I have a Westwell 327e15-06 router, I porchased a netgear wireless N router. However I can't get the netgear to work. The troubleshooting says i need to bridge it. Can someone help me?
Since you have two routers, both of them are trying to assing DHCP address to the network, so all you need to do is just disable DHCP on the netgear router, there fore the westell will assing the address.
Are you just trying to use the netgear for wireless?

A wireless switch should be possible, try disabling its DHCP service and rely on your internet source for handing IPs to computers. this way your NetGear router is more of a switch than a router. of course, a wire connection between your Netgear router and the internet source is a must.
you need a wireless ethernet bridge(like wet54g/wet610n) which will grab signals wirelessly from u're primary router wrt54g,& then a ethernet cable from wireless bridge will be connected to one of the lan port of u'rs netgear router(otherwise u will not be able to do file & printer sharing between 2 routers)Remember,the ip address of all 3 devices shold be of same class.
I'll take a stab at this. It's a bit difficult because I don't know what your level of expertise is. You're actually using the Netgear wireless ROUTER not a bridge. Your ISP can use a couple of methods to give you service. DSL companies like Verizon probably use PPPoE which require you to login and provide a password and VZ is notorious for closing down port 25.
O.K. Did I mention I don't like them very much? Anyway, I'm going to give you a link to Netgear's excellent web site for configuring a router and the XBOX connection. This is the whole list of v6 compatible instructions. Note the very bottom link to use Netgear routers with XBOX.
Note under the Troubleshooting topic that there is a configuration and two setup files, depending on what you're connecting to, and some tips on what to do if it doesn't work.
usually to bridge you would need, effectively , 2 extra access points to set as the bridges, they then connect to the other routers, allowing communication between the 2.
I do know 2wire is slightly different but you would still need something to act as a bridge on the netgear end.
I still don't understand why you need both routers running. Connect both your computers to the same router which has the internet connection.
