Hi,

I wanted to change my SSID on my Wireless Router/Modem.

I don't remember my Username nor Password to log on, I've tried admin / admin - that has failed.

Do I need to get the Software, if so, where can I find it for the Siemens SpeedStream 6520.

I'm currently on the phone with my ISP, as the modem was offered by them, Tech Agent doesn't seem confident so far.

Thanks in advance.

Can't you just reset the modem so the password will become admin/admin?

Do people not even know what google or yahoo or freaking microsofts live search is??? You might want to suggest that to their tech support ;) Or how about just looking on the makers FAQ site ;)

6520 Modem

1. Turn the modem on. Wait until the modem has stopped booting up and the power light goes solid green.

2. Insert a small tipped object (pen tip or a pin will do) into the hole at the bottom of the modem labelled ‘reset’. You may need to hold this in for a couple of seconds before the reset is initiated. You will know when to let go of the reset hole when the power light starts blinking red/green. Remove the small tipped object. All the lights on the front on the modem should flash green and then red then the modem should start to boot as per normal.

3. Once the power light is on solid the modem should be restored to factory defaults.

Speedstream 6520 reset problems

The secret is to NOT wait for the lights to stop flashing

Hold the reset in until the power light starts flashing

While it is still flashing, let go of the reset switch

When you say, reset - are your referring to just simply turning the modem off then back on?

Because my Modem/Router does not have a "Reset" button.

Thanks.

Like everybody else has said, what I forgot to tell you when resetting it is look for a small pinhole area and press it with a paperclip and hold for about 20 seconds.

I can't believe why a representative isn't able to help you, isn't that like entry level questions?

    • Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.
