The ISP is optimum. I did not set up the 5101, I bought it from some guy and it worked magically ever since I purchased this 5101 5 years ago, it's been working without any problem. Then I decided to upgrade this 5101 haxorware modem to SB6141 forceware . But the problem is gateways like 192.168.100.1 or something like that could not allow me to log in to this 5101 modem. Therefore, I couldn't download the config file from 5101. With that being said, even if I can't set up this 6141, I still have the internet to use.

Hey, I was thinking the same thing as you and I purchased this sb6141 forceware which is still causing me a headache to this day.

A cousin of mine still had an sb4100 activated and was paying for it monthly for the subscription. Crazy. Not until he called the ISP and asked for an upgrade did they swap it out.
