No Internet Connection Windows XP And Westell 7500 Modem Router?
Oct 12, 2011
I recently needed a new router from my internet provider. They came to my home and set up Westell 7500 modem router. My home computer brings up internet with no problems or delays. Unfortunately, my wireless laptop won't recognize any network.I plugged it in using the ethernet cord directly to laptop and modem and still no internet. I'm frustrated, I use my laptop all the time and without the internet it's worthless.

I used these instructions to put my Fairpoint westell 7500 modem/router into bridge mode: [URL]. Then I hooked my new e3200 to the westell 7500, but no matter what I tried, I could not get any PCs hooked to the e3200 to be able to get to the internet.so able to get to internet too. My questions are:Is there any downside to doing it this way? (ie, not putting westell in bridge mode).Can this cause any slowness or conflicts? Any reasons why bridge mode may not have worked?

I have a cable modem but need to hook up 2-3 computers. I cant get internet through my d link router, but can still use it for home networking. I tried getiing into the d link with 192.168.2.1 but failed...resetting does nothing. I also have a westell 7500 dsl modem/router but it also fails to supply any comp with internet, although only my xp comp can access it. I can not get into the routers. Resetting does nothing.

I am very new to port forwarding and firewall issues. I have been told that the software issue that I have probably is a router/modem issue as every other possibility has been ruled out. I have a Westell 7500 modem. How do I access, set or change settings on it? And, which is the better modem, a Westell 7500 or a Westell 327W??

We are using a Westell 7500 wireless modem/router from Frontier without any problemsI have two d-link wireless n300 routers that I want to add to network so I can add them to our DirecTV DVR's. I have tried using the D-link CD and instructions without any success. Everytime it prompts me for my 1st router's (the Westell's) login/password, it says it's invalid. If I then click to continue w/o the logon and password, it then gives me an error when it is trying to add the d-link. I have tried everything. My Westell IP is 192.168.1.1. How can I access and add the d-link routers? Is there an easier way?

So I have a Westell 7500 Modem/Router with Century Link DSL. I've been running a couple of laptops and my wifi enabled TV on the wireless. A few days ago I got a new desktop PC (Windows 7) and plugged the ethernet cable into it. Everything was great but the wireless was a bit slow for the TV so I plugged that in with an ethernet cable too. No problems for a few days. Today, we had a power blip and everything reset and I noticed that the internet light on the modem was solid red and I couldn't access the internet on any machine (ethernet or wifi). I called the ISP who said there was an outage in the area. A few hours later, solid green light on the modem BUT the TV (ethernet connected), my iphone, and my laptops could NOT connect, despite the network showing up with a full signal. Oddly, my new PC, connected via ethernet was fine so I played some Diablo (side note). Here's the deal: the new PC connects just fine but nothing else will. If I unplug the ethernet cable to the PC or disable the LAN connection, the red internet light appears on the modem. It seems as though the PC has hijacked the modem in some way. Even the TV won't connect with the ethernet cable. The only way the internet works now is if the modem is connected to the new PC. I've done all the resents - unplugged the modem and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, accessed the router settings, etc etc. Why would this start happening now after everything was working well for several days and how do I fix it? I need the wifi connection! Update: Plugged my Macbook Pro into the ethernet cable (took it out of new PC) and it works.

I have a Vizio smart tv with built in wifi. I have Centurylink dsl service with a Westell 7500 gateway. All of my wifi devices, including my tv can access the internet appropriately. I also have a wii connected to my tv which can access the internet via wifi. My question is---is there anyway to setup an internet connection to my directv hd receiver using the wifi connection through my tv or wii? I really do not want to buy anymore equipment and I only have one phone line run with dsl service.

I have DSL service through Verizon, using the wireless modem Westell 7500. At least 1-2 days a week the power light goes out on the modem. I typically reboot the modem and it takes 1-2 minutes to restart but sometimes I have to reboot a second time in order to get the power light to go on.

I had to upgrade my 2Wire router for ATT because it kept shutting down by itself. I received a Westell 7500 today and sucessfully added my laptop, two iPhones and XBOX onto the network. Laptop was hooked through ethernet cord for original setup, but then sucessfully connected to wifi. XBOX is hardwired in with port forwarding and open NAT. I have a desktop in another room that I would like to connect to Westell's network, but cannot get it to work. It used to connect to the 2Wire wirelessly, but will not connect to the Westell. It runs Windows XP. Trying to get an answer here, before I call ATT. It recognizes the wireless network, but will not connect.

Earlier today I attempted to change the setting on my Westell 6100 modem such that it would simply bridge the connection to my Linksys WRT54GS router, basically involving setting the router to bridge only and turning DHCP off. Now I no longer get an internet connection through my router when previously the connection had worked perfectly fine before. I following the steps of cloning the MAC address to the router and have done the proper resetting steps (computer, them router, then modem) but I simply can't get an internet connection through my router. The process to set up simple bridging from the modem what supposed to end up with the internet light no longer turning on but the light turned back on following one of the resets.
Currently, I can connect to the internet through the modem just fine but I get nothing when I include the router. I'm not sure if there are some other settings I'm supposed to be changing as I can't seem to find anything past what I've already done when researching online. At this point I would just be happy reverting the settings I've changed but I don't know how to access the modem now that DHCP is off.Basically, I'd prefer to be able to get the router working with these new settings but if that proves too difficult (as I've heard it can be when trying to get Westell modems to work with Linksys routers) I'd like to learn how to access the modem and change the settings back to what they were (preferably in as simple terms as possible as I don't particularly understand what a lot of these settings/configurations do).(And a bit of an aside, but I had attempted to do this modem bridging to "fix" perceived internet speed problems. I've been averaging around 300Kbps download rates ever since I've had this internet connection from Verizon when the supposed download rates should be between 1MB and 1.3MB. Doing this modem bridging had been reported to fix some modem/router conflicts and improved connection speeds for some.)

I have my Westell model 7500 in the barn office. I need the wireless internet in the apartment that was built in the front of the barn. The living room, where I need the signal for Roku, Kindle, and laptop, is approximately 60 to 70 feet from the modem. For awhile I had a low signal strength and I could use the internet but now it is nonexistent in the apartment. The Westell was provided by my internet supplier. How do I boost the signal so that I can get it in my apartment?

Any issues connecting a DIR-645 router to a Westell 7500 router? I can connect a WRT54G router to the Westel; using 2 different SSIDs and 2 different channels and all is well, but I'm ready to just throw out this POS DIR-645. Not sure why/who gave it all these 'rave reviews'! Documentation is horrible and D-LInk is hopeless.

I bought a Westell 7500 router off ebay to replace the same router provided by century link as I was trying to avoid rental fees. My computer recognizes there is a signal, but I can't get the internet to connect. Any settings I should change? The router I purchased was configured to at&t service. I have Century link. Century link won't assist me because it isn't their router.

I have DSL via ethernet on my Mac through a Westell 6100 series modem/router, which also has a USB port. Is it possible to share my Internet connection, preferably via a cable not wireless, with a PC laptop by using the USB port (with an ethernet adaptor), or by splitting my present ethernet connection?

I'm unable to access the internet when I plug my modem (Westell 6100) into my router (Netgear WPN824). It works perfectly fine when I connect my modem directly to my computer though. It was working perfectly last night and for the last few years up until now.
I've tried sequencing, turning off my modem/router/pc while waiting two minutes in between each step but it doesn't work. I'm 100% sure the log in and password information to log in is correct (I use PPPoE to access the internet). I've tried resetting the router to factory settings and going through the setup but I get the same result. (Unable to connect)
OS: Windows XP
ISP: Verizon DSL/PPPoE
Modem model: Westell 6100
Router: Netgear WPN824

I have been running routers and port forwarding for like the last 8 years and I am absolutely stumped why this router will not do it.I have a host/remote app where the remote accesses the host on port 7777 but it will not work even after adding that in the router admin.I also set the firewall to allow everything to make sure it is not part of the problem.

I am trying to navigate to the port forwarding page but cannot get to it. Some admin pages on this load and others do not, unless you click them about 15 times.
Here is the page I am trying to get on it now. [URL] And all i get is a blank page on the browser.

We have an existing RVS4000 that has been coexisting peacefully with an ISP managed Netopia 2241N. That configuration has worked fine for over a year.The company is switching to using Verizon DSL instead. Verizon sent a Westell Model 7500 router. The router works fine with a standalone PC but, in none of the modes can I get internet connectivity through the Westell to the RVS4000. I can't ping the gateway or the DNS addresses and there is zero activity. I've tried the default "routed bridge" settings on the modem as well as the "bridge" settings. I can only get these working directly on a PC but as soon as I put the RVS4000 in between nothing seems to be getting through. I've tried turning off all Firewall features in both devices but hasn't worked.
There is a single, static IP. What specific modes and settings should be in the RVS4000 to communicate with the Westell Model 7500 in "bridge" mode?What adjustments should be made to the Westell to pass along the necessary ports that will be needed?Even though it is a business account, Verizon refuses any assistance beyond getting the unit functioning with a single computer and, if requested, setting their Westell to "bridge" mode.

I have a westell 7500 with fairpoint service hooked up to my DSL line. I have disabled woreless on the westell. I then have a linksys e-1000 connected to the westell 7500. I have one wired computer on that network, my imac/game server, my main PC, my wii and an ipod touch connected connected to the linksys e-1000 wirelessly. I want to forward port 25565 through these routers to my imac. How can I do this? I have tried portforward.com, and a million other things.
