327w Westell Views
Returned the westell 327w and got the wired westell 2200. Works a lot better. Connected it to my Netgear wireless router and everything is working fine. Only problem is I get speed of 1167kbps in zip code 11375. Verizon promised upto 3.0 Mbps. Maybe there are some modem settings that can be tweaked to get higher speed(like disabling DHCP server on the modem and enabling it to be a routing bridge)?
I was tearing my hair out w/ the Westell 327W wireless connection, no help from Verizon or Dell and finally called GeeksKnockin out. There were 2 problems, both contributing. 1) The antenna wasn't fully screwed into the router (stupid problem, but worth mentioning just in case). 2) Came transmitting on Channel 6 as default and something in my house was conflicting with this. Logged into router (finally found password, of course no instructions on this came from Verizon), changed to Channel 1, and now it works like a charm. Actually get a stronger signal than w/ my previous Linksys router. So play around with the channel settings. (It still cuts out when we use our cordless phone, but this is a small price to pay). Good luck!!
I am trying to set up a webcam (Logitech) and need to set port forwarding in the Westell 327W modem/router.All research says the model I have was made specifically for Verizon and I should contact them for tech help.Verizon says this topic falls under advanced tech help and I will need to pay. ;-o( Any one know of a way to open ports or port forwarding on a Westell 327W modem/router?
Westell 327W came out in 2005 and is still in use today as a simple and powerful DSL modem. Not only is the Westell 327W a wireless modem, it is also a wired modem that has 4 Ethernet jacks for different computers or other devices. If you want to configure a Westell 327W with a computer it is quite simple as long as you have DSL Internet.
