I would assume the D-Link would work fine.

 

About the router on the modem. I don't know. It only has 1 rj45 jack. I read
that for the Linksys to work with the Westell 6100 "DSL2+Router", DHCP would
have to be disabled on the Linksys. I tried it at first, but nothing worked.
So as it is set up right now, all services are enabled on the Linksys and
everything works fine. I don't know how to change the settings on the
Westell. Maybe the router services built into the 6100 is disabled by
default? The 6100 that just says "DSL Modem" is connected to the Netgear and
has been working great.

Oops! missed the link to Linksys and Netgear "routers."  
That is what I am attempting to get to.

I have a D-Link Router....................... :)
Would you suppose Westell works well with D-Link?

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

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.

Hbest
