Please log in for more thread options Signed up w verizon dsl(14.95 package) 'dsl light' on westell modem does not stay on , flickers on and off. Verizon says my completion date is 3-14-06 then why does it say connected 100MBPS icon in system tray when connected? Do I really have to wait to this date? Can someone please tell me how to config this manually without using cd?

The 100 mbps reading you're getting is the Ethernet connection established between your computer and the device. It has no bearing on your DSL connection. I had Verizon DSL in the very early days when it was still problematic, and dumped it for cable and never looked back. But IIRC, there's a "link" light on the Westell modem that should be on and not blinking if you've got a valid connection to your central office. Another sure-fire way to tell if you're DSL is connected is to test your phone. If DSL is active on it, you'll get a "wave-like" effect where the volume will rise and lower until you install the filters on the jacks that are going to service your phone/answering machine, etc. Just make sure NOT to put one on a jack that's going to service the computer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thanks for your reply. The light flickers on and off(the dsl light) so I guess that the service will not be active until the 14th. On that date, do I have to logon to the router? Do I have to setup a username and pword? I hope all this trouble is worth it; the 768kbps upload seems kind of slow. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
