Siemens Speedstream 6520 Firmware Update
I have been using a Siemens Speedstream 6520 for my DSL connection from Bell for over a year. I found that the options in the router's interface somewhat limited. It turns out Bell has crippled the interface, disabling many options, such as Dynamic DNS support. I couldn't find a Siemens original firmware to upload but I found a solution.Apparently, the options are still there, but Bell used a different home page hiding these options. All you need is some HTML magic.Download these, extract them to any folder and edit them. Both show router IP as 192.168.2.1, edit it to match your router.
Then open index.htm via IE, Firefox, or your favorite web browser and voila. You'll see whole option list on the left side.As a test, I enabled Dynamic DNS support and it worked like a charm. Happy surfing:)Posted 7/12/2007 3:00:00 AM @ 09:45:00 Comments.

I don't know if this the correct way to ask for help here but at this piont I will try anything. I have been fighting with Bell for about 3 weeks about my Internet going up and down. I currently have a Speedstream 6520 and I have been saving the log files from the Route and trying like hell to get someone at Bell just to look at them and tell me what if they can shed any light on the problem.How could I attach a save log file so someone could look at it for me.
Many Thanks.Posted by Brent Moore on 1/21/2008 3:00:00 AM. Yes, I tried but couldn't find the Modem Status.I need something like thisModem StatusConnection Status ConnectedUs Rate (Kbps) 512Ds Rate (Kbps) 5056US Margin 6DS Margin 24Trained Modulation ADSLG.dmtLOS Errors 0DS Line Attenuation 5US Line Attenuation 20Peak Cell Rate 1207 cells per secCRC Rx Fast 0CRC Tx Fast 0CRC Rx Interleaved 0CRC Tx Interleaved 4Path Mode Interleavedwhen people talk about their modem status they always post their status like that.Thanks AgainPosted by BigD on 4/18/2008 3:00:00 AM. If u want to get rid of ur Bell Sympatico settings and unlock your SpeedStream 6520 to use it with a other DSL internet provider. Download a firmware from there:to directly download the filehad a error @ the end of the installation of the firmware.
But it still worked for me. I closed the error window and and logged to the router Ip and the Bell Sympatico interface was gone i entered my new settings of the new provider(Acanac) and it worked.Posted by X on 4/18/2008 3:00:00 AM.
I hope this note will help save someone else some time:Have speedstream 6520. After firmware update from: after firmware update, could no longer connect to my isp.Followed instructions here: on the internet!Detailed notes:I'm in Toronto, ON, Canada, so I should have guessed that firmware from NZ or Australia might cause me some problems. Turns out that after the firmware update, the default virtual circuit settings (for establishing the PPPoE connection) were values that my ISP was not expecting. Specifically, VCI was set to 8, which my isp was expecting to be 0.Why did I upgrade firmware?speedstream 6520 was originally provided by Bell, when I switched isps, they never asked for it back, so I continued using it with my new isp (teksavvy). After 15 months of use, I started randomly being redirected to a bell page saying my username was invalid.
I called my isp to ask about this, they said that it was the router that was actually doing the redirect - this must have been some subroutine in the firmware that just never kicked in before. I upgraded to the firmware above to knock out this frustrating redirect behaviour.Phew! Hope that helps.Posted by w.g.
On 3:00:00 AM. Hi Guys,I desperately want to set up my Speedstream 6520 as a wirelessbridge and came across your forum answer that you have set it up as asa bridge by changing the IP to 10.0.0.1.
Here is my scenario pleasetell me if your system means the router can do this:I have two routersi have a wireless network on the first level of my house sent out by router1i have an xbox/VOIP telephone on the SECOND LEVEL of my housei want router2 the SPEEDSTREAM 6520 to receive the signal from router1and repeat it so i can connect the xbox to the 6520 via the ethernetportsany ideas on how i can do this??Thanks,izadPosted by Izad on 3:00:00 AM. Hello there,Thank you for the lovely method on editing everything you uploaded to work around the router. I am currently having a problem, and that is in the editing process. I am very unexperienced at HTML, I barely know some things. I just wanted to know how the process works exactly. I wanted to know what files to edit, and how it is supposed to happen.
I entered the IP for the router in the NAV file, and saved it. Nothing happened after that, as I still can't get the extra options on my router. I would really appreciate the help, thank you.MoePosted by Moe on 1/10/2009 3:00:00 AM. For example, if your router's IP is 10.0.0.1You need to edit:In index.htm toAnd edit nav.htmvar ip = '192.168.2.1'; // Put the IP address of your router hereTovar ip = '10.0.0.1'; // Put the IP address of your router hereYou can find your router IP by going to command prompt (Start Menu - Run - type in cmd, click ok) and entering ipconfig at the command prompt. Default Gateway should point to your router's IP.Posted by Sems on 1/13/2009 3:00:00 AM. Hello,I have a Siemens 6520 Speedstream modem supplied by Bell Sympatico. The Part number on the device is 060-N651-A15 and Firmware Part Number is 004-E752-AG7.My question is related to the Firewall that comes with the 6520 and if it is enabled by Bell Sympatico by default.As noted above, Bell Sympatico hides some of the menu items are are available to the end user, which include the Firewall setting.
When I first loaded the HTML files and selected Firewall Level it was set to OFF. Does this mean that the Firewall has been turned OFF all this time? Is this the default setting for Bell Sympatico supplied 6520s?I tried called Bell Symmpatico technical support and they first indicated that I needed to set the DMZ in order to turn the firewall on. (Yea Right!) Then the supervisor came on the call to indicate that the 6520 did not come with a Firewall. This could be more believable if they have turned the Firewall off by default?But then I called sales about their Home Networking Package which includes 'security services'.
Once they knew I had a 6520, they indicated that device already has a Firewall and it is on by default.So you can understand my confusion since even Bell Sympatico Helpless Desk does not even know their own products.Confused 6520 owner.Posted by Chris on 3/16/2009 3:00:00 AM. Chris, follow the instruction from w.g. Download the firmware, go to the other forum thread and add Bell's ATM circuit config. Got everything working without a problem. You can only update the modem's firmware via ethernet cable connection. After updating the firmware, the default modem/router ip is 192.168.254.254 instead of Bells 192.168.2.1.As I am also new to this 'old' modem, I see that it only supports WPA-TKIP, not WPA-AES (more secure). Also I am not sure how good is it's firewall capabilities.

Chris, it has been long time since I got rid of Bell's DSL, but if it said firewall is off, then firewall was off all that time. During the programming of the router, something could have messed up at Bell's end, who knows.Xs, from my DSL experience, I found the best option is to use the modem as a modem and then use a router connected to it, such as a Linksys, for firewall and other options. I don't recall what was the procedure, but you can switch a DSL modem into 'bridged mode' and let the router do the routing/connecting to dsl, etc.Kwiz, most of the time first thing to do is to disable all wireless security during testing and see if that works. Then you can set a WEP or better WPA key to protect it.
I highly recommend reading the modem's user guide/manual.Posted by Sems on 4/18/2009 3:00:00 AM. Hi, i am in Australia and i want to upgrade my 6250 modem to be able to connect on adsl2.ive checked out ive noticed that theres two drivers for the modem. Do i update the 6250 driver or do i just update the Modem 6520 ADSL2 Firmware? Or do i do both, and if so, which one do i do first? Having heard that i might not be able to connect to the internet again if i mess this up, i wanna get this right first time round.:Dany help would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksPosted by Francis on 7/7/2009 3:00:00 AM. Has anyone ever had what seems to be a limit to the number of wireless connections on this modem/router?I can't get more than two of my wireless computers going at one time. I have 3 computers with wireless cards, and I have successfully connected all of them to the wireless network at different times, but never more than two at one time. The third one to try and connect always fails and can't connect unless one of the other two computers is turned off or goes to sleep.Posted by jaymitt on 7/21/2009 3:00:00 AM.
