Hi starman re westell 6100.
Hi i hope you have find solution with your issue ifnot let me walk you through on how to get it up and working.
First , you need to connect your modem directly to your computer. We need to access its Graphic Unit Interface by opening your browser and type onyour address bar its default gateway.
The def. gateway can be 192.168.1.1 or depending what ISP youre connected to . For ATT broadband its 192.168.1.254 / verizon broadband is 192.168.1.1.. { onyour address bar : type in 192.168.1.1 and hit Enter.
to check def gateway : you can go to start > run > cmd then enter > on DOS command type in ipconfig /all then HIT enter > itl provide you your network list > your default gateway is your westell modem or if your linksys is connected than it should be you linksys.
Itl route you to your westell page. Try to go to Broadband and choose connection or configure connection.button. Look for configure and by default you will see its in PPPoE> change it to bridged ethernet and save.
By enabling bridge to your modem w/c is westell youl have a chance to configure you linksys to PPPoE.
Connect you westell to your linksys and on your computer try to check your default gateway as seen above. By default linksys can be access by typing in 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.1.1. Itl prompt you for UN and PW: by default your Username is : Blank and Password should be admin. { blank = dont type anything}
On your linksys SETUP page > by default it is set to DHCP or obtain IP address automatically. Pls change it to PPPoE and type in your UN and PW : [email protected] { your ISP name}. and hit save settings or save.
Restart your linksys and try to browse to check fore connection.
========================
For all types of modem such as westell : you need to set it to bridge mode first foryou wireless router to work ie linksys. Set linksys to PPPoE .. that should work .
