Efficient Networks SpeedStream 5200 Modem Logo

Anonymous Posted on Aug 02, 2017

For about 3 and a half years I've been having trouble connecting to most game servers. Recently I've gotten hooked on minecraft and I believe my modem is preventing me from joining and/or hosting a server. I've tried port forwarding but when I check if any port is open on my portforward.com file it says its not open. I also have a Linksys WRT54G router, but I doubt its causing the problem. PLEASE HELP!

    Why would you think the LInksys WRT54G would not be the problem? This is a router as well!

    Because I've tested it without the router.

    So, you're saying that it doesn't work with the Linksys and doesn't work without the Linksys?

    Correct. I ordered a new modem from my isp which should be here tomorrow or Thursday.

SOURCE: I have access denied to my 5200

i assume you can enter the correct username and password.
if not and you don't have any idea what the password could be other than standard ones like 1234, 0000, admin you got to reset your router.

if you do know your password and username you probably have a high internet security settings and/or problems with accepting cookies. Try adding the address 192.168.2.1 to safe websites in your internet explorer settings.

Thank you for using FixYa

I am going to attempt and I say attempt to give you a solution. After much research I find that this issue has come up before since about 2003 on those series of modems. I found one solid reference that solved the issue. Their solution was to set the modem to Bridge and do the port fowarding in the Linksys router. I do not know if this will help you in your setup but it is at least worth the suggestion. I am sure your Speedstream is out of warranty by now and you are unable to get back to the supplier, who may have other suggestions. Those modems have come through an evolution of updates as you might have guessed and the solution may be getting another kind.


I hope this was useful and please comment if this was helpful to you.

How to play minecraft

Minecraft is and easy but challenging game to play. First thing you will need to do is buy the game or try the demo at www.minecraft.net. Once install open up the game and choose the type of game you would like to play. If survival mode you want to build a house or tunnel to hide in at night so the ghouls don't kill you. Minecraft is a game of crafting and building pretty much any structure you can imagine. You can also join someone else's server by finding the ip their server is hosted on!

Can this model play minecraft? I keep getting a black screen

It is graphics related. The graphics card is not compatible with Minecraft, from what I can tell. I believe the Toshiba is running an Intel integrated card and Minecraft is looking for an ATI or NVIDIA.

Hope this helps
