Re: Difference between 4100 and 5100

I think the 4100 and 5100b use a newer better chip set than the 5100a. I'm not aware of any important functional difference between the 5100b (SBC version) and the 4100 (SBC version).

Correct. The 5100b and the 4100 (SBC versions) use the AR7 chipset while the 5100a uses the obsolete AR5 chipset.

You can test the actual units if you have a 5100b and a 4100 (SBC versions) to work with. It will tell you in Telnet what modes are actually supported.

The command is:
cfg dsl{mode

The options returned could include these.

mult
ansi
dmt
lite
dsl2
auto
ds2p
red2
naam
emt

For example a 6520 Wireless Gateway returns this output:

cfg dsl{mode

: mode = auto [mult,ansi,dmt,lite,dsl2,auto,ds2p,red2,naam,emt]

My 5100 Router with the AR5 chipset shows:

login: admin
password:
User logged in
xsh> cfg dsl{mode
mode = mult [mult,ansi,dmt,lite,emt]
xsh>

Regards,

Doctor Olds
