Rich,
Understand both are 6100 m/n.
Hmm. Can you tell me the m/n's of both?
So far, Westell looks DOABLE......
a bit confused. one does "service.". one does "dsl router."
Odd. Yes, I admit freely to "stupid" status here.
It has been 6 years since I did this research.
OK, I am being anal, maybe...... LOL!
Best,
Duncan
What m/n's are they?At 15:48 10/08/2007 -0400, you wrote:
Using 2 Westell modems via Verizon DSL service. Both of them are 6100
model. One says DSL modem, the other says DSL2+Router. Both have worked
well with Linksys and Netgear routers. Pretty solid. Needed to reset maybe
1-2x a year.

HBest,
At best, my question may have been apples to oranges comparison. LOL
Glad to know someone has experience w/Westell.
I have no idea what att may send me in the end!
Just wondering about what they say are "compatible."
Concerned becuz there were no "normal" names. Hmm.
TNX. UR2cents R worth the mint ATM. Good news.
(btw, the order crashed! They did not like something......)
I'll try again later this evening.
Best,
Duncan

I use Verizon DSL and the modem they supplied was a Westell. (Don't have
time at the moment to check model number) It has seemed a solid modem.
Only twice in more that 3 years have I needed to unplug it and reboot it.
I have used it with 3 different models of Netgear routers. (2 wired and
one wired/wireless).
May be comparing apples to oranges, but just putting my 2 cents in.
