Enter admin for both the username and password. Those are the default values.

Hint: If your ISP has changed it, then only a reset will remove it on the Web Interface. Reset instructions are located only in the User Guide.

»Efficient Networks Forum FAQ »Where can I find the 5200 Router User Guide (v2.1)?

Note: Don't confuse the Web Interface Login Username/Password with a ISP Customized Admin Username/Password for the configuration since that is not the same. If your ISP has set that up in your Modem/Router then you must request the Username/Password from them as a reset doesn't change that.

Yes, indeed. The details and instructions are HERE if you want to write port forwarding rules. Thanks to MajorGrubert

There is an easier process below.

Note: On some 5200 versions you can just turn off the firewall (at your own slight to no risk - see below).

Updated Details: Even with the 5200 Firewall Off you will still be protected as it's not really Off, but it allows Ping and Tracert (Trace Route) to work. Use it when you run Tracert (Trace Route), Pings, Doctor Ping, Tweak Tester and Line Quality Tests by toggling it to Off and when finished, put it back on Low if you feel the need, but you will be pleasantly surprised at the results while Off.

Firewall and Tweak Test links to verify the information posted is correct.

Port-scan Local at BBR
Slow Scan Local at BBR

It is normally set with an engineering Username and Password that has never been released. There are a few 5200s (depending on the Firmware) that use the Telco's name as the Username and Password also, but this doesn't matter now that a BBR Member has written a utility that allows you to set the FTP Username and Password to your liking using SNAP. You can read about it HERE and also download it. Development info on the utility plus a few Telnet commands are HERE. Thanks to ICGabe.

The utility is available from this web site.

Note: Also is reported to work with the 5100 Speedstream.

The background details are posted HERE. Thanks to buggage.

Updated info from HERE thanks to 420br:

Links to override the 3 hidden default profiles [admin, telnet and ftp, default profiles]. The first two can use the same username and password, but the third must be different.

Example:
•Profile 0 = admin/admin
•Profile 1 = admin/admin
•Profile 2 = admin1/admin1

admin:
»192.168.254.254/pfwizardj.cgi?co···retain=f

telnet:
»192.168.254.254/pfwizardj.cgi?co···retain=f

ftp:
»192.168.254.254/pfwizardj.cgi?co···retain=f

NOTE: When asked for the IP address to use (so you can overwrite the 3 default hidden profiles) use 192.168.254.254 and that way you replace (overwrite) the crippled menues originally at 192.168.254.254 with your fully opened menues. If your LAN IP is not 192.168.254.254, you *must* change it first (and your DHCP range too) and then follow the steps above.

DISCLAIMER: Frontier is not responsible for investigating the appropriate ports to forward for any given application, configuring the modem, or the functionality of applications after port forwarding has been enabled.

1) Using your web browser, launch the router's web management interface located at »192.168.254.254 and login with the appropriate username and password.

2) Click [Setup] on the left-hand side of the page

3) Click [Port Forwarding] on the left-hand side of the page

4) Under Add/Edit entry, select either the service or protocol and TCP/UDP ports, whichever is applicable to your situation. If you select 'protocol and TCP/UDP ports', be sure to enter the appropriate range of port numbers for your situation.

5) Select either 'redirect selected protocol / service to this router' or 'redirect selected protocol / service to IP address', whichever is applicable to your situation. If you select 'redirect selected protocol / service to IP address', be sure to enter the appropriate IP address for your situation.

6) Click 'Apply'

At the link[s] below:

Read Alltel's page here »www.alltel.net/downloads/dsldownloads.html before beginning the process:

Note: Alltel removed the 5200 Firmware info from that page so in order to see it you will have to look at this archived page instead:
»web.archive.org/web/200410140531···ads.html

Speedstream 5200 Firmware Update Instructions Alltel notes: "The update is to be used with 5200 SpeedStream modems received after June 1, 2004."

Filename = Update_E240_A50_78-52_6100_78-60_v1r.exe = Size 1.34MB

Speedstream 5200 Firmware Upgrade Instructions Alltel notes: "This is for 5200 SpeedStream modems received before June 1, 2004."

Note: This turns the older 5200 Alltel shipped as a Bridge into a Full Router. Only available to Alltel.net customers since it requires a special Activation Key Code (This code must be obtained by contacting Alltel's Internet Helpdesk).
