Re: Verizon DSL speed drop. Can someone review my line?

said by jut22:

7.no, how would i go about doing that?

Well that depends on the firmware.

If you are using the Red and Black firmware:

#1 Quote from »Verizon DSL FAQ »How do I use a router with the Westell 6100?
quote:
Click the My Network icon again, click Network Connections from the left menu again. On the Broadband Connection screen, click the word "Lan",

#2 Once you are at that screen. Where it says Modem IP Address, you could change it so that it is 192.168.0.1 - for example.

#3 Save/Apply your settings.

**

If you are using the White and Blue Firmware:

#1 In the Westell go to Configuration -> Private LAN Connection

#2 Again: Once you are at that screen. Where it says Modem IP Address, you could change it so that it is 192.168.0.1 - for example. And then Save/Apply your settings.

#3 Sample screen shot(s) of the Westell using the White and Blue firmware, are at:

a) »myplace.frontier.com/~pa ··· 6100.htm

and at

b) »www.pcwintech.com/screen ··· firmware

8. i set it up as pppoe.

Ok.

** Option one **

#1 As addressed in

»[modem/router] How to access 6100G's interface while connected?

Since their RJ-45 WAN router is setup for pppoe and if

b) ..the modem combo LAN IP and their RJ-45 LAN IP are not in the same subnet.

As long as the pppoe connection is down, they can access the modem combo.

By not the same subnet, for example: Modem at 192.168.0.1 and the RJ-45 WAN port router at 192.168.1.1

** Option two **

2. i have a ps3 wired in.

I take that it means, no. All of them are not in use.

If that is case: Notice what the fix that is suggested by wayjac See Profile to fix the OP's issue of the other thread.

Are these two options (above) true, you might ask.

I can not tell you it is because:

#1 I am not on PPPoE.

#2 I have never tried (and or) noticed those things.

**

Option #3 and #4 (based upon what equipment you have)

I point »Linksys FAQ »How do I access a modem that is connected to the WAN port of a Linksys Router?

Option 3 is: Both routers are not in the same subnet and then the RJ-45 WAN port router's WAN IP is set to a Static IP that is in the same subnet as the modem combo.

While I know your RJ-45 WAN port router is not a Linksys, I know this option works with other RJ-45 WAN port routers.

Option 4 is: Disconnecting your computer from the RJ-45 WAN port router, disconnecting the modem combo from the RJ-45 WAN port router, setting a Static IP on your computer's wired NIC, and hooking your wired NIC to the modem combo.
