Hi I want to know on how to setup the verizon Modem/Router I already have a Westell 6100G and i want to upgrade to the new one called Verizon Wireless modem/router model:GT704WG.

Call verizon dsl and make sure you have your account username and password (given to you by verizon when the connection was put in your home) when you get them on the phone. also make sure you have the username and password for your Linksys device.

You will need to get the right User ID and Password before proceeding.

Also make your Verizon 6100G LAN port is connected to your BEFW11S4 WAN port.

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.

Admin/password should take you in.
This 7501 is preconfigured to be a wireless router. You should be able to directly connect it to Internet (Cable/DSL modem) to Wan port and use the details of Wireless access in the back of the modem to get connected. By default it is setup to WEP and the access details are on the back of the Westell 7501.
Its available for 19.99 on VErizon site now.

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.

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,

I used to work for verizon for two years as level 3 support,here is the thing,if verizon already replaced the modem,that means that its not really the modem,its the connection,thats what we call intermittent route,here is what you are going to do,contact verizon,have them run an intermittent connection line test,tell them that internet connection is not consistent,they will create an active ticket for you,it will be forwarded to the central office and the central office will run a different test,thats what we call a test assist...they will be able to verify if the problem is the line form the central office going to your house...


thanks and God Bless

there might be a problem with the Linksys router, the Westell 6100 should be 1st set to bridge mode in order for your router to be connected to it. or there could also be a proble on the Verizon server.

You have options definitely. You can get it through verizon, they'll ship it to you free of charge. You can also buy it at any local store near you. If you're going with the second option, just make sure you're getting either an Actiontec or Westell brand, because those are the only modem that Verizon supports, even if you buy it outside. Since you're going to upgrade your modem, I suggest getting a Westell 7500 or an Actiontec GT704, both are wireless capable already. If you use XBOX 360, I suggest getting Westell 327 or Actiontec GT701 or GT704.
