PS3, Verizon DSL, Westell 6100 Modem, WRT54GSv. 6 - Can't Get NAT Type 2...
Hello everyone--
I just received a PS3 for Christmas. I connected it to my network wirelessly via my WRT54GS router and everything worked fine. After a connection test everything was found successfully, UPnP was available, & the NAT Type was 2. The only issue I noticed would be that I would be logged out of the Playstation Network a few minutes after I would turn on the PS3 or randomly during/after playing a game. However, I would simply just log back in and everything would be fine.
The problem began the next day because suddenly when I ran an internet connection test on my PS3, UPnP came up as being not available and the NAT Type was now 3. Now, I'm not exactly sure what could have possibly happened overnight as nothing was changed and the settings all remained the same.
My setup is as follows: I have my desktop computer wired to the router and my laptop, nintendo wii, & ps3 all connected wirelessly. My modem is in bridge mode and the internet connection type is "Automatic Configuration - DHCP" as my area does not support PPPoE.
Basically I am posting to see if anyone has any suggestions on what I need to do to get my UPnP back to available & NAT Type back to 2. If there is any other information I need to post that would be helpful in finding a resolution to my problem, then please let me know.
I look forward to hearing a response from someone. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Access setup page .... look for MTU size ... change it to 1365 ...click save settings ....
Click security tab ..... uncheck Block WAN request ....click save settings ....
If possible upgrade also the firmware of the router .....

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!

Verizon DSL, Westell 6100 Modem and Linksys router
If anyone is having a hard time getting these three to work together to get on-line, I know your pain. I've spent the better part of two days trying to get these devices to talk to each other. After hours spent trying different combinations and little to no help from Verizon and Linksys I have finally gotten my DSL up and running through my Linksys router. I post this in hopes that someone doesn't spin their wheels like I have been doing over the past few days. Here's what I did to get them to work:
1. Reset both the Linksys router and the Westell modem
2. Unplug the router and the modem
3. Connect an ethernet cable from your Apple to the Westell modem and power it back on
4. Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your browser of choice. The username should be "admin" (w/o the quotes) and password should be "password" (again no quotes)
5. It will ask you to update your username and password
6. Under the CONFIGURATION heading select VC CONFIGURATION and click on EDIT
7. Make sure that both PROTOCOL and MODE are set to BRIDGE
8. Click on SET VC and then click OK when asked if you want to reset for new configuration to take affect
9. Once again power off the modem for about a minute then power it back up
10. Login again with the login you created above and go to the STATUS/ABOUT column and write down the MAC address
11. Set it to DHCP OFF and change the Private Lan Modem IP to 192.168.2.1. Write this down and keep it so you can access your modem in the future.
12. Save the settings. You will lose communication with the Westell at this point. Once again, power down the modem for about a minute.
13. Connect the ethernet cable from the modem into the Internet port on the Linksys router and then connect your Apple to the first ethernet spot
14. Turn on both the Linksys router and the Westell modem
15. With your browser (Safari or Firefox) type in 192.168.1.1. Under SETUP go to MAC ADDRESS CLONE and enter the MAC address you wrote down for your Westell modem earlier and then save the settings
16. Make sure you are in DHCP mode and not PPPoE
17. Save, exit, and you should be on-line
That was a lot more difficult than it had to be. I certainly didn't get this from the support folks from Linksys or Verizon...a lot of trial and error and investigating on-line. I hope this saves you from the headaches I experienced.
Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) Verizon DSLFeedback for Linksys:
In the Linksys Help system "Easy Answers" there's the question "How can I set up a Linksys router with DSL Internet?" This is what I used to try and solve my Internet connection problem.
The Answer says "Most DSL providers use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) ..." and goes on to explain how to set up the router for PPPoE. However, my service (AT&T/Yahoo high speed internet) uses DHCP. That meant I spent several frustrating hours trying to get it to work with PPPoE.
The Answer would have been better if it first explained how to tell if you have PPPoE or DHCP (see the reply from vness above, it's an excellent explanation), and then linked to the appropriate setup instructions.
Thanks for the help!!!! -
How to get nat type 1 with airport extreme and ps3?
I use airport extreme as my default router. I have my ps3 connected to a separate airport in a different room. I can only get nat type 2 and want to get nat type 1 as I can barely connect to any hosts online.
NAT type 1 is when you connect your PS3 directly to your modem with no router in between. The problem with this is that there will be no way to share your internet connections with other devices. NAT type 2 is where you have a router in between your modem and your PS3, and NAT type 3 is where you have some or all needed ports blocked which is where you would have issues.
NAT type 2 is a correct way for your PS3 to work, and your wireless connection strength may be the reason for connection issues. -
Verizon Turbo Dsl plan with Westell 6100 modem? Help?
So I have a westell 6100 modem and on the 7th I upgraded my bundle i had 1 Mbps for Internet , verizon homephone freedom essentials, and Directv. Since fios is not available were I live. And my new bundle is Verizon Dsl 7.0-1 Mbps turbo plan, verizon essentials and directv for $115.00. My question is will my modem provison the speed correct? will it still work? Or do I have to buy a new modem? Thanks!.
Solved!
Go to Solution.If you have been using the 6100 previously then the modem should sync to the new speed automatically. If yareou still using an old style flat phone cable from the jack to the modem it may not be capable of the faster speed. The round tan colored cable which originally was supplied with the modem would be the one to use. I moved up recently from 3 to the turbo 7.1 via ASDL2plus and found that Verizon at my location has capped the speed at about 5.5. Their out is to say speeds up to 7.1.

Linksys router no longer works with Westell 6100 modem
Hi all,
I came back after a 3 month work absence (and many days power outages, according to the neighbors), to find that my system can no longer connect to the internet using the Verizon Westell 6100 modem to a Linksys wrt54G router to 2 PCs!
I reset the Westell modem and directly connected the PC to it and THAT works okay, but put the router back in the mix (so I can connect my other PC) and nothing works!
I have read on this forum about 'Bridgeing" the Westell modem but nothing about setting up the router.
Can someone PLEASE give me explicit instructions on how to:
1.) set up the Westell modem in this "Bridge" mode,
2.) Set up the Linksys router to work with the modem again??
3.) Tell me why the old setup no longer works, did verizon change something for this modem?
Thank you VERY much for your help in this matter!
SUE ;>)the router has two connections. one is called a WAN and that is a wide area network, and it means the internet in your case. and one is called a LAN, local area network.
what you saw means - that the way you connect to your internet is through PPPoE, a username and a password.
and then way your LAN connects is DHCP, how all of your local computers connect. This is important, because after you bridge the westell, you will be setting your Linksys up for PPPoE connection, and NOT DHCP. if you don't do this step, then you will never connect.
that is fine, and normal. if you follow the instructions at the link provided - you will be able to connect real easily.
you will want to bridge the westell just follow the instructions for "If your Westell uses the red and black Verizon firmware:" -
Replacing Westell 6100 modem with Netgear Genie
Good day. I'm replacing Westell 6100 modem with a Netgear Genie. I need the following data to complete hookup. Thanks.
Netgear Broadband ADSL2+ Modem (DMP111SP)
IP Address
Subset Mask
Default gateway
Preferred DNS Server
Alternative DNS ServerSince you're plugged into the Westell, use http://192.168.1.1/ to log into the modem. From there, see if your modem shows something along the lines of "Routed Bridge" mode or if it shows "PPPoE" as the connection type. If PPPoE, follow the post I mentioned above. The same goes with Routed Bridge mode. Worst case scenario, call Verizon and have them ensure your Westell is configured correctly if you cannot get online with the Westell, and from there we'll see how the Netgear needs to be configured.
Also, what may have happened here is your Netgear's IP address could have changed. You will want to open up a Command Prompt Window (Start > search for the program "cmd.exe" or go to Start > Run > enter in cmd.exe) and run the command ipconfig. Default Gateway should give the IP of the router you're attached to in a home network.

I am having problems setting up airport extreme.
What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+ modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem... -
Verizon DSL, Westell & Airport Extreme Base Station
Last year I posted a desire to hook up my AEBS and AEX to a Westell wireless network. After much discussion and many suggestions I created a network that worked but was occasionally flaky.
Since that time our family has replaced two old G3 laptops with two new Mac laptops that have poor wifi range, esp. when connecting with the Westell. I'm considering a new setup with the Westell 327W DSL wifi modem/router as a DSL modem only and letting my AEBS and AEX handle all the wifi duties in a WDS network.
I have found instructions on the net for setting up the Westell as "modem only" but with other third party wifi routers (not Apple's). Every instruction seems specific to a particular router and the more I search the more I find "oopsies" where someone left out part of the instructions. The AEBS will also need to be connected to an 8 port switch to handle 2 printers and an older Windows PC.
Has anyone actually set up a Westell 327 as modem only with an Airport Base station? If yes, please post details.
Thanks,
TWConnect the AEBS (or AirPort Express) to the modem via Ethernet (through the switch or not). If you want the wireless clients on the same subnet as the other devices, configure the AEBS (or AirPort Express) to not distribute IP addresses.
Then use the information in KB 107454, AirPort Extreme and Express: Using WDS to create a network from multiple base stations to connect the other remaining AirPort device wirelessly. -

Drivers for the Westell 6100 modem for my DSL?
Does anyone know where I can get the proper driver for my 6100 Westell modem? I have a yellow question mark in my device manager and i keep getting a no driver found for ethernet connection message.
If you are using ethernet, no drivers for the modem are needed.

Good evening,
I was checking my dsl info in the the Westell modem when I decided to venture further. I hope someone can assist me to understand the following:
The main page indicates my computer access is shared. It is not; as far as I know.
1. Shared: Ethernet - 1 Device
2. (This concerns me) Firewall - No Security (I actually changed this to Typical Security)
3. Security Log - Packets allowed in/outbound
4. DMZ Host - disable
5. Firewall log - Log Allowed - Inbound packets }
Log Blocked Traffic - All Packets } I changed some of the settings.
Specified in Rules - Enabled }
Adm. Access - Disabled }
Although I am paying for up to 7.1M, I have never received anything over 6.5-6.7M/36-37k.
These are the stats from the modem:
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 7616 864 Margin (dB) 14.5 11.0 Line Attenuation (dB) 34.0 24.0 Transmit Power (dBm) 19.6 11.9* 1. Shared: Ethernet - 1 Device *
What is your OS and Version? For example Windows XP..
* 2. (This concerns me) Firewall - No Security (I actually changed this to Typical Security)*
Good job
* 3. Security Log - Packets allowed in/outbound *
Keeps a log of all traffic inbound and outbound.
* 4. DMZ Host - disable *
To be avoided as much as possible. Is equal to being directly connected to the net.
* 5. Firewall log - Adm. Access - Disabled *
To me that sounds like remote control of the router is disabled. Which is good thing to leave disabled unless you need remote access...

Router Won't Connect to modem so i can't get internet
All right -_- i have tried lots of stuff with this so i am getting irritated sorry. Here is my info I have a Linksys Wireless Router with SpeedBoost Firmware Version 7.2 (latest) WRT54GS. I am trying to use it with a Sprint 645 Series Modem. My IP while connected to the router and the router connected to the Modem is 192.168.1.100 which my ISP said was ok for it to work. While it is just connected to my modem it is that same thing except replace the 100 with 1. My ISP uses a security measure where The DHCP Thing is 192.168.1.1 and so is the DNS server, and the Default Gateway and im not sure if that has anything to do with it. I have used ping in the Command Prompt to make sure i am connected to the router when its plugged up and it is. This is a new router. I have perfectly fine internet with just Modem. I have tried resetting the Router and that didn't work -_-. I dont think it matters anymore because i have tried fixing it the way lots of people have told me to and it didnt work but i will tell u anyway. When i set up the router the first time i hooked everything up and turned it all on at first. Then i saw that it said Run CD first before connecting cables... those weren't in the instructions but wtv... anyway resetting it should have fixed it or so i was told by other people on this forum. I am using a Laptop with Windows Vista, and i don't have access to a desktop in case i need one XD. I can connect to the Router fine because i can get to the setup page.. and i can connect wirelessly.. The ONLY problem appears to be that the Router doesn't connect to the Modem... for wtv reason -_- I think its because of the whole security measure about how the DHCP and DSN and Gateway are all 192.168.1.1, but that is just me. I am sorry this is so long but I really want this fixed -_- i have had this Router for a month and its getting really annoying so please help . My ISP is Embarq. I ran the setup CD and I got all the way through to the last step (waiting for router) after connecting the power supply to the wall for the router. It just sits there forever and says afterwards "Error:322 Can't find router or something like that. It gives 3 steps to try to fix it. It says to make sure the Router is plugged in (it is) , it also says to make sure u didn't actually plug in your old router, (i dont have one -_-) and then retry the setup. and by setup i mean where u plug all the cords in the right way. *sigh*
If u need anything else please ask.

Solved!
Go to Solution.Your second post said 'ignore this" so I guess everyone thought you had got it fixed....
When you connect through your router you have two instances of DHCP going on...one is your DSL modem giving your router an IP address on it's WAN interface. The other is the router giving your computer an IP address via the router's DHCP server. The IP the modem gives your router is in the 192.168.1.0 network. Unfortunately, by default, the LAN IP address reange on Linksys routers is also in that range. To get this to work, you need to set your LAN ip on the router to 192.168.2.1, so that the LAN and WAN interfaces of the router are in different networks.
To do that, unplug the router from the DSL modem, power it and your computer down, then connect the computer to the router using an ethernet cable. Power up the router, and the computer, then browse to 192.168.1.1. Change the LAN IP on the router setup to 192.168.2.1, save the configuration, then reboot the computer. Once the computer comes back up, browse to 192.168.2.1...you should be able to get to the router setup GUI.
Power down the router, and the DSL modem, connect the router to the modem via the Internet port using an ethernet cable, then power up the modem, then the router....you should be good to go...
