Re: Difference between 4100 and 5100

Ok, have the 5100B, but not the 4100 yet (will arrive in the mail in a couple of days from AT&T).

So as far as I understand, it really does not matter, these are basically the same modem.

Thanks for the help/info!

If you are provisioned for ADSL2 or ADSL2+ it very well could matter as no one has posted the modes a SBC 5100b supports for checking/validation. The 5100b hardware (AR7 chipset) may support it, but the SBC firmware may not explaining why the 5100 (all versions) is obsoleted and not available from SBC/AT&T or even Siemens anymore.

You would then only be able to use the 4100 to connect as it does support ADSL2 and ADSL2+ in Firmware and Hardware.

Regards,

Doctor Olds
