I believe the Westell Wirespeed is a Globespan chipset based device. The 
default username/password for the Westell Wirespeed is username: admin 
password: password but this is a common combo for default settings on various 
wireless devices. Hopefully the default password was changed :)

Though a quick google search didn't find any obvious exploits bear in mind that 
the Westell uses PPPoE for admin connections by default (this can be changed). 
Though I was unable to pick up any specific information on what PPPoE code is 
incorporated into the Westell firmware there are exploits possible in certain 
PPPoE packages that the device may be vulnerable to. Your best bet aside from 
the usual misconfiguration/open port testing might be to test against the PPPoE 
stack with Metasploit or similar tools.
