I need an owners manual for a siemens speedstream 6520 as i just got one and want to try building my own network ( i and a electronics engneer ) and am trying to teach myself IT thank you for your time

do resetting the router, and reinstall again the network adapter on your laptop.

hope this helps

Dear yohwayne

I am afraid that there are incompatibilities between speedstream 6520 and Voip service. I will need to look at this a little bit further but I think the only workaround is a firmware update. (modified version of the original)

This router is designed to be connected to your computer . Your drives are also connected to your computer. But you can set up a LAN to access your other computers and/ or drives on a network

speedstream is a modem/routerwirless unit. you can't connect a modem to a modem. use either one not both.

sound like you have password encrypted on the SSID???
try to connect w/o any encryption. if it connect then assign a simple password, and increase complexity

hi there... normally you get the Key number .. on the back of the router.. its would be a WEP key or WAP key.

Yes.Get rid of it.I have a Satellite also and do agree configuration was dodgy at first but the range in Wi-fi was not even 50 ft. as opposed the 100 ft. promised.But finally,after it shorted out my dial tone like most other 6520's I just went back to my trusty speedstream 4100.Good-luck.

um not sure, but if you have the disk that came with your router run it and fill in the wireless wizard. Also, on my 6520 the "wireless" led doesnt light up unless i have a device connected that is wireless. Your laptop may be incorrectly setup

Heres what I would do. Plug the speeedstream in, reboot the computer. Now we need to find your "Default Gateway" (the IP address of your speedstream). In windows XP:
Click Start
Click RUN
type CMD
type IPCONFIG (enter)

you will now have some information on your screen, look for the "default gateway" Enter this number in the address bar and you should be directed toward the speedstream configuration page.



(If its anything like the Speedstreem 6520 you will go to the "Home Network" option and then you will see wireless.)

Hope this helps!
