Hi PretzelDude,
I had the same issue with a customer of my company.
It wasn't my responsibility, but since I've worked with routers, Westells, and DSL, I decided to fix the problem.
The customers Netgear FVS318 did the same thing. Would work fine doing the PPPoE for a random period of time, then the Netgear would lock up.
To remedy the problem, the Westell had to be set to 'Bridged Ethernet'.
Here's a FAQ on the procedure.
»AT&T Southeast Forum FAQ »What is the proper way to configure a Westell modem with a generic router?
Hope this helps, it should.
