytel password to gain access again.(this is a new behavior and did not occur before June 3rd)
I am almost ready to give up and ask century tel how much their wireless router is going to cost me.
still curious what they could have done to pull this off. |
