All Westell and ActionTec modems that are being shipped to customers now have a factory setting ENABLED by default known as Walled Garden. Walled Garden causes a no route situation (unable to connect to the internet or surf) within the modem in order to force registration via the Web Based Activation site. In order for you to route (or connect to the internet or surf) with these modems, Walled Garden must be turned off or disabled. For new customers this can be accomplished by completing the WBA activation website.

For the Westell 327 and 6100 Modems use »192.168.1.1/verizon/redirect.htm.

For the Actiontec Gateway use »192.168.1.1/verizon/redirect

Click DISABLE and personalize your modem’s user settings. It is advisable that you change the password to “admin”. Turn OFF your modem for 30 seconds.
