I am having trouble with Port Forwarding for the Westell 327W Wireless Router.

Your router is for DSL not cable

SOURCE: I can no longer connect to Echolink

How to set up the ports for Echolink:

1. Go to this page (link).
2. Choose the correct router model (if you don't find it, use a model similar to yours. The setup for all Westell routers is almost the same.)
3. skip the advertisement on the next page (upper right corner)
4. choose "Echolink" from the list.
5. Simply follow the instructions.
6. Voila!

1. Important!! (and most often the reason why it is not working): Make sure that yourWindows Firewall is not blocking the application (see Control Panel-> Windows Firewall -> Exceptions) (details also here).
2. You have to allow UDP destination ports 5198-5199 between Internet andPC in both directions and allow TCP (source port any, destination port5200) from PC to Internet.

Howdy - You may have a two fold problem here. First of all the Westell wireless modem/router 327w has the access IP address of - 192.168.1.254. (Or you can simply type "launchmodem" in the address bar - (one word - no quotes)) This will definitely get you in. You will then see the setup menu. That problem solved...

Now, from what I understand, you are using a Westell wireless modem/router 327w made for Bellsouth/ATT. If this is the case, you will see the Bellsouth Logo on the setup page. Additionally, it is stated on the page below, that you cannot use a Bellsouth modem/router for any other ISP (Internet Service Provider) This is due to the Bellsouth/ATT firmware that Westell builds into this modem/router.

This is the page link:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/bellsouth/3.141_Westell_327W__wireless__Info#13772

This is the relevant quote:
"The BellSouth supplied 327W (model C90-327W30-06) is made exclusively for BellSouth FastAccess. They are functionally different from retail Westells (or any model designed for use with other ISPs) and the firmware between them are not compatible and can not be interchanged."

That being said, you still might attempt to use this 327W with centurytel but I do not know if it will work. I use the Bellsouth 327W and it is GREAT. Good luck.

P.S. - Please be advised that Westell does manufacture an identical 327W that does NOT have the Bellsouth/ATT firmware.installed. This is the "generic" version I suppose but I have no experience with this one. If you need more just ask. :)

You Will Have to Disable the Firewall In Your modem / Router

And IF it is a router then Open The Ports

• TCP 80
• UDP 88
• UDP 3074
• TCP 3074
• UDP 53
• TCP 53

And also make sure that UPnP is Enabled
