Piggy back (use DHCP dynamic) the linksys router with the Westell 7500 so that you can have 3 ports from the Westell and 4 ports from the linksys router. |

| I assumed this would be easy, but attempts to just piggy back a linksys router or switch failed. Then tried all the things suggested in various threads, again without success.
Finally talked to the advanced support people at Fairpoint (who took over from Verizon in Maine) and their advice was to go back to the defaults on the 7500. Change the IP address of the Linksys router to 192.168.2.1 and reboot everything. Worked like a charm. |
