Have USB verizon modem connected to Belkin router. Works fine for 2 computers on general internet surfing. I keep getting bumped off when I try to play PS3 online. Are my speeds to slow at 60 to 80 kbps or are there any changes I can make to get this to work with MW2.

Hi

Though Belkin play router has a USB port on it, it would not accept the input via that port there by you can not connected the USB connection from Verizon to the router. You need to switch from USB connection to Ethernet connection on the Verizon modem contacting verizon.

your problem is a IP address conflict

Embarq and Belkin have the same IP address 192.168.2.1

change the IP address in to your Router.

2. Press and hold the reset button on the bottom of the router

ISP DSL ask your provider is your connection is PPOE or Dynamic and after do this.

When there is limited connectivity check if the laptop gets an IP address from the router. ELse try configuring it manually. Restart the laptop if necessary.

Please rate if helpful.

It was working with Verizon. verizon is a DSL company and Comcast is a CABLE company. settings will be different for both the ISPs. Make sure that your computer is able to go online directly through the modem.
If your computer is able to go online through the modem, that means the modem is working fine.
You will need to connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
open the set up page of the router and change the settings of the router according to the ISP.

Wellll....since it seemed an impossible task, I tried the next best thing.
I bought a wireless adapter for the other pc and voila! they are on the internet, and I am returning the router.

Westell modem + Verizon DSL w/usb = No connection to router.

Did you already forward port 1723? I guess you have done that. To isolate it, try to bypass the router and setup or establish the VPN session there. If it doesn't work, maybe your ISP doesn't allow port 1723 or it's just the modem.

Are you trying to connect to the wireless network on the laptop ?
It is very simple.
first you will need to make sure that you have all the wireless settings of the network.
