It looks like there are other people who have solved the problem: How do I connect this Westell to a <insert manufacturer here> router.

One example: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15109643

My westell6100 is connected directly to my phone line which has filters for all other units such as my fax and regular phone and the phone line in to my computer which I also use as a secondary fax.

See the Computers and Related thread on my Netgear adventure. :sweat:

My Ringu torrent is still going slow: It's been on for 6 hours today (since I can't leave it running overnight) and it's still only at 40%

I've never seen a DSL modem like yours before...reading up on the manual trying to understand it to help you all. :sweat:

It's pretty much the standard issue now from Verizon. My daughter and my landlady got the same model when they installed Verizon DSL.

I'm used to seeing the standard issue Pacific Bell...aka SBC...aka the new ATT DSL modems.

It has no switches or adjustments on it. Only choice of two outputs, either ethernet or usb and an on/off switch.

It's all the internal webconfigurations that's all new to me.

Hmm, didn't even check to see if a user's manual/reference guide was available... :doh:

For some reason there's two Westell 6100s on their website... The one I think everyone has is the ProLine 6100...

Haven't done a thing... Been trying to network my other PC into the mix.

And thinking about going back to that static IP. :sweat:

I gave that up after signing up for DSL. :beaten:

Bah. Bit Torrent sucks. Give me direct download anytime! BT is too inconsistent, and you have to have a decent number of seeds for any sort of speed. I'm still trying to finish my Ringu D/L, but its terribly slow :(

it does get more difficult as the torrent gets older... the new stuff you'll get in a flash.

Hear Hear.... You may sit there for a year waiting for it to finish if ever....

I don't understand why people don't just make stuff available on megauplaod or something like that which is ideal for DSL. I've pretty much given up on BT. :shakehead:

LOl, I'm ready to do that and I haven't even started yet. :hehe:

Case in point: My current torrent is 669MB. it's still on 94% or about 634MB, but i've already uploaded over 1G on the same torrent :(
