Overview

Verizon Westell Versalink 7500

• "U65L006", "800215", "GP" is silkscreened on the board.

The default SSID is the serial number. A sample serial number is 11FX05091328

(11FXxxxxxxxx is one likely pattern, some devices may use other variants).

• on dd-wrt.com

A90-750045-07 is an edition of the 7500 (as opposed to the 7501).

The first 4 digits after A90 specify the board model, the two digits

after that is the market (ISP) the router is being used / distributed by.

Westell isn't specifying what ISP 750045 is for.

So, A90-750045 should be equivalent to the Verizon Westell Versalink 7500

with model A90-750015. Last 2 digits would believe to be the version.
