Re: westell WEP and WPA set up

What version of the Westell 327w comes with WPA? More importantly if there is a firmware upgrade, where can I get it to enable WPA? I am currently using Version 03.00.63a.

Sounds like you have a version assembled in China and in which case, you are out of luck. There arent any publicly available firmware upgrades -- Westell doesnt support the modems shipped by Verizon. The best you can do is ask Verizon to ship you another 327w and hope its a version assembled in the USA as Verizon cannot guarantee which version gets shipped to you.

@verizon.ne		 Indeed "Made in China". So does anyone know if this has to do with encryption exportation laws? Westell doesn't support the modems shipped by Verizon? Funny, I called Verizon and they directed me to Westell.

I believe the made in china 327W were the first batch westell issued to verizon. That time the standard encryption was WEP only. Most 327W models issued with WEP only encryption, if I remember correctly, starts with A90. The USA made ones model starts with B90, like for example mine is
Model Number B90-327W15-06
And the firmware version is 03.02.00a.
