Re: Difference between 4100 and 5100

Found this thread: »Have both SS 5100a and SS 4100, which is better to use?

Where Doctor Olds states that newer is better, i.e. one should choose the 4100 over the 5100.

(Could not reply to the old thread, apparently it was too old....)
That's a great feature. The posting rules actually state 2 weeks is the limit for an old post to no longer be replied to unless you are the topic starter.

As the reason he states better support for newer DSL standards. But as far as I can see, these standards that are supported in the newer 4100 is also supported in the 5100 (G.lite and full-rate ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+ and RE-ADSL).
The answer I posted is factually correct for the 5100a and the 5100a does not support those extra standards.

See the specs for the 5100: »subscriber.communications.siemen···00.shtml

Or is it as simple as the SBC/AT&T version being crippled on these?
Where do you see the specs for the SBC 5100a? Both the chipset and the firmware is crippled.

Regards,

Doctor Olds

1 edit		 Was never doubting you facts Doctor Olds. You have been a great help to me and lots of other people in here for a long time!

I just now realise that the original thread was for the 5100a, and I have the 5100B. So, then again (rephrased), what is the difference between the 5100B and the 4100, and which one is the preferred choice (SBC versions)?

Did not know that it was crippled in HW, thought it was FW only, guess they made a cheaper version of it then....
