Re: modem B90 36r516 Anyone help? said by biker1bob:Does the old 516 have a web interface?? all the common locations like 192.168.0.1 or .0.10 or .0.254 dont seem to work The 516 has no web interface and you must use a westell utility to change the vpi/vci if needed
Do you know if the isp requires the use of pppoe or dhcp |

| Hmmm not positive, was told if the modem worked on bell it would work with them.. but I know this can only use pppoe right? could I not use with a router in bridged mode and still work with dhcp?

The 516 is always in bridge mode

| Acanac is who I plan to use.
OK, always in bridge mode.. so I either use the router or XP etc.. but their service is 6mb the 516 is 8mb max..
I figure this should work fine, I want to use a WRT54GL to use wireless and setup a wifi hotspot anyway.

| Thanks wayjac.. that helps. I know I can get a modem for $40 but it seems wrong to throw away stuff that works.
