<title>Key code</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23634840</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have finally joined the laptop world and want to begin using wireless. When I attempt to connect to my router, I am asked for a 'key code'. I do not recall setting one up, but I must have as it is asking for this and a password. So, I am unable to connect wireless securely. Does anyone know how I can reset the keycode? Does this make any sense?   Thanks! ]]></description>

<title>Cannot reach Westell 327W modem from http://192.168.1.1</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23659033</link>
<description><![CDATA[Help! I tried to change my modem configuration from a Routed Bridge to a Bridge setup. Now I cannot even communicate with the Westell 427 modem from http://192.168.1.1. What can I do?

Here's what I did:
In the VC 1 Configuration, I selected Bridge mode.
In the DHCP Server field, I selected Off.
In the Private LAN Configuration, I verified Private LAN DHCP Server Enabled was unchecked.

Egad, what have I done? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!]]></description>

<title>Using 327W as a hub and AP</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23772743</link>
<description><![CDATA[My Mom just got DSL. She's got a 2Wire 2701 DSL modem/router - it has a single LAN port that connects to her Dell desktop.  Since her 2701 is all pre-configured I would like to leave that as her DSL Modem - this makes it easier if she ever has to contact tech support. When I visit I'd like to plug-in a surplus Verizon-branded 327W (D90-327W15-06) to use only as an ethernet hub and wireless access point.

I did a factory reset on the 327W and connected the LAN from the 2701, her Dell desktop, and my laptop via CAT5 to the RJ45 LAN ports on the 327W. I choose ports 2-4 leaving port 1, the veraport empty even though it is configured as a LAN port, not WAN.  Using the 327W as a hub/switch works. The 2Wire 2701 provides DHCP, the wired desktop and wired laptop have internet capability.  I would prefer to use the laptop with wifi.

Wireless from my laptop (and PDA) I get connectivity and can connect to the configuration web pages for the 2Wire (192.168.1.254) and the 327W (192.168.2). I cannot resolve ip names (no DNS) and I cannot route to the public internet.  

I've tried manually configuring the wireless gateway/dns addresses on my laptop to the real ip addresses listed on the 2Wire status page. I tried manually configuring the 327W gateway/dns addresses the same way, also without success.  I don't know what to try next.]]></description>

<title>Westell 327W as a Wireless Gaming Adapter??</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23726200</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello,

This is a long shot but here goes.

I have comcast cable internet. The cable modem is hooked to a D-Link DGL-4300 router. The modem and router is in my computer room.
In my living room (about 15' away from the computer room) I have a Xbox which I would like to connect to my network via wireless. 
I have a Westell 327w modem/router combo in a closet collecting dust from when I use to have Verizon DSL.

What I am wondering is can I somehow configure the 327w to be like a wireless gaming bridge hooked to the Xbox reciving a wireless signal from the D-Link in the computer room?

So it would go something like this
D-link in computer room sending wireless signal.
Westell 327w in living room receiving wireless signal. 
Xbox ethernet port connected to Westell 327w LAN port.

is there any way to make this idea work?

thanks

<title>Westell 327W (from Verizon) - stuck at &#x22;change password&#x22;</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23716998</link>
<description><![CDATA[ :(
I have a 2005 version of this modem/router/wi-fi unit.  It always worked great for me on my Verizon network in VA.  The 2Wire modem we got with AT&T in AL has just died the death.  I wanted to hook up my old Westell and use that, but I can't get into it's config pages to input my AT&T password and username so I can get an internet connection!!  Everything else is working - DSL, ethernet, wireless.  But without the internet connection, all of that is useless.

When I first go to the Westell's web address, a window pops up asking for admin/password (stating that the password supplied at 192.168.1.1:80 was incorrect). I type the defaults of "admin" and "password", and that window goes away and it takes me to the Westell modem home page that shows the DSL/connection status.  

IMMEDIATELY that gets redirected to a "chgpw.htm" page.  That page has three fields: Admin Name, Admin Password, Verify Password (as seen in the pdf manual I have for the modem).  It says it is the "change password" page, but it never asks for new username/password.  So, I've entered in the default username/password.  I've tried leaving them all blank.  I've also tried new usernames/passwords - all to no avail.  No matter what I put in, I just keep getting routed back to that window.  So I can not access any of the internal modem menus b/c I'm stuck at that change password page!!!

Does anyone know how to get past this?  I had read about the "walled garden" on these Verizon modems, and tried that - but it had no effect.  Actually, the link given for disabling that opened up a page that said something like "404 unauthorized" with a link to 192.168.1.254 - which goes nowhere on that modem.

I HAVE logged into this modem before, since leaving the verizon network.  A while back I was trying to use my old 2Wire as the DSL connection modem only, and send the network through the Westell b/c I thought it had better wireless.  I think I tried bridging it, but never got it to work.  I didn't know about these forums at the time or I probably could have figured it out.

Anyway, it seems that there is something internal locking me out of the Westell configuration pages and I can't get past it.  Please help me get past this change password page!!!

I've searced all over these forums and can't find anything like this.
thanks!]]></description>

<title>Westell 327W (Verizon) - &#x22;change password&#x22; no go on Safari</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23722348</link>
<description><![CDATA[ :huh:
I posted my original problem and how I fixed this in detail here:

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r23716998-Re-Westell-327W-from-Verizon-stuck-at-change-password

What I want to know now is what can I do so that I can config my modem from my new OS X machine, without having to disconnect it and reconnect it to my old OS 8 PowerBook?

I got the modem working using the old computer, but after I hooked it back up to the new machine, I can no longer get past that "change password" window - I end up in the loop of evil.   I need to go in and set wireless security so they world can't use my network, but I really don't want to have to go through using another machine any time I want to make a config change.

Any help is appreciated!
thanks]]></description>

<title>Westell 6100 and Netgear router (FAQ not not working)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23715985</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have followed the FAQ instructions to a "T" multiple times and here is where I am at. I have the Westell in bridge mode and have disabled the local DHCP for it as well. I have then connected it to the WAN port on the Netgear, Logged into the Netgear and added the MAC address of the Westell to the "use this MAC address" field on the Netgear. The Netgear then acquires a private IP, but I cannot get internet access. What am I doing wrong?]]></description>
