Westell 2200 DSL Modem Advanced Setup

If you have a special network setup and you would like to configure the Westell 2200 so it does not do Network Address Translation or DHCP, please follow these instructions.

NOTE: Some versions of the Westell 2200 require that the DSL phone line be plugged into the modem before you can proceed with making this change.

• Connect a computer directly to the modem
• Reset the modem by holding the reset button (next to the ethernet port) until the DSL light starts flashing
• Open a web browser and go to this address http://192.168.1.1
• Login with the following:
  • User ID: admin
  • Password: password

• Change the Administration Name and Password

• Click OK when prompted for confirmation
• Click next

• Enter the current User ID and Password from step 4

• Click next

• Click next

• When asked if you would like the modem to be reset now, click OK
• The screen will indicate that the modem is reseting and will reload

• Click Configuration, then click DHCP Configuration

• Set DHCP Server to "Off"
