| If you are in Windows, hit the Start button, then select Run, hit enter, then type "cmd" (without quotes) and hit enter.
Once inside the command prompt, type ipconfig, and hit enter.
It should list the modem IP under "Default Gateway".

SW Ontario | You should be able to connect to the 6520 no matter what service you have.It's an internal web page.You got your pc set to obtain IP automatically? |

SW Ontario | If it's new it should not have any problem.Just plug in the 6520 to the laptop and try again.What IP did it give you for the gateway? |

This is what you need to find when you do get into it.Its under home network/advanced settings if bell allows that on yours.

Lol what the hell is that.Reset it using the pin hole on the bottom.Insert a paper clip or something and hold it till it flashes or whatever it does.About 5 or 10 seconds

| I have never reset one before since I never had to do so.If it's like others hold it in to flash red(?) then push it back in again for a few seconds.
That ip is different than the other.The first one is a bank system in Japan and this one is probably your cogeco IP since thats who it's registered to.
Unplug you modem from whatever you have it plugged into.Hook up the 6520 to the pc by ethernet all by itself.Reset the 6520 as per above then try the 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.254.254 if one of those does not work it wasn't reset properly. |

One thing that you can try is inserting »mynetwork in your address bar.
If that does not work, you can try resetting the tcp\ip of your computer by typing this command in the command prompt:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt (this step is not necessary if more than one computer has been tried)
One other thing you can try is to manually insert the default gateway (192.168.2.1 or which ever applies to the firmware you are using) in your connections settings to get access to the router.
If you get access to the firmware, if using the Bell one, I would suggest to put it in router only mode if its not what it is on the moment. This would be the second step in the initial setup after the router as been reset to the factory default. Choose the second radio point in option 2 (router only)than continue with the setup. |
