Westell 6100G Data light constant activity

I recived a new modem to replace my old 6100,my old one had 5 lights This new one (6100g) has 3 lights a internet ,data, and dsl light.Now I'm aware that when a light is flashing it means data is flowing through and or it's connecting.So why is it that the data light blinks non stop when the dsl and internet lights remain solid.I even detatched the ethernet cord and the data light was still blinking non stop is this normal? I can't imagine why it would be this active even when not in use.I can conncet to th internet but it seems alot slower than with my old modem.Also Im using a new pc with vista so im not sure if that has anyting to do with it.
Any thoughts?

#1 Be online.
#2 Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server(s) on your computer.
Since you are on Vista, see as need be

I have a Westell 6100G modem. I want to set up Airport Express for wireless. Can someone tell me how to do it step by step. I'm using an HP with Windows Vista. I'm a tech idiot.

Just got Airport Express to save on GBs of data. I have already a Westell 6100G which is for use as Internet Broadband, via Verizon. How do I set up the Airport Express with this Westell. Do I even still need the Westell, or do I need to also buy a wireless router? I'm a tech idiot and this is driving me nuts.

The Westell 6100G is a combination modem and router or gateway device. The AirPort Express is a wireless router.
Since the Express does not have a built-in modem, you will still need your Westell gateway in order to access the Internet.
Which exact model of AirPort Express do you have. It will be written (in very hard to read type on a label on one of the AirPort's sides). It should look something like: A1392. It may also state a Order#. In that case it would look something like: MC414LL/A
Regardless of which model you have, the basic network configuration would be that you would connect an Ethernet cable between the Westell's Ethernet port and the WAN (circle of dots) port on the Express. (Note: If you have an earlier model of the Express, you would connect the cable to the only Ethernet port on the Express.)
The good news is that you will not have to make any configuration changes to the Westell. We should be able to use it as configured.
What we are going to start with is getting a basic Wi-Fi network that should provide your computer with wireless access to the Internet. Once verified as working, we can fine-tune this network to include wireless security and any other goals that you may have.
Ready to start?
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the Westell and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort Express base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
Once the reset has completed, remove the AirPort Express from power.
Connect an Ethernet cable between the Westell and the AirPort Express.
Power-up the Westell; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Wireless network has CONSTANT activity???

T61 dual boot, XP Pro (working fine) and Windows 7 Pro (working fine all but annoying wireless issue). All seems to be well...except for the small green wireless activity light CONSTANTLY flashing in my face. I can't see to figure out what the constant activity is all about. No updates downloading...drivers are all up-to-date.
Anyone have a suggestion?

External Hard-Drive Constant Activity!

I have a WD 500gig external drive hooked up to my Macbook. Recently I have been having issues where the drive has constant activity (i.e. something is accessing it constantly and putting a load on it).
I have music, videos, photos etc.. so for example if I were to play a song in iTunes (my music is on the drive) iTunes slows right down because the drive is really slow.
I have tried closing all apps and seeing what happens, still light keeps flashing and something is accessing it. Then I opened Activity Monitor.. I did not see any abnormalities on what would be accessing the drive from there.
Then I thought there were errors on the drive.. so for the sake of I fired up DiskWarrior ran checks, fixes etc etc. Still after that something is still loading it right down!.
Any thoughts? The type of load on it is like it is being backed up.. or something is constantly sending info to it or receiving info from it.
There is no apps on the drive, just general data.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

If you don't want to index the drive then open Spotlight preferences, click on the Privacy tab, then drag the disk icon into the list. Spotlight will stop indexing the drive. However, you will not be able to do Spotlight searches on the drive unless the drive is indexed. If you're OK with that then no problem. Otherwise, you will have to wait for indexing to complete. Note that if you continue using the drive Spotlight will pause until the drive becomes available, but this will slow down the time it takes to complete indexing the drive.
If the drive is a USB drive then expect indexing to take much longer than for a Firewire drive. If you let the computer index the drive without you using the computer then indexing will go faster. Otherwise it will just take its own sweet time during which your computer and use of that drive will slow down.

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!

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

No data in the activity monitor

All of a sudden I don't have any data in the activity monitor. Here's what happened. I was using safari viewing online pictures. I kept getting the rolling ball between pictures and noticed that safari was using 100%+ in processor usage and safari seemed slow. So I rebooted and opened the activity monitor and no data shows up. I run a quick hardware test and all pass. I havn't gone back to the pictures yet but normal browsing seems to be fine. I watch a few 1080P trailers and they work fine too.
All ideas on why the monitor doesn't show data?
Ray

Hmm...let's try this:
Go to User/Library/Preferences and drag the com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist file to your Desktop. Then try launching Activity Monitor again to see if that makes anything show up. If so, then it was a corrupted preferences file, and you can then trash the one on your Desktop.
If that doesn't solve the problem, the only thing I can suggest is to Trash the application and the preferences file, then reinstall it from your 10.4 DVDs.

No data in Daily Activity Report

Hi expert,
There was no data in Daily Activity Report. But I changed the interval to 'Hourly', it displayed normally.
Why?
the version is 7.0 SP17
Regards,
Sidney

Hi Raghu,
That is what I do, but also no data.
Does it need to set 'Save interval (minutes)' to 1440 in 'com.sap.portal.activityreport.core'?

How to read data in CRM Activity relationship tab.

Hello friends,
I have a requirement to read data from CRM Activity relationship tab.
Mainly i have to read Transaction No/object refernced trans field of CRM Activity relationship tab.
Could anybody help me?
Thanks,
Bunny

Hi,
have you found in the meanwhile a good solution?
I have also a similar requirement.
At the moment I'm using the view CRMV_ACTFORGP to get the activities associated to a BP (by the way you have many filters that can be used) and then for each GUID (order guid - CRMD_ORDERADM_H-GUID) I call the fm BAPI_REL_GETRELATIONS to get the list of relationships.

Data source was activated and replicated but not showing up in RSA7.

Hello,
Data source was activated and replicated but not showing up in RSA7. At what point does the data source appear in the Delta Queue?
Thanks

Hi,
for LO,LIS,generic,FI data sources, delta records come from delta queue.
if u run the INIT in BW whether it may be success or not delta queue will be maintained in RSA7. and u can check the records in RSA7 or smq2.
when the init request goes to R/3 then it will maintains delta queue in RSA7.
assign points if it helps,
thanks,

WRT54G & Verizon DSL with Westell 6100g

Ok here is my problem. I use utorrent for all my downloads. Recently the old wirespeed modem gave up the ghost and Verizon sent me one of their new Westell 6100g. I port forwarded the verizon modem, then briged it to my router. But for some reason utorrent isn't recognizing the port being open. I know my port is forwarded correctly via the modem because when I connect directly through the modem everything works fine. But when I throw the router in the equation that's when it gets squirrely. I removed the port forward exception from my router page because Verizon doesn't offer static IP's to non business customers anymore. And it had no effect enabled or disabled. Just curious if anyone can help me understand why I can't open the port when everything is connected.

As you mentioned in the previous forum that...whenever you connect directly to the modem,everything works fine. It means modem is still not in the bridge mode...So first of all you need to convert the modem into the bridge mode..Then do the PPPoE settings on the router...For instruction click here .
Now, Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Triggering" subtab... On the first line in Application box type in ABC, Under Triggered Range in the start port type in 6881 and End box type in 6999, Under Forwarded Range in the start port type in 6881 and End box type in 6999 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...

Add-on data plan not activating

I recently added 3 GBs of data for $20 to my prepaid monthly account for my iPhone 4. I received a confirmation text from Verizon saying that the data has been activated but it has not yet. My account balances are up to date so it is now a money issue. Why hasn't it been activated yet?

cneck We're sorry to hear you're having issues with your prepaid service. When did you receive the confirmation text? What happened when you reached to our prepaid team?

Connecting Westell 6100G to Netgear n300 Wireless Router

I've just purchased a netgear n300 wireless router. My question is would I defintely need to set the Westell 6100G modem to bridge mode? After I do that I simply connect the wireless router to the modem and then the router to the computer via one of the ports? After that is done would I need to do anything else? Would I be asked for my verizon login and password in order to get connected?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's recommended to bridge your modem as the modem itself does have an integrated router, even though it only has one Network port to connect up with. You have to split it up using a switch if you wish to really use it as a wired router. The reason why you bridge is so that your router holds your Public IP address rather than the modem. This avoids a condition known as "Double NAT" which game consoles dislike, VPNs tend to be iffy with, and Port Forwarding becomes a pain to do as you have to do it twice.
Yes, Bridge the modem. As far as the Netgear is concerned, if your modem reports that it is using PPPoE, the Username and Password you will need to use will be the master login you use for your DSL account. In the Netgear, it will auto detect that you use PPPoE in most circumstances however, it won't automatically pull your username and password. In some cases it may just connect right up if Verizon still does OpenPPPoE. Otherwise, if you're using a Setup program that came with the router it should ask you for your username or password to connect up. If not, Netgear has changed their firmware around in recent years, but in most cases it is under the Basic Setup or "Internet" section of your router for adding in a PPPoE username and password. The best place to look for this would be the user guide for your router. It should detail how to set up your connection based on what you're using.

Req date for an activity based on planned delivery time of component

Hi Experts
I wish to create activities for purchase and install an equipment.
The procurement activity is assigned with the component.
the planned delivery time is specifed (ex: 100 days)
Based on this value, can i get calculated the requirement date for the activity (Ex: today+100days) in stead of manual specification of date for the corresponding activity?
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi Ahmed
Thanks for your response. This seems to be good feature.
However, i could not get the date corrected for my activity after applying this function.
I have created an activity with normal duration 1day. For the same activity, i have assigned a compnent which has 100days planned del time.
Then i have used 'Transfer Del time --> duration'. But no change.
Could you suggest me right approach?
warm regards

Losing service+cellular data cannot be activated

I've been having some issues with my iPhone 3GS recently. After contacting my provider, Bell, and getting a new SIM card, my issue was only temporarily resolved.
My phone continues to say no service, or if I do have service, it says cellular data cannot be activated and I cannot receive text messages or use the 3G network.
I've tried everything but restoring my iPhone, any tips would be great.

Cellular data issue is a carrier feature, so give your cell provider a call.
