Mount Pleasant, MI | Westell won't provide support for the B and C models. Since they were designed for Verizon and Bell South, they point you back to the respective companies. | |

| Re: New firmware for Westell 327W - version 4.4.3 It's usable, just annoying. Another problem is that they make you click through warnings even if you're trying to look at a page that only shows information. It looks like they were too lazy to separate out the specific pages where config changes can be made and just put a warning upon entering any section containing at least one such page. For example, if you click on "System Monitoring" and then "Advanced Status", you have to click through a warning even though many subpages, such as "Transceiver Statistics", don't allow modifying anything. | |

| Re: New firmware for Westell 327W - version 4.4.3 My downstream stats _might_ be a little bit improved (same margin with lower transmit power), but I'm not 100% sure. There was a significant improvement in this regard with the last firmware upgrade. Too bad Verizon doesn't bother explaining what the upgrades do. I'm not familiar enough with the old feature set to notice if there are any additions. | |

| Re: New firmware for Westell 327W - version 4.4.3 Also, the upgrade may take a few minutes, so don't panic and try to interrupt it if it appears frozen for a bit - doing so could turn the router into a doorstop. After the firmware flash is complete, the web page will indicate that the router is rebooting automatically, and after that it's done. | |

| Re: New firmware for Westell 327W - version 4.4.3 Thanks for your help. I used Westell 327W when I was in New York.I brought it to go back China. Before I upgraded the firmware, I can use it in China with PPPoE, sometimes it reboot automatically. So I upgraded the firmware for it. I don't know why it does not work after upgraded firmware. I only use Westell 327W. | |

| I'm torn...I like part of the layout. It's nice to see the computers connected to the router on the main page. A few of the other information boxes are nice...but the clicking through "warning: Any changes made in this section may affect your devices performance and configuration." over and over and over again is annoying.
At least one bug fix I see is in the Qos settings. It now allows you to choose Assured Forwarding, etc w/o defaulting back to Best Effort every time.

| WARNING!!!
IF YOUR 327W doesn't have the Verizon decals on it, THIS IS A WARNING NOT to apply the update......I have a 327w with the Westell Decals and decided to try the update on Verizon's website. Now the last update (model numbers matching) I got from Verizon went without any hitch....And the process for this update went without any hiccups...
After the update as I was surfing the net I noticed that I was getting disconnected from the wireless router.....At first I thought that this was because of my crappy transceiver stats (which although low could still hold a connection)....After this happened numerous times, I decided to check the router to see what was going on...This is when I saw that the router was rebooting every 3 minutes or so....After numerous tries to reset (soft and hard-reset)...I have basically decided to give up on the router and just get a new one....So now basically, my 327w is stuck in a reboot loop and I have no physical or software way of resetting the router...Partial (Internet for 3 minutes) BRICK......
Maybe I am the only one with this problem....But just goes to show....As for me, I'm probably just going to try to get my hands on an 6100 and get a real wireless router....Oh well.. | |

If you want to rollback to your old classic 327w interface ( ver 3.xx.xx) you can use below link to download...
»business.verizon.net/help/dsl/?c···aLinkFix
Let me know if you cannot able to download from above link and i will place it on private server.
BTW: I tried new firmware and it did not work/like it ( it never connected to internet ) so i roll back to original and it rocks...

| I called tech support the other night to help setting up my wife's notebook. We had a problem, actually it was on my end - forgot to turn the WiFi switch on for her notebook. Anyways he had me download the new firmware and like others I wasn't able to get either Vista or XP Pro to recognize the file.
I came across this thread last night while trying to trouble shoot my speed (having crappy slow speed) and followed instructions given to update the router.
As of this morning, no problems....and I sort of like the new look. | |
