Driver Router SpeedTouch 580
November 5th, 2006
This is one of the most commons search terms in Google for people who comes to my blog. In this week people have searched (among others):
- drivers router inalambrico speed touch wanadoo
- configurar speedtouch 580 linux
- drivers thompson speedtouch 580
- speedtouch 580 driver
I’ve never written about this before because there’s no driver to use, you simply don’t need any. A router is not a modem, a router is a machine in itself, and so, you only need to configure the communication between two machines, your computer and the computer named router SpeedTouch 580.
My router came with these default parameters:
- user: admin
- password: (en blanco)
- IP address: 192.168.0.1
You should read the manual to see the defaults for your router. I’ll assume that your router has the same IP as mine:
Attach an ethernet wire between your computer and the router. The ethernet port is the one marked in green.- Use an appropriate address in your computer (like 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0) and use the router address as default gateway.
- Linux:Open a root console and type
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 - Windows: Type the values in TCP/IP configuration under Network properties
- Mac: I don’t know.
- Linux:Open a root console and type
- Type in an internet browser the address of the router, 192.168.0.1, and use your user and password to access the router configuration page. Follow the instructions in the manual.
- If you have questions use the comments and I’ll try to solve them

En la interfaz web del router hay una parte de diagnósticos. Ahà puedes ver si es un problema de que el router no sincronice, de que el usuario y contraseña no sea aceptado, etc.
