Those modems update the firmware automatically. That modem could be as much as 10 years old. As for JTAG upgrade of firmware, you are making this way too hard and expensive. The Jtag is only part of the issue. You have to have an EEPROM flashing machine to connect the cable to and those are not cheap.

Problems with Motorola Surf SB5100

Have you tried unplugging the modem's power cord for at least a couple of minutes? If that doesn't work, have you called your ISP? The problem could be anything from a billing issue to an outage in your area, to a modem that needs to be replaced. Your internet service provider would be the best place to (try to) find help.

Need to get wireless on my laptop,

No, the SB5100 is just a cable modem, not a wireless router. You will need to keep your sb5100 but you will need to purchase a wireless router if you want wireless on your laptop. If you can also plug your laptop into the sb5100 via an ethernet cable for your internet connection. Linksys and Belkin and others make wireless routers that you can use for your wireless connections.

Can't connect Motorola sb5100 to a Linksys wrt54g

Make sure that you have the ethernet cord from your modem plugged into the WAN/Internet port on your router. Then unplug the power cord from your cable modem and plug it right back in. After the modem fully comes back online, unplug the power cord on the wireless router and plug it back in. wait 30 - 60 sec and then try and connect.

Most cable companies only allow one active"CPE" at a time for internet access. All this means is when you change what is connected to the cable modem you must always reboot the cable modem to allow access.


Hope this helps. Let me know if it does not work.

Have you rebooted your modem after hooking it up? Each time you move your connection from your modem, it must be rebooted to issue new information specific to your equipment. Also, make sure you haven't pushed the "Standby" button on the top.
