I just take a hold of a TG852G and found out that it is configurable by any owner, it's not true that the settings are not accessable. I was able to change the SSID/shared keys, turn the wireless off and set the modem in bridge mode all by myself. It looks like the author of the article you posted didn't even try or is just full of it.
