I recently bought a EN Speedstream 5861 DSL Modem/Router on Ebay. All LED's indicate that router has started successfully. I think that the router's default ip address was changed because it will connect through Configuration Manager. I tried connecting by telnet. It connects buts no login prompt or routerinformation is displayed. I tried using all available COM ports but I get the same thing. Am I telnetting into the router correctly?

I have had similar issues with other modems. What I did was reset the ip address. You can do this by:
connecting the modem to a Comport.
opening a command window.
enter: arp -a xxx.xx.xx.xxx(new ip) xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx(mac address)
The mac address can be found on your modem.(it may not be in the above format, but be sure to type it in as such).
Now you should have reset the IP and should be able to telnet in.
A few other things you could try:
1. Reset the Router to factory default ip by holding down the reset button on the router for at least 30 seconds. The power cycle it.
2. After resetting, try as zdkev suggested however, if you don't get a prompt for login or anything you need to change your Internet Explorer settings. Go to Tools->Internet Settings->Security-> Select Custom Settings then change the level to 'low' and hit Reset. Then try connectinging to the router.
Good luck!

Try using your browser. Type in the ip address of the router in your browser and it will bring up the router GUI interface. You can change the settings from there.
