Re: SpeedStream 5260 My bad !! I wan to unbridge the modem so that I can use it just as a modem. The post »DSL FAQ »Getting into the SpeedStream 5260 tells how to unbridge the modem.
My problem is that I cannot get into the modem using the above post methods. If I understand the post correctly, when I unbridge the modem I can use the router to gain wi-fi. Hoook up would be destop-router-modem. |

Fort Lauderdale, FL | I don't think that FAQ section is fully accurate. And you are confused as to what a bridge is.
The mode you want is bridging - so that you can place a router behind it, and that's all this unit can do. There is no such thing as unbridging a device that is only a bridge.
As far as not being able to "get into the modem" either you don't know its IP address or there is no telnet capability in it to begin with. Try a browser, but if you don't know the unit's IP address, that's not going to work either. |

The FAQ is accurate, but it is missing vital info as it was taken "completely out of context" from this FAQ group »The Unofficial SpeedStream 5260 ---> 5660 FAQ and if you read the "Pending Feedback" at the bottom of the FAQ the OP posted, it shows that FAQ only applies to the Part Number 060-5660-00X Model 5260 which is in essence a hidden 5660 Router. If the OP has a real 5260 Part Number 060-5260-00X or 060-5262-00X or 060-5263-00X then those Models are truly Bridge/Modems only without any Router features or even IP Addresses.
Below is the correct FAQ section link for a true 5260/5262/5263 instead of the mis-used 5260/5660 Router Hybrid FAQ the OP linked to in error.
