Usb not detected, emaxx 6100 - Computers & Internet

Check its user manual. It is written in it where the front usb connector has to be fixed.

best of luck!

I suggest that you use ethernet connection instead of the USB connection.

Ethernet is more stable that USB, you less likely to experience dropped connections.

Also take note that you can only use one connection at a time. You CANNOT use Ethernet on one computer, then USB on the other computer.

But if you insist to use the USB connection, you need to install the drivers. Once the usb cable is connected to the modem and computer, you will get a found new hardware wizard screen. Then you will need to insert the CD that came with the adapter to your computer.

If the found new hardware wizard did not appear, check your device manager and look if there is a USB adapter with a question mark or exclamation point. Right click on the USB adapter then click reinstall.

It should detect the drivers from the cd.

Good luck and have a great day!

You can buy adapter from newegg.com to convert standard PC mini-din keyboards/mouse to USB.

Try installing the usb driver or check if the usb ports is enable or disable if it is disabled plz enable it.To check this right click my computer click on properties,click on hardware devices,then click on usb to check it out.

My same model Argos mouse was auto-detected as a "USB compliant mouse" and it failed to work. Went into device Manager and manually re-installed driver as a "HID compliant mouse" from local drivers and it works!!

Yrs, Mad-****.

I have a westell 6100 modem also- The light your are talking about always blinks- it blinks as long as the internet is working (it is sending and transmitting data)

try http://driverguide.com/

right nest to the power button is the wifi antenna button insure that it is green indicating that it is turned on

yes.. you may do that and also, please make sure that the drivers of the USB ports on your computers are installed..

Hi floinmist .

Westell 6100 modem by default can only be used for 1 PC . It cannot orit is not enabled to use for 2or morer computers as it creates a conflict within. Ethernet connection is the BEST connection for you to use.> your USB is sent to you by you provider { ISP} or by westell packages. Its is only a spare cable just in case your PC doesnt support ethernet connection ,  nothing else. 

To resolve this issue you might want to upgrade your modem to a router w/c is westell versalink . You can connect 2 or more computers  { wired or wireless connection } and is more stable compared to your westell 6100.

Connecting 2 computers could cause slow, intermittent and NO connections at all problems.

IF you have other questions pls feel free to ask and let me know if theres anything ii can assist you with .

Best wishes.
