It is PPPoE, I got on router I can see the external ip, but after a nmap scan it is secure tight . And to see the other configurations of the router I need the pass and username. I have a version of whoppix so I am going to try the metasploit and see what happen.

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.
