Before changing anything have a look at the page where the changes will be made, if you have questions ask

With this setup the 7105 wan port is not used
You should connect the 7105 to another computer using a cable to make the changes

So the 7501 has a ethernet wan port?

yes the 7501 has a wan port. i made the changes setting up the network with the router and modem as instructed and its in the process of restarting itself right now

now nothing connects. it says internet status not connected. and thats with the changes made as you instructed.

Remember that the 7501 has a new ip address 192.168.200.200
Remember that you must not connect anything to the 7501 wan port

Do you have the wireless settings set up already or do you need to do that

reply to theagitated
Ok disconnect the 7501 from the 6100
Connect a computer to the 6100 you should be able to connect to the internet again

reset all the settings and the way i had it routed

Does that mean you did a factory reset of the 7501

yea i reset the 7501 to factory settings

also the wireless setup is already done my computer running wireless internet already reads the 7501 wirelessly. my only problem is getting the 750 to read an internet ip address

What is the ip address of the 7501

the ip on the 7501 is 192.168.200.1. the whole issue is getting the 7501 to connect to the internet as in browsing the web.

Ok I think I can help you do this
Does the 6100 have internet access now and can you leave a computer connected to it so we can talk

Do you have a second computer you can use to connect to just the 7501 to make some changes to it

yes the 6100 computer has access even though its older then dirt... this is my other computer thats running off a neighbor's bootlegged signal.. i have access to keep talking... and just to make sure we're on same page. i am trying to run a westell 6100 dsl modem through a westell 7501 router to link my second computer to the internet. the 7501 has the E1-E4 ports on it a wan port and a female usb port on the back of the router
