Hey, my problem is that my modem (Westell 6100 Dsl) won't connect with my router (Linksys Wireless G WRK54G) or that's the best solution i can come up with. i connect the modem to the router using an ethernet cable (i'm using the internet labeled ports on both) then i use one of the other 3 slots on the router to connect to my computer using another ethernet cable...so after that i try to connect to the internet and i have no connection i've tried using the set-up disk that came with the router but it has to test the internet connection and i have none, but when i plug my modem directly to the computer the internet works fine.If it helps my ISP is verizon. any suggestion? thanks

> As ur isp is verizon so they must have provided wu wuth a username and password ...

Don't forget to "bridge" your modem before selecting PPPoE on your modem/router. Call your ISP to bridge your modem.
On the setup page of the router, change the "internet connection type". Change it from "Automatic Configuration-DHCP" to "PPPoE" and then enter your username and password you used when signing up for verizon. GOOD TO GO !!!
Linkseys Wireless G broadband router need to hook up to Verizon router/modem
According to your current problem , it seems that your router has to be configured properly, as you say that you are able to go online with your modem..the possible option is you need to change cthe ipaddress of your router, try, http://kb.linksys.com,
or call linksys 1800 5465797 and the tech at the other end would assist you in a step by step procedure..
SOURCE: connecting a laptop.
on connecting your laptop wirelessly, it is best if you set the router to have wireless security first.
accessing the router's setup page:
open IE, then type http://192.168.1.1 on your address bar, it will ask you for a username and password, thats both admin (these steps will depend if you have changed the settings on the router)
once opened, go to the wireless tab, change your Wireless Network Name (SSID) to something esle instead of Linskys, like your name perhaps. then set the channel to 11ghz and hit save settings.
now look for a Wireless Security SUBTAB, enable to wireless security, under security mode select WPA-Personal (PSK) set your algorithm to TKIP and make up a password on the blank space that says Passphrase / Pre Shared Key , that will be you wireless security code. now hit save settings.
in connecting your wireless laptop, make sure the wireless adapter on the device is enabled and it will automatically locate the wireless network and wil ask you for the security code, once you place it, you will get connection.

Same problem here.
Timid thank alot! i followed the instructions from that link and got my router working
i have a westell 6100 modem that is a router. do i need a wireless router
Same identical problem. With my set up. I tried a new Lynksys router and had the same problem.
While trying to intergrate my Linksys wireless router into my network, I am unable to get my router to communicate with my Westell 6100 modem. I can reach the internet just fine when my PC is connected via ethernet directly to the Westell 6100 modem. I have also already run the set-up disk for the router and am able to log into the router and even connect to it wirelessly, however once I place it inbetween my computer and my modem (via ethernet) I am unable to communicate with the internet (or the modem). I have changed the configuration of the router to reflevt the use of PPOE and entered the network username and password for my verizon account with no luck.
I had a similar problem with Westell 6100 modem/Netgear WR614 router running through BellSouth DSL. The router was not getting an IP address. I had to login to the modem and change it from PPPoE to bridge. I understand the 6100 acts as a router otherwise.
cant hook to cable modem
why cant I get 2 devices working at the same time on the westell 6100. one is on the usb and the other on an ethernet. I have to unplug one to use to other device, getting crazy.
