Re: No Longer can access Interface in the Speedstream 5200
I just bought a TP-Link TD-8816. It works great and it's only the half price as ST-516. I missed PCVonline's boxing day sale as $19.95 but got the boxing week's sale at $23.95.  |

| If you make a quick search on this forum, you will find TP-LINK modems also use broadcom chips, like in ST-516, which are thought to be good. ST-516 is for "geeky" person for its rich features as I observed. But I always use my modem in bridge mode, so a cheap but stable one is enough.

Manufacturing of a modem does not depend on the chipset it uses. Period.

| I am not clear about this "manufacturing" thing. But from my pre-purchase research and 8 days testing, it turns out to be good.
Mind giving more details how these two are manufactured? I am interested.

Well that which one do you recommend, I know nothing about modems, I am computer knowledgeable, but not with terminology. I am interested to know which one to buy though. I dont want to spend 100.00 on a modem. |
