Re: Westell DSL Model 6100 Disconnectin problem

Register at DSLReports and run their Line Quality Tests. It's useful many times to run this test several times, and we'd like to see each of the results. Post the results link from the top of the test display page for each test run here.

The link to post is near the top of the page and looks like:

If you wish to post this result to a forum, please copy/paste this URL
http://www.dslreports.com/linequality/nil/2357195 <- sample only, yours will obviously be different!
and your IP will be disguised.

Copy/paste that link here.

Note: You will have to enable PING (ICMP) request response either in your router (if you have one), or in your computer's firewall for direct modem connections. This is very important to get the most important part of the test to run.

Re: Westell DSL Model 6100 Disconnectin problem

http://www.dslreports.com/linequality/nil/2401433
is mine and i have the same exact problem where it would just disconnect suddenly (the internet light would go out and the DSL light would flash constantly. i use the ethernet). would it be better if i just switch to the USB line when this happens?
