The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Reset Speedstream 5200 to Access Web Interface

Asked by CooperRiis in DSL Lines / Cable Internet, Computer Modems, Broadband Internet

Tags: 5200, speedstream, windstream, reset

Hello Folks,
I have a couple of Speedstream 5200's that I need to access the web interface to change the VPI/VCI.

I have followed the reset and web access instructions to no avail.

Here is what i have done:  push and hold the reset switch till power LED blinks red once. Continue holding reset till power blinks alternate red/green for approx 4 seconds ( I let it blink red 3 to 4 times.). At this point modem reboots (all lights light and then goes back to standard power and ethernet light only.

From what I understand it should be reset to factory default at this point with an IP of 192.168.254.254.

With modem plugged directly to laptop via cat5 ( no DSl line) I set my IP config in the laptop to an IP addy of 192.168.254.100, mask 255.255.255.0, and gateway of the modem, 192.168.254.254.

I then try to log into web interface via MS Internet Explorer using http://192.168.254.254. I get page cannot be displayed. I have also tried http://speedstream with no success.

I know these modems have web interface as I have been in them before. A Windstream tech talked me through it once before awhile back. I don't recall if there is a special trick to accessing it. It should be straight forward as that is how I have accessed many other modems/routers in the past.

I did not have a DSl line plugged in to the modem during these attempts, I did when the Windstream tech talked me into it. But I don't see why that would be necessary for accessing the interface.

What I need to be able to do is to try and change the VCI and VPI settings of the modem.

If anyone knows a way of doing this without getting to the web interface, that would be fine.

Thanks very much or any assistance!
