A90-210030-04 with Netgear Router problems in Westell http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r6820810 en Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:55:30 EDT Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:55:30 EDT Re: A90-210030-04 with Netgear Router problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6829007 PretzelDude : Thanks for the reply. I did get the client to change the Westell to Bridged Mode. It wasn't hard to do and seems to have fixed the problem! ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6829007 Tue, 13 May 2003 08:56:02 EDT Re: A90-210030-04 with Netgear Router problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6827008 FROSTY : Hi PretzelDude,
I had the same issue with a customer of my company.
It wasn't my responsibility, but since I've worked with routers, Westells, and DSL, I decided to fix the problem.

The customers Netgear FVS318 did the same thing. Would work fine doing the PPPoE for a random period of time, then the Netgear would lock up.

To remedy the problem, the Westell had to be set to 'Bridged Ethernet'.

Here's a FAQ on the procedure.

Hope this helps, it should. :)

I have one of my clients using Bellsouth DSL with the Westell A90-210030-04 with a Netgear FM114P Firewall Router. I want to use the Netgear to handle the PPPoE connection and it works fine...for a few minutes and then locks up. I don't have experience with this Westell product. Does anyone know if it ships with Bridged mode as the default? Any reason why it might be causing problems with the Netgear maintaining it's connection? Thanks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6820810 Mon, 12 May 2003 11:16:31 EDT
