Re: DSL Connectivity and D-Link 655

Does the Westell W327 modem have an exact model# on the sticker?

By looking up the particular modem at Westell's website,it tells me that your modem was issued from Verizon.

Look on Verizon's website for instruction to bridge the modem,as nwrickert See Profile suggested.

Here's the tutorial,"Changing your VersaLink 327W gateway to Bridge Mode",on Verizon's website. Hope this helps.

Okay, this is the last of the dumb questions (I hope).

I read the Verizon instructions in its entirety. At the end of the process its tells me I'm in Bridge mode and then it tells how to turn Wireless on and then says to follow the third-party instructions to attach the new router to the verizon network.

I was my understanding that once I put it in Bridge mode the connection between the modem and DIR655 would be WAN cable.

My questions is, Once its in Bridge mode, why would I want to turn wireless on?

Thanks
Bob
