Westel 2200-15 Modem (Router?)

Post by buzzmag »

Just replaced my dying B90 Westell with their 2200-15 Verizon version on my home computer. No network or any other computers in the system.

Is there any advantage to setting it up as a router if it's used on a stand alone computer?

If yes, how do I set it up as a router?
