Data light on westell 6100g modem blinks all th time

Yes this router will work with any DSL or cable modem that is out in the market right now, it just need to be setup properly to work with your modem.

Connect the NetGear WAN/ Internet port to the WAN/Internet port of the Westell cable modem, then connect your PC to any of the ports on the router
Then:

Shutdown your PC. Unplug the power from the router and the cable modem.
Wait 30 sec. then plug in the power to the cable modem, wait 30 sec. then plug the power to the router. Wait till you have "Internet" light then restart your PC. The PC should pick up an IP address and you should be able to get on-line. This is if you have a cable service provider. If you have DSL, the router needs to be configured with PPOe

If that is a westell 6100F series, that is the problem. Westell admits they had trouble with that series staying connecting. Try finding a westell 6100G. I had the exact same problem with verizon.

Serveral soultions to try and they are at no cost to you. First, try re-booting the modem. Your modem stores cache just like a computer does, and it can build up on you. I myself unplug mine about once a week.. Two, in the control panel under Internet Opetion under browser history click on delete and confirm the delete, this will delete your temp. files. You might have exceeded the amount of cache allowed by windows. Finally make certain that you have ipx, and spx protocol installed on your comuter. If this doesn't help, I would get a new modem from your isp, more than likely it is bad. I know verizon modem are good for maximum of 2 years and average 1 year. I would recommend westell 6100 G moem and get a wireless router to go with.

It is verizon faught. I had a tech guy told me if there i no green dsl light your are not getting any signal from the co.

Hi,

ethernet light should no blink

check the LAN drivers..if possible reinstall them..do a complete powercycle.of the system.
Switch of the pc-modem-router..wait for 1 minute then switch on the router/modem wait for all light to come back-switch on the pc..if intermet light is blinking there might be an issue at the ISP's end.

cheers.

I have a westell 6100 modem also- The light your are talking about always blinks- it blinks as long as the internet is working (it is sending and transmitting data)

My ethernet light On my 6100 westell is not on what are the causes. The light use to be on Thanks

Blinking light means that firmware on your DSL modem just got updated. The modem is pinging the Networ/Computer connected to it. If you open your Modem Page 192.168.1.1 you will see the difference, unless you never have done it before.

Contact verizon if they can replace the router becase the internet light should be green and flashing as you use the internet.
