I do appreciate the help. However, it did not solve my ultimate problem. I got the modem when I was a Verizon customer and am now a customer of a company called AMA Techtell. The DSL tech at AMA told me the Westell modem should work with their service, but since it isn't their usual modem, he couldn't guarantee. I have tried and tried but could not get the modem to see my current providers DSL signal. Like I said, I appreciate the help, but I am still going to have to by a wireless router if I want to go wireless on my laptop. Thanks a bunch
