Not sure what you are looking for.  More flexible modem, gigabit router, Wireless-n, wireless-ac?

Westell used to make some of the best DSL gear (not sure where the 327w was in their lineup).  But they seemed to have left the market on such products.  I know they sold most  of their consumer stuff to Netgear.

Looking for a modem/router with better speed and range for multiple wireless devices.

Having to reset my 327W quite often these days and range is limited.

I used to have a Westell 327W that VZ had prvided me when I first got DSL. 

When the 327W went bad I got VZ to send me a new Westell 7500, for a few extra dollars a month.  I have had no complaints about the 7500.  It just works.

I don't think you can buy a 7500 new from anybody but VZ. Did you get  your existing 327W  from VZ?

The 7500 has four ethernet ports and a wireless with range of about 200 feet.
