Modem Turned Router

Yes, with all the high-tech equipment we have everywhere for all our equally high-tech digital information needs, it's no question why most of us try to know at least something out of everything all at the same time! We learn tweaks in an instant, specifically when there's available information from the internet or from a damn good book. But I guess you didn't know what I have found out while browsing through the world wide web! Yes, turning an ADSL modem, specifically the SpeedStream 5200 into a fully functional router! No need for magical prowess, nor a lifetime practice of an intensive spiritual lifestyle, just the ability to read and understand what has been read are the things to have and do.

Now a SpeedStream 5200 ADSL modem is just like any broadband modem out there in the market. It has firmware, and of course, from time to time, updates are being done for each hardware version. A firmware update is then made available from the manufacturer's website. So the only thing you have to do here is download the latest firmware update for your SpeedStream 5200 ADSL 5200 broadband modem. Miraculously, after doing so, your broadban modem would have turned into a functional router by then! Why is it a good thing to do such a thing? For your networking needs, buying a router would even require you to acquire an additional computer as well. With this hardware tweak, all you'll ever need is a computer with a SpeedStream 5200 broadband modem turned router, a network of computers, an internet connection, and you're off to networking land in no time! Money and time - perhaps two of the most viable reasons in the world!
