Westell Modem - Where To Purchase A Westell Modem?

By Daniel Turbin


A Westell modem is a gadget used to connect a computer or wireless router to a telephone line in order to achieve online connection. Westell Technologies, Inc manufactures DSL (digital subscriber line) modems for homes and offices. The company was founded in 1980 in a small city in Illinois (Willowbrook) and started as an electronic signal and transmission company. The company eventually moved its headquarters to Aurora, Illinois, which is today headed up by Richard Gilbert, President and CEO of Westell Technologies.

A single product of Westell Technologies Inc is recognized as the Westell 6100 modem. The 6100 is the regular modem shipped to BellSouth customers when providing them with Internet service. It has been the standard BellSouth modem since 2004. The Westell 6100 offers lights on its control unit for power, Ethernet, USB, DSL, and Internet, and also the Westell name and zig-zag trademark logo. You can acquire the Westell modem at Amazon.com for just $10 in the color black only.

The Westell 2200 modem is another Internet connection device manufactured by Westell Technologies. It is a Westell modem at Verizon wireless but comes in a white color with lights to check power, DSL, Ethernet, as well as USB capabilities. The device weighs five pounds and can be bought for just $2.99 at Amazon.com.

The Westell modem 327w Versalink Web Router comes with four Ethernet ports, a DSL port, Internet, as well as wireless capabilities while displaying the color black only. It consists of a modem adapter (also black) and presents all of its connections at the back of the modem (as routers do). The modem promotes at Amazon.com for $17-$20.

Verizon Wireless Internet potential customers who own a Westell often inquire about how exactly to change their Westell modem password. When you are in this condition, the following rules apply:

Go on the internet, type in "192.168.1.1" in the address bar, click enter, and you should head to the Network Password page where you are to enter your password.

Type in your username in the username box.

Type your password in the password box and click "enter." The home display screen should appear right away.

If the Westell home screen will never appear, use the default username and the password to log in. You can find these at the Verizon Wireless site.

Go to "Connection Overview" and then click "edit." The VOL connection screen appears. The account password field demands you to enter a new password. Once you enter it, click "save." You will then be asked about keeping the new password, and you have to select "ok."

One place from which you could purchase a Westell modem is Amazon.com. As above mentioned, some Westells are really inexpensive at Amazon and even cost a lot less than other electronic sellers. You can go to Amazon and enter the search keywords of the object (in this case, a Westell DSL) that you want. When you order $25 or more of free material, you can get your Westell and the other items with free shipping. There are other Westells which can be more expensive than some of the previously models like the 6100. Amazon offers the Westell 7500 and Verizon Westell 7501 modems just for $89.99 and $63.99, respectively. In addition to these, other Westells available to buy are:

Westell Wirespeed 2100 Ethernet /USB modem

Westell ProLine DSL modem and wires

Westell 2200 DSL modem

Verizon Westell UltraLine Collection 3 9100EM Cordless Router
