Westell 9100EM and Linksys SPA942 phone

I just switched to FiOS and my internet connection is fine, with the glaring exception of my VOIP phone. The hardware is as described in the subject line. This is a pretty serious problem for me and if it cannot be resolved, will be a show stopper. Using my own router is not an option since that evidently breaks the television's on-screen guide.
I've placed the phone in the DMZ and it had no apparent effect.

Who is your VoIP provider
If you log into the Westell at http://192.168.1.1/ (Use the username of admin, password being your router's serial number found on a sticker beneath the router), locate the Firewall Logs under the Firewall Settings and see if it shows any mention of blocked data whenever your VoIP phone attempts to connect.

  • Overhead Paging with a Hosted VOIP system using Linksys SPA942 phones

    Anybody have any experiance with providing Overhead Paging with a Hosted VOIP system using Linksys SPA942 phones?  I currently use a hosted service called Vocalocity and need to  now provide overhead paging to one of our sites.

    I don’t think this is possible since usually this paging opting is used with accordance with the registration from the SPA9000. I am not quite certain if this will be able to work with certain VoIP providers but if it does they should have paging capability and the paging code might also change. I suggest contacting your VoIP provider and Cisco Tech support to further look into your concern. I believe this unit belongs to the business series devices that Cisco is now supporting. Try to go to this link for the other business series devices and the site where you can get hold of Cisco for support:

  • Westell 9100EM and Linsys WRT54G together

    In my house, the Westell 9100EM router is in the Far Northeast corner of the home where my (rather old) home computer is located...  Our bedrooms are located on the exact opposite corner of the home, in the SW area.  Wireless service is quite poor in that area.
    I have an existing Linksys WRT-54G router that worked very well when I had SBC DSL at an older house in another area.  What I'm thinking is to put the WRT-54G in the middle of the house or in the back bedroom to provide wireless to that corner.
    I see a lot of information on the boards and so forth about the Actiontec router and doing this but very little on the 9100EM router.  Can anyone point me in a direction that gives more thorough directions for this?  Has someone made this work?
    Thanks in Advance for the help!

    Only if you have an ethernet port where you want to put it.  If you do connect to it locally hard wired and change the subnet to 192.168.2 and set the wanport to a fixed address on the 192.168.1 subnet e.g. 192.168.1.254  Then connect the wan port of the linksys to a lan port of the 9100em via the in house wiring.  the linksys by default cannot connect by wirelss to the 9100em.
    If you have no inhouse wiring and are somewhat technically savvy and your wrt54g is a newer rev you can hack the firmware to change it to a wireless forwarder - see tomato.  Google it on the net.  Be warned that if you mess it up you have a very light boat anchor.

  • Successful DSL Setup With Westell 6100G and Linksys WRT54G Router

    After a week of searching I finally figured out how to get DSL setup with my Linksys router.
    All I could get out of the Westell > Linksys router configuration was DSL downloads limited to less than 0.2 Mbps.   No matter what I did on the router settings that was it.    I had a second eHome router that easily configured and achieved the 1.0 Mbps download speeds so that confirmed Verizon and the Westell modem were not the issue.
    So what's wrong with the Linksys router configuration?    I had the Linksys WRT54G router Version 5.   Checking the firmware it was the original release of 1.0.0.   (See your routers instructions which can be downloaded from Linksys for how to check your firmware).   I downloaded the latest firmware version for this router model and version number.    Following the Linksys instructions I flashed the latest firmware 1.02.8.   Now I had an updated modem ready to be configured for DSL.   
    Assuming you already followed Verizons instructions to set the Westell modem to bridge mode setup your router to work with it. 
    Step 1: Go into the modem typing its address... Default 192.168.1.1   leave the ID blank and the default password is admin.
    Step 2: Go to the Basic > Setup screen.  
    Step 3:  Select PPPoE and the screen menus will change
    Step 4:  Enter your Verizon ID  (exclude @Verizon.net)
    Step 5:  Enter your Verizon Password.
    Step 6:  Go to the bottom of the screen and hit Save.   Wait and the router will indicate it was saved.
    That's it.  All you need are the three entries above to get it working.   Turn off the PC, Router and Westell.   Turn on the Westell, then the router and then boot the PC.   It should work at this point.    I now get the full DSL speed for both downloads and uploads.    
    The bottom line....check you router, especially the older models for updated firmware before you give up on it. 

    Glad top see you found a configuration for your Westell and Linksys to function.  Thanks for posting resolution.

  • Westell 327W and Linksys WRE54G

    I read the excellent tutorial at http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed​/Networking/SetUp/QuestionsOne/123766.htm which answers all questions except one:
    After I have set the Protocol to Bridge and the Bridge Mode to Routed Bridge, I'm presented with a DHCP Client section with static address preselected. However, the address given is 0.0.0.0, subnet 255.255.255.255 and gateway 0.0.0.0. Is it safe to leave it like that?
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You should actually leave your 327w out of bridge mode, since your Linksys WRE54G is not a router. It's only purpose is to take a Wireless Signal and repeat it further out, or to run as an access point. If you bridge your 327w, the first device that requests DHCP information from the Westell or uses PPPoE to connect will be the only PC able to access the Internet, typically. If Verizon is using DHCP in your area, the Westell I don't believe is fully bridged. It still works as a router but holds the public IP.

  • Westell 9100EM and configuring DynDNS

    Hello,
    I am trying to set up a IP camera and have registerd for a DNYDNS host name.

    Logon to the router and select advanced then select Personal domain name
    Enter your dyndns name and credentials for it and save
    Not sure what you mean by this
    Also, I have a another Router acting as my access point, do I need to enter into both to view via a internet (NON LAN) link?
    Are you saying you want to access the camera from outside your local network? I.E from the internet?
    If so you would have to set up the correct port forwarding rules thru both routres to whatever the listening application is.

  • Westell 9100EM - Port Forwarding

    So, I'm a newbie when it comes to port forwading, and I have tried all the tricks I can find on the internet.
    I need to open some ports on my Westell 9100EM and I can't seem to find out how to get a step by step guide. I don't want to mess anything up, so I want to be save about not just trying things out.
    This is what I need:
    - Allow port 6112 TCP out and allow established sessions in
    - Allow port 6112 TCP in 
    - Allow port 6113-6119 TCP out and in
    It seems somewhat straightforward, but perhaps i'm missing something. If anyone can get back to me with some step by step ideas, you'd be my hero forever!
    Thanks again for helping another noob.

    yes, I have the cable plugged into the wan port not the PC port on the phone.
    I am using the external power not the poe.

  • 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.

    Feedback 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!!!!

  • Wifi bridging with westell 9100em

    so i just moved in with new roomates, they have fios for tv, internet, and phone. They have a westell 9100em wifi router that was installed with the service. i would like to setup my own subnet so that i can have my own security settings being that they aren't that concerned with their security and therefor pretty much have none, and also would like to have my own file sharing network. That being the case i need to try figure out how to set this up, with some of the communities help of course.
    so here's what i have, the westell 9100em wifi router using moca.
    a tp-link TL-WA901ND ap/bridge,
    and a linksys WRT160N V2 wifi router.
    What I would like to do is setup a wireless bridge between the tp-link and the westell, then connect the linksys to the tp-link so that i can have a wired connection from my desktop pcs (2) and xbox360, and a secure wifi connection for my laptop, netbook, and smartphone. 
    any help on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated, i have tried to set up the bridge but the menus for the westell are not very user friendly, and i cannot seem to get it to work. after that i think i should be able to just set the linksys up as just a switch and be good? haven't made it that far yet though.

    To have a separate (private) network, you want the connection from the TP-Link to go to the WAN port of the Linksys. 
    The Linksys WAN side can either get a DHCP address from the Westell or can have a static IP address on the Westell's subnet (192.168.1.x). 
    The LAN side of the Linksys must have a different subnet (e.g. 192.168.2.x).  It can not use the 192.168.1.x subnet.
    There is nothing in the Westell that you need to change unless you need to forward ports, then you will need to do so in both routers.

  • Linksys SPA942 on Cisco Catalyst C3524-XL-PWR

    I'm almost pulling out my hair trying to connect a Linksys SPA942 IP phone to use the inline power of a Cisco catalyst C3524-XL-PWR. The switch has been set up as per the procedures for Cisco IP phones. However when I plug in the Linksys phone it does not come on. The linksys SPA942 is a IEEE 802.3af poe device and I expected that plugging it into the Cisco catalyst c3524-xl-pwr should do the trick. Does anyone know if the phone is compatible with the switch? I yes how do I get the bleeding phone to power off the switch?
    TIA

    The 1999 era Catalyst C3524-XL-PWR switch does NOT support IEEE 802.3af power, only Cisco proprietary power for Cisco IP phones and wireless access points. This is a hardware limitation. This is very clear in any of the data sheets or documentation for that switch on Cisco's web site.
    You would need a C3550 POE switch or higher to support IEEE 802.3af. If you are using a chassis based Catalyst switch (i.e. 4500 or 6500) then you will need to confirm the linecard support IEEE 802.3af POE, most do not.
    Hope that helps. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

  • Trouble replacing Westell 9100EM router w/ Asus RT-AC68U

    I got a new router (ASUS RT-A68U) and want to replace the Westell 9100EM that came installed w/ my FiOS package.
    I have the new router connected, and it can get to the internet just fine.  It's gui says it's connected to the internet, and I can use it's onboard diagnostics to ping google.com, do a tracert, etc.  However, none of the devices I connect to the new router can get an IP address.  My WIRED connection from the PC to the router is unable to get an IP, even after ipconfig /release and /renew (Windows 7, from command line).  My mobile phone can connect wirelessly to the new router, but is also unable to get an IP address.
    Are there some settings I need to manage in order to have it automatically assign IPs to connected devices?  I've set the new router to use google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4).  Do I need to use verizon's servers first?  Is there a change to the subnet mask or anything else that I'm missing?
    Thanks to anyone who can offer some advice

    Reset the router to factory defaults by pressing the reset button,
    By default the router is set up as 192.168.1.1 so enter that address in a browser and connect
    The default login is uerid admin and password admin
    you should be able to use Quick Internet Setup QIS
    Your fios account will give you an automatic dhcp address and no userid and password is required for that
    at this point your router should be connected to the internet.
    Using the main manu select lan and make sure the dhcp server is turned on (it's the radio button toggle at the top), should be by default and it should be handing out addresses on the 192.168.1 subnet.
    On your machine run cmd and type in ipconfig /all - certify that you have an ip address of 192.168.1.x
    If you've set the router dns to the google dns servers after the router reset then ipconfig should also show you that your dns servers are what you entered on the router if so
    All is OK an you should be up and running
    You'll probably want to change the default wireless settings, how to do that is inb the user manual.
    There is no need to reference the Verizon dns servers

  • 9100EM and WRE54G

    I have the westell 9100EM modem/router, and bought a linksys wre54g to try to increase the range. However, I simply cannot get the wre54g to work. If i use the setup CD, it always fails with the message "cannot associate with this ap in repeater mode". I also tried to do it manually by going to 192.168.1.240. The default gateway shows 0.0.0.0 when I reset. Everytime I set it to 192.168.1.1 and save the setting, 240 drops off the network. If i leave that alone, and put my wireless network's information in, the device also drops off the network. Has anyone had any experience with it? Any walkthrough or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    Peter

    Change wre54g to 192.168.1.50 instead of the defaulted range .240 and let me know if that helps.  If not 
     1. reset the unit (push the reset button for 30 seconds with a large paper clip) 2. plug the WRE54G into a wall socket but do not connect it to the network with a network cable. 3. Use the CD software. 4. If the software finds your existing network that you want to connect to, say yes. If it finds the WRE only say no and try again. Eventually after several cycles like this it will find both. (If not reset the WRE again and try again). 5. Eventually you will have chosen your existing network and it will have found the WRE (with the very long default name). 6. Select MANUAL setup. 7. Give the WRE the same SSID as the existing network. 8. Give the WRE the same security method (WEP for example) and the passphrase you used for the existing network. 9. finally there will be this box that counts to 100% and then dissappears. Wait awhile. Sometimes nothing happens for 5 minutes. If and when the "Congratulations" box shows up and the two lights on the WRE are blue you are all set. If this does not come up you may have to reset the WRE and try again.

  • Westell 9100em: Ports not forwarding

    I moved into a new apartment recently with Fios and a Westell A90 9100EM15-10 and I haven't figured out how to port forward with it yet.  I need these ports forwarded:
    7777(TCP/UDP)
    28900 (TCP)
    27900 (UDP)
    28910 (TCP)
    I followed the instructions an admin posted in this thread: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/port-forward-on-new-Westell-9100em/m-p/3021
    However, when I test the ports (for instance, port 7777 http://www.utorrent.com/testport?port=7777 here,) it never says any of them are open.  I have followed the directions step by step. On the port forwarding menu, it lists my entry for these ports as active for the local host and address 192.168.1.35, the static IP I have assigned to my computer.  The protocols read as follows:
    TCP Any -> 7777 
            UDP Any -> 7777 
            TCP Any -> 28900 
            UDP Any -> 27900 
            TCP Any -> 28910
    I have experience with port forwarding in the past with a Linksys router, but it apparently simply is not working out for me with this Westell.  Any assistance is appreciated...

    Do yours actually open?  I know Borderlands has serious connectivity issues right now.  My issue is that it doesn't seem like these ports are ever actually open for me.  I don't see why every port check site I used should return "closed" if they're actually open.

  • Westell 6110F w/ Linksys WRT330N router setup problem

    Yesterday I had to swap out my Fujitsu modem for a Westell 6110F and now my Linksys WRT330N router is not working properly.
    The modem works when plugged directly into the computer (using it to type this) so the connection is good and the Linksys worked fine up until the modem change.
    The Westell 6110F is the model that is the modem+bridge too, there is no onscreen menu (that's only for the Westell 6100) so no conflict with the router at 192.168.1.1 (I've also tried changing this).
    I've tried copying the MAC address from the computer and enabling that (seems to be a setting for people with Westell 6100 models but didn't work for me).
    And of course I've ipconfig /release /renew and rebooted both modem and router numerous times
    I'm in CA so DCHP (no logon needed)
    I'm sure there's a simple thing that needs to be changed but I'm at a total loss right now.

    OK ... I see nothing there that should prevent things from working as you indicated.
    So ... on the router, for the Internet connection type, do you have the option of DHCP?  I 'm reading the user document and it suspcisously is not listed as an option -- surely that can't be right -- that's the one you need.  Every Linksys product that I know has that as an option.
    Local network should be 192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0 and you should enable the DHCP server (this is probably the default setting).
    On the Mac Address Clone page -- select clone the PC's Mac address (00-30-F1-1C-7F-1F) -- this shouldn't be necessary but it will get around any DHCP lease issues you may be having.
    On the Advanced Routing page, make sure NAT is enabled.
    Connect blue WAN port on the Linksys to the port where you originally had the working PC plugged in on the modem.
    Technically ... that should be it.
