Thanks GLC. Just a bit worried since it took me forever to get the modem and router to work together. What I did was turn the PC off and then hook up the modem and router in the normal configuration and powered them both on. With both of them powered and wired, I reset the modem and it automatically detected the netgear router and adjusted itself to be a bridge. This is what the tech at verizon told me and at first I thought he was just telling me that to get me off the phone. Surely enough it works, so the Westell 6100 modem has the ability to detect a configuration and adjust settings accordingly to either modem/router or just modem.

So, you see no probs leaving it just the way it is and forgeting about the bloat software from verizon?

Since the logon is stored in the modem what happens if I have to power cycle it or is it stored regardless of power?

Thanks for help
