Using 2 Westell modems via Verizon DSL service. Both of them are 6100 model. One says DSL modem, the other says DSL2+Router. Both have worked well with Linksys and Netgear routers. Pretty solid. Needed to reset maybe 1-2x a year.

HBest, At best, my question may have been apples to oranges comparison. LOL Glad to know someone has experience w/Westell. I have no idea what att may send me in the end! Just wondering about what they say are "compatible." Concerned becuz there were no "normal" names. Hmm. TNX. UR2cents R worth the mint ATM. Good news. (btw, the order crashed! They did not like something......) I'll try again later this evening. Best, Duncan At 15:18 10/08/2007 -0400, you wrote: I use Verizon DSL and the modem they supplied was a Westell. (Don't have time at the moment to check model number) It has seemed a solid modem. Only twice in more that 3 years have I needed to unplug it and reboot it. I have used it with 3 different models of Netgear routers. (2 wired and one wired/wireless). May be comparing apples to oranges, but just putting my 2 cents in.
