Do i need a wireless router if i have westell 6100f

If your object is to get Netflix on your TV, and not knowing what brand or model TV you have nor whether or not you have an existing wi-fi system, that question is a little difficult to answer. For example, I have Suddenlink cable, wi-fi, and can access Netflix and other similar providers through either my TV or TiVo, although I always go through TiVo. You may need to update your TV.

If that is a westell 6100F series, that is the problem. Westell admits they had trouble with that series staying connecting. Try finding a westell 6100G. I had the exact same problem with verizon.

It's your modem. If you are a verizon customers they said they had trouble with the westell 6100F series not staying connected.

modem did not correct for set up and help to set correct also sorensen router need to set up for modem thank

Probably you used the wrong type of ethernet cable, a crossover one. Try another Ethernet cable but this time a straight one.

You have to know the required ports for music downloading in order for you to configure on your router.

Your Wireless router should have come with a CD. Insert the CD into your computer and follow it step by step. If it did not come with it here is a basic wiring setup.
From wall jack to Westell modem, From modem to uplink port on Max G router.
Reboot Westell modem. T
Everything should auto-configure unless you need a username and password for your DLS. If so you will need to program this into your router.

Ted, If you have checked all of your filters one by one and they are ok, I had the same problem. I even ran what they call a Home Run wire which is a direct line from your modem to the outside box and that did not work. After talking to numerous Techs. I was told it was the modem itself, if yours is less than a year old they should send you another one. I purchased a new one at Walmart for $69 that has that has a router built into it for my wireless laptop. It has the Verizon logo on the box and within ten minutes I was connected and havn't had the problem since.
Good Luck, Bob L.

the wireless won't work. i have the same problem. westell modems aren't compatible with wireless function on some laptops therefore routing signal through a wireless router allows that. it can be done, i've done it but after modem was reset having issues. keep searching it can be done...

thanks for the vague and non-informative answer though whoever that was.
