Re: Westell 7500 And Linksys WRT610N When the linksys use 192.168.1.2 as LAN ip, and subnet mask 255.255.255.0, it expects the full range 192.168.1.* to be on the LAN side of the router. So the WAN IP it gets from the Westell is supposed to be a LAN address rather than a WAN address.
Changing to 192.168.2.1 for linksys address will change that. It will expect LAN IPs to be of the form 192.168.2.*, and having a 192.168.1.* address on the WAN side of the router will no longer be a conflict.
As for bridge settings: If you are in an area where Verizon uses PPPoE, then you would have to setup the linksys for handling the PPPoE to get an IP address. I'm not sure whether that's your situation.

I will try changing it to the 2.1 and PPPoE on the Linksys.
I set up the Linksys to use PPPoE when I change the westell to Bridge mode and it did not work.
Thanks again, networking is a new world to me. |
