said by JohnA :Pete, shouldn't she just reset the modem and start over. no, freenow, it was a question of resetting MY DA*N BRAIN  . have i said i'm SO embarrassed???
anyway, it's hooked up to the router, all is well, and aside from a BAD bruising to my ego and my geek goddess reputation (never said i knew squat about networking ), all is fine! and one good thing that came out of this: i am, as we speak, re-writing my FAQ on putting the westell 2200 in bridge mode to include a tad more info for the other "had a long nite with patients and was working on half a brain" users out there like me .
PetePuma, you are a lifesaver. freenow, i know you would have jumped right in if pete hadn't come to the rescue.
said it before, will say it again: you guys are great.

See if your stats are any different. You'll be able to see the upstream now. |

1 edit | said by JohnA :See if your stats are any different. You'll be able to see the upstream now. can't tell right now in terms of 3/768, since the speed upgrade hasn't gone into effect yet, but i will say that the speed test i just did now is just the slightest bit faster on the download and almost 20 points slower on the upload (1488/363 vs. 1485/380 here---going to try ANL). at this point, i'm hooked back into the router, but with the 2200 in bridge instead of the 2100.
will take the time to switch stuff around again once i get the upgrade, just because i know others will be interested. but for me, i'll stick with the 2200 as long as it's working .
glad you helped me feel brave  and learned two lessons:
1. you can undo even the stupidest mistakes;
2. NEVER tackle a techie job when you've been up with a patient all nite and only had two cups of coffee .

Pull the 1.5/384 2200 stats before it's upgraded. You'll want to compare them after you get your upgrade, and some sleep. |

re: the sleep---from your mouth to the powers that be's ears! . thanx.
