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..

I would assume the D-Link would work fine. About the router on the modem. I don't know. It only has 1 rj45 jack. I read that for the Linksys to work with the Westell 6100 DSL2+Router, DHCP would have to be disabled on the Linksys. I tried it at first, but nothing worked. So as it is set up
