If the key you are supposed to use from your ISP doesn't work, I would call your ISP. If you feel you need a username/password to login to your connection, and you don't know the credentials, call your ISP.

Things not working is one thing, but not having the proper information to get things to work is quite another.

I don't know why you would change anything in regards to IP on the router itself. Most routers will essentially have a static IP, but more along the likes of 192.168.x.x - whereas it sounds as if you are trying to assign your public IP handed out by your ISP, to your Router.

What I would recommend is you disconnect your linksys for now, hook your PC into your Westell directly, and then call your ISP. At that point, if the connection isn't working it's their problem to figure out. Not trying to be direct you elsewhere, but they would know the proper configuration and settings to get you up and running.

At that point, they may/may not help you get the router to work. But we could always help you with that

In some 2wires that I have set up the key is the bar code on the wireless router. I don't know why they did this, but it is only in certain models. I don't know whcih models functioned like that.

Dude..i got it all workin by my self. I took all the settings like ip..submask..Df...and dns..and set it up static and got the wireless workin...im pretty happy..verizon gave me the run around likethey ALWAYS do...but is havin a dsl modem/router setup static ok?

 

[kcnychief]

Good to hear you got it working

What values on your router did you configure statically?

 

[failurbydesign]

These settings. Its been weird, the router will work off and one, now sometimes with static set up and others now dhcp works...its pretty weird!

 

[kcnychief]

Um, what settings are "These settings" ?

 

[failurbydesign]

Ha i forgot to add the pic...

 

[failurbydesign]

anything?

 

[kcnychief]

I don't see a point/benefit to giving it a Static IP, I would believe that means your ISP gives you a Static IP, which it doesn't unless you pay extra monthly for it.

I would leave as DHCP.

 

[failurbydesign]

its on dhcp, but it always is loosing its connection, i have to reset the router like every hour or so...why is that?

 

[kcnychief]

Could be something with the router itself, have you verified you have the most up-to-date firmware?

 

[failurbydesign]

yea im good with the software

 

[kcnychief]

Try taking the router out of the equation? See if you can run at least one of the PC's hooked into your DSL Modem directly for a few days, see how stable the connection is.

 

[failurbydesign]

i could, but the modem/router iis hooke dup in my parnets office, they dont go online but maybe 10 mina day...so even if i did that, i would have no way of "testing" it..ya see? It weird, when i loose the internet, i go to the router ui and that pic i posted..i just chnagethe setting from manual to auto and it works...very weird...
