Re: Need help setting up Router with Verizon DSL, Westell 2200.
I connected the blue cord from the desktop to the router and typed 192.168.1.1 into the browser, and nothing came up. |

Pittsburgh, PA | Now you've got me. PC connected to a LAN port of the router, router powered, go ahead and connect the WAN port of the router to the modem.
The PC should have a 192.168.1.100 IP, showing a Gateway of 192.168.1.1. It should be able to connect. |

Elkview, WV | When the Desktop is connected to the internet, I can type in 192.168.1.1 into the browser, and the modem settings DO appear. But I can not get into the Router settings. I am a bit confused myself... |

| OHHHH Now I see what I was doing wrong!
I know how to get into router settings now!
Before I was connecting the blue cord into the modem port of the Router instead of space number 1. Plugging the blue cord into space number 1 and typing in 192.168.1.1 allowed me to view the router settings! I will let you know what happens! |

Have you setup an Internet connection thru a Local Area Network (LAN)?
I was having a similar problem accessing my router .... when I entered 192.168.1.1 into the address field of my browser, it would call up my Dial-Up dialog box and attempt to call my old ISP via my 56K Modem.
After many hours or research and reading many related posts on various forums, I saw where someone said you had to setup an Internet connectiono thru a LAN. So, I did more research via my browser HELP files and proceeded to setup just such and Intnet connection - using the Internet Connection Wizard. Then, the 1st time I entered 192.168.1.1 into the address field of my browser ...... BINGO ! !
Wellllll - it helped me - don't know if it will you or not. -- willperk |

I was hoping you weren't doing that. Figured if I had you plug the modem into the WAN port, it had to be right. I know you can get in an SR41 without a WAN connection.
Matters not, all the frustration goes when it all works. Congrats, you are now a network admin. |
