Westell 6100 router question

I have Verizon DSL with the 6100 modem.

It appears the 6100 has a built-in router. I also run a NetGear Wireless
router.

Can the 6100 router be disabled? And if so - how to go about it.

Ted:


What you have to do is put the Westel in "Bridge" mode so that it will
act like a DSL modem only.

A good description of putting the Westell 6100 in bridge mode can be
found Here:

http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/13600

or Here:

The ROUTER then handles the PPoE login and DHCP. Also remember that
the Westell and the new router MUST be on different subnets. Example:
If you leave the Westell's IP address as 192.168.1.1 (The default) the
router's IP address sould be changed to, say, 192.168.2.1 The
router will then hand out IP addresses to any PC connected to it in
the range 192.168.2.x
