Hooking up a Westell E90-610015-06 and a Linksys WRT 160N?

Please help me. I have spent hours trying to get my Linsys WRT 160N wireless router to work with my Westell 6100 modem (E90-610015-06). I have tried the suggestions from dslreports, so please do not send me a link to this website. Setting the modem to bridge and setting the wireless router to PPPoE does not work. Also, changing the IP address on the router does not work. Does anyone have any other ideas?

changing the IP Address does work.
You might be doing something differently.
Let me tell you a few things to check
You have to open your NIC properties
make sure its set like this
Then plug your PC into your linksys, or make sure you connect to it wirelessly.
put in 192.168.1.1
http://ui.linksys.com/files/WRT54G/v1-v4/4.20.7/
Change the Local IP Address on the first page to reflect 192.168.0.1.
Then plug your linksys into the westell.
reboot the linksys, then reboot the pc (or you can do a repair, or an ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew in DOS) and as long as the westell is online, everything else will pass internet traffic through
I hook those up all the time the same way and they work just fine.
if it doesn't work again this time let us know, and KEEP IN MIND this is how it should ultimately look
Wall -> westell -> linksys plugged into the yellow ethernet port, and plugged into where it says WAN on the linksys
then your PC wirelessly connects to the linksys.

Verizon DSL, Westell 6100 modem/router, and Airport Extreme

Useful info so you won't have to go through what I did.
Verizon ISP using the Westell 6100 modem/router & Airport Extreme.
The Westell 6100 was configured during installation as a modem and router with a direct connection to the Mac. You can actually connect Airport Extreme at this point with an ethernet connection to the Westell and it will work, but you can't do any of the sharing things (remote login, personal web sharing, etc.) To do those things the Westell needs to be in the Bridge mode. In a nutshell, you have to edit the Westell's VC configuration to establish Bridge mode, and disable its DHCP server. Then you have to set up the Airport to connect using PPPoE using the Account Name and Password from Verizon.
1. With the Westell connected directly to the Mac, access the device at 192.168.1.1.
a. Under VC Configuration the first of seven configurations should already be enabled as VPI 0, VCI 35 using PPPoE. Edit that one and change it to Bridge mode.
b. Under DHCP configuration, disable the DHCP server. You can also do this under the Private LAN Configuration page. If at the latter, do not attempt to disable the Private LAN (it won't let you anyway). Verizon tech support kept insisting I had to disable the Private LAN, which caused a great amount of anguish!
c. Before leaving 192.168.1.1 (you won't be able to access it again once the Airport is connected and configured) make sure you know your ISP account name and password. This was assigned during my setup procedure with Verizon, a random selection of letters and numbers.
2. Now hook up the Airport WAN to the Westell's ethernet port and the Mac to the Airport LAN. Fire up Airport Admin Utility.
a. Under the Internet tab, select Connect Using PPPoE.
b. Configure PPPoE using the Verizon Account Name.
c. Change password to the Verizon account password.
3. Restart and that's it.

Thank you for your post. When I moved to another home, Verizon sent me the Westell 6100 and I had been having trouble staying connected to the Internet with my Airport. Last night, I loss wireless access and the Airport status in the menu bar read "Looking for a PPPoE connection". Verizon customer support was able to get me back online, albeit with only a direct Ethernet connection between my iBook and the 6100.
I found your post and followed your instructions. Now all the iBooks in our household are back online via the Airport. Thank you very much!

E90-610015-06 (firmware link please) + (unable to host games)

Need firmware for this terrible modem. It's got horrible features on it.
I find I am also unable to host a game as well. I have the modem, and a router, and then my computer. I've disabled all of the features that I can think of on the thing, but still cant host a game.
Auto update fails using the device, as well as auto check, as well as the manufacturers website also fails to find it. Verizon website does not have the model listed.
Model Number E90-610015-06 Serial Number 06B40516151x MAC Address 00:0f:db:da:8d:xx Software Version VER:04.00.00.02 Software Model NAT Combo Description WireSpeed Dual Connect Boot Loader VER:04.00.00.02 Configuration 096-900130-01B

Ok.
Is this the while and blue firmware or the red and black firmware?
If you do not know what I mean, look at the following FAQ.

I would not advise that you follow that FAQ unless you have another router.

Since you give no clue as to what make/model/version WiFi router you are using or how you have it configured it's hard to comment.

Can I hook up my G4 to my G5 and run programs off it?

I got the new G5 and I have the Digi001, but the sound card wont fit into the G5 so is there a way I can connect my G4 to my G5 and run Pro Tools and use the Digi001 while it's attached to the G4? Right now I have the two computers connected through the ethernet port and i can access files on the G4 but when I try to open a Pro Tools file it says there is an error.

The main thing is I can't run Pro Tools and the Digi001 interface on my G5 cause it wont take the sound card. I only have one monitor and no space to hook up to computers with two monitors, keyboards etc. so i just want to hook up the computers to each other and run the program and interface from the G4 on the G5. i'm not trying to get a performance boost i just want to use the $800 Digi001 program again.
You can't use the G4 hardware on the G5 at all.
(X-Grid optimized software like VisualHub sends a large "task" to the other computers processors to do and then it comes back to the master machine)
All you can do is remote control the G4 from the G5 using software like Apple Remote Desktop or a similar product like VNC. The other machine will be in a "window" on the first. Use a Ethernet network for this and a Firewire network to transfer files in a public folder if ARD won't let you copy/paste/transfer files. (I think the new version does)
You can share the monitor, kb and mouse between the G5 and G4, one machine at a time using a physical KVM switch. Then share a network connection (Ethernet/firewire) and a public folder to transfer files between the two machines. This can grow tiresome if your switching between the G4 and G5 constantly.
I think remote control would be the best choice and ARD the best software for it's ease of use, security and integration with Mac OS X. If the G4/G5 won't boot without a monitor, kb or mouse then you'll need to add a KVM switch for those times when you need to boot the machines. Else your going to wear out your ports/connectors.

Grayed out whee? Computer? On iPod?
If in iPod that means the music files got corrupted and are lost.

E90 screen scratched and warranty display/keyboard...

there has been some rumours about nokia willing to replace keyboards to the new flat version. Answer is needed since this problem has been around since the birth of E90. Anyone really got their device repaired for free under warranty or else? Is the keyboard only thing that can be replaced or will they replace the display also if it is scratched? What is the quality of the repair and is there more or less squeaks? all answers will be posted at symbian forums to spread the word. If nokia is still ignoring this problem and keeps us users down, that too will be informed to many other sites and communities. All E90 users unite! We will NOT take this bulls*it any longer!

In Finland...not a long way from where the E90 was designed and now the only place where it is being built..this is the situation.
Nokia have a large flashy shop called "Nokia Falgship" in the centre of Helsinki.
They will take your E90 and send it to the local Care Centre and the screeen and key pad will be replaced under warranty.
It takes about 5 working days they say.
Or they will give you the address of the care centre that you can take it to personaly. Then you might be lucky depending on spares stock and queue, but 24 hours is possible.
Only problem..several people have complained (see the various forums) that the new low profile key pad is stiff and uncomfortable and too easy to press wrong key.
Me...
I cannot live with out my E90 for 5 days, but I can live with a scratched screen. Scratches do not stop it working.
I think Nokia rely on having more customers like me who can live with Nokia's current poor Quality.
But I am sure that they are aware that customers are not pleased ..or I hope so..otherwise what is the point of this forum?
I often wonder...
Edit to correct typo.

Westell 6100G in bridge mode with Linksys BFSR41 wired router

I have had a long go-round with V tech support over slow DSL speeds since March 2011. They sent me the Westell 6100G to replace an ancient Westell that had provided satisfactory service for many years, connected through my LInksys BFSR41.
Initially, I connected the Westell directly to a PC and did not see any improvement in speed (always around 1.3M since March). So I re-connected it in bridge mode with the LInksys. Slow speeds continued, plus periodic hiccups, where the connection would simply not exist, although the lights were all good and the LInksys said "connected. Cure was to wait or power down modem and router. The following week a V tech called and said they had made changes to the network and fixed a problem with my line.
Thereafter I did see a vast improvement in speed as tested by Speedtest.net and Speakeasy.com (usually 2.8 M or thereabouts). But I still had the "hiccups". Now you see it, now you don't.
V tech support said, "connect the Westell directly". This indeed solved all intermittance problems. But I need the router and I need it to do the DHCP addressing dynamically as I frequently swap out machines. FYI this is a PPOe connection.
I hope someone on the forum can help me before I spend anther 2 hours in voicemail limbo.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, my heat/humidity solution helped, but has not solved my problem. My connection still disappears at unpredictable, though less frequent intervals. Any and all ideas willl be appreciated.
Thanks

Macbook Pro 10.6.8 constantly drops my wi-fi network and joins Linksys which works but very slow

My Macbook Pro constantly drops my network and joins Linksys. It connects to the Internet but is painfully slow. Choosing my network again works for a while than goes back to Linksys. Any sugestions?

Try going to system preferences/network/advanced, airport tab, in the prefered networks pane highlight and drag your net work to the top of the list. See if it then chooses your network as prefered, hope this helps.

Appreciate your assistance.

The answer depends on whether the AirPort Extreme is your main router....or...the Linksys device is your main router.
In either case, the two devices must connect together using a wired Ethernet connection using CAT5e or CAT6 cabling.
Any version of the AirPort Extreme produced within the last 5 years will have Gigabit Ethernet ports. In order to get the same speeds from the Linksys router, it will also need to be Gigabit Ethernet capable.
If you need additional Ethernet ports, you will need to add a Gigabit Ethernet switch to either the AirPort Extreme or Linksys router.
It is assumed that your other devices connecting to the AirPort Extreme and Linksys router will also have Gigabit Ethernet capability.
Not sure why you mention "ac" speeds in your post. This relates to wireless connections, not wired.
