Question I have a wired/wireless (versalink 327) router it's wired caue I like wired networds. But I wonder if it is transmitting and capable of recieving traffic. Anyone?

Most wired/wireless routers have a provision to turn off the wired side of things. When I bought my wireless router, I didn't have any wireless cards, but I knew I was going to be getting a couple, so I went ahead and got the wired/wireless Linksys. I had the wireless turned off until I actually needed it.

I'm not familiar with the Westell equipment. I would automatically assume the worst. See if you can disable the wireless portion, since you aren't even using it. I use a separate Access Point for wireless, connected to one port of my hard-wired router. A quick way to test your system is to borrow a laptop from someone you know who has wireless and try it.

Look on the front of your unit. If it's the one I'm thinking of, one of the LEDs shows wireless on/off. To turn it off, you need to access the unit through your internet browser. You do this by entering the following URL: 192.168.1.1 (no "www"). You may be prompted for a username and password. If you have already set up the unit with your DSL provider, this will likely be the username and password you use with that provider. If not, the default username/password is admin/password.
