Westell Modem - Where To Purchase A Westell Modem?

By Daniel Turbin


A Westell modem is a gadget used to connect a computer or wireless router to a land line in order to achieve online connection. Westell Technologies, Inc manufactures DSL (digital subscriber line) modems for residences and offices. The company was established in 1980 in a small city in Illinois (Willowbrook) and launched as an electronic signal and transmission company. The company eventually moved its headquarters to Aurora, Illinois, which is today headed up by Richard Gilbert, President as well as CEO of Westell Technologies.

A single product of Westell Technologies Inc is recognized as the Westell 6100 modem. The 6100 is the standard modem shipped to BellSouth clients when providing them with Internet service. It has been the standard BellSouth modem since 2004. The Westell 6100 provides lights on its control panel for power, Ethernet, USB, DSL, and Internet, as well as the Westell name and zig-zag trademark logo. You can purchase the Westell modem at Amazon.com for just $10 in the color choice black only.

The Westell 2200 modem is yet another Internet connection device manufactured by Westell Technologies. It is a Westell modem at Verizon wireless but comes in a white color with lights to check power, DSL, Ethernet, as well as USB capabilities. The device weighs about five pounds and can be bought online for just $2.99 at Amazon.com.

The Westell modem 327w Versalink Web Router offers four Ethernet ports, a DSL port, Internet, and wireless capabilities while bearing the color black only. It comes with a modem adapter (also black) and provides all of its connections in the back of the modem (as routers do). The modem promotes at Amazon.com for $17-$20.

Verizon Wireless Internet customers who own a Westell usually inquire about how to change their Westell modem password. When you are in this situation, the following rules apply:

Go on the internet, type in "192.168.1.1" in the address bar, click enter, and you should come to the Network Password page where you are to enter your password.

Type in your own username in the username box.

Type the password in the password box then click "enter." The home display screen should appear immediately.

If the Westell home screen will never appear, use the default username and password to log in. You can find these at the Verizon Wireless site.

Go to "Connection Overview" and click "edit." The VOL connection screen shows up. The account password field demands you to enter a new password. Once you enter it, click "save." You will then be asked about keeping the new password, and you should select "ok."

One place from which you can purchase a Westell modem is Amazon.com. As previously mentioned, some Westells are incredibly inexpensive at Amazon and even cost a lot less than other electronic sellers. You can easily go to Amazon and enter the search keywords of the object (in this case, a Westell DSL) that you want. When you order $25 or more of free material, you can get your Westell and the other packages with free shipping. There are other Westells that are more expensive than some of the earlier models like the 6100. Amazon deals and offers the Westell 7500 and Verizon Westell 7501 modems for $89.99 and $63.99, respectively. In addition to these, other Westells to choose from are:

Westell Wirespeed 2100 Ethernet /USB modem

Westell ProLine DSL modem and cables

Westell 2200 DSL modem

Verizon Westell UltraLine Series 3 9100EM Wifi Router
