Speedstream 6520 in Bell Canada http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21173527 en Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:20:23 EDT Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:20:23 EDT Re: Speedstream 6520 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21218073 Glen1 : Let's back up here a for a minute and explain a couple of things. When you are asked for a 128 bit key or a network key you are setting up what is called an encryption key. All of the characters sent to the router are encrypted using the key...so each side has to understand how to decrypt the information. Choosing a common key between the two devices allows them to communicate properly. I suggested using a WPA-PSK key, and you can choose that option when you see the drop down box with either 64 bit or 128 bit Wep...instead of choosing the Wep type of key, use the drop down and choose WPA-PSK. Then another drop down asks you for either TKIP or AES and you can choose TKIP. Then it asks for a "pass phrase" or personal key to use. Pick something simple so you can remember it like the word: sweetpeas. There is a group policy timing box and I put 9999 in there...click next and then the router reboots. Now when you are asked for the network key in your notebook put in the word: sweetpeas. The two devices will be able to communicate using the key: sweetpeas.

The passphrase is then chosen by yourself...like "sweetpeas". Then the same passphrase is placed in the notebook security settings and then it should be able to connect. Don't use the standard Wep key security as it is very weak.

Not sure what you mean in the second post.Once wireless is enabled and you get the key and rebooted the modem your good to go.Anything else would need to be done on your pc.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21216587 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 21:39:44 EDT Re: Speedstream 6520 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21215341 anon : do you have like a guide that shows u how to setup wireless once you've gotten into the gateway??]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21215341 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 14:39:25 EDT Re: Speedstream 6520 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21211737 anon :

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.
when your settting up your wireless here what do you do at the passpharse?? do you type something and press generate? and when you are connecting to your wireless after you have done all that what is the network key the passpharse you set up??]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21211737 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:06:43 EDT Re: Speedstream 6520 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21209792 Bell_Sylvain :

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21205264 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:07:22 EDT Re: Speedstream 6520 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21194817 andyb : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21194817 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:09:20 EDT Re: Speedstream 6520 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21194037 anon : i reset it and it still say 216.121.128.1]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21194037 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 18:09:24 EDT Re: Speedstream 6520 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21194012 anon : yea i know i thought the ip was weird too so i gotta reset it? and im not using bell im using cogeco]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21194012 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 18:09:19 EDT Re: Speedstream 6520 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21193995 andyb :

its 126.121.128.1
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

Once inside the command prompt, type ipconfig, and hit enter.

It should list the modem IP under "Default Gateway".
