Solved: Wiress connection with Verizon DSL (Westell 6100) and Pepwave signal booster?

[centsster]

I'm just having such a difficult time learning about networking so wanted to ask.

I've bought Pepwave AP 200 to connect to citi-wifi service, but it was too weak for my needs. So, I ended up re-ordering Verizon DSL. I kept my modem, which is Westell 6100 (E90-610015-06, Rev. E) .

I spoke to techsupport at Verizon, and was told that I should buy a router if I want to use laptop wireless. Is there any way I can make these two work so I don't have to have ethernet cable connected all the time?? The Pepwave AP200 has only one LAN port, so the techsupport said it looks impossible. From what I know, it is not a "classic router," but I am not really sure. These links shows what the configuration screen looks like:

Is it possible?

I have a feeling that this unit is somewhat specialized. It appears that it's WAN port is the wireless, and there doesn't seem to be a way to change that.

I'd bite the bullet and pick up a standard wireless router, they're actually pretty cheap if you shop around.

Oops, I forgot to say thank you. For giving me links as well Urgh... yeah, it looks like I'll have to get another router.
