I have verizon dsl with a westell 6100 modem. i have this connected to a linksys wrt54gx4. my question is how do i open a port so i can get faster downloads. keeps saying that the port is blocked. opened port in router setup but still nothing. please help. thank you
You might be experiencing a slight problem here.The Westell 6100 is a modem/router in one.It's also a DHCP server with NAT firewall embedded on it same specificattion as of your WRT54GX4 router.
I recommend that you setup first your modem to bridge mode and setup PPPoE connection on the router.As soon as this is finished,feel free to reply back for steps on port forwarding.
By the way, kindly post the port you're trying to open.
