Topic: Siemens Gigaset SX553 WLAN DSL / ARV4520JW-B-90A Board Support?

Hi,
i have this pretty old Router. Well, i think the old Gigaset is much better than the cheap and branded Fritz/Box Fon WLAN 7112. But the firmware hasn't been updated for years.

At least i came here as it seems that there is no support for this router, neither in OpenWRT nor in it's derivates. So, how can i help? I use Debian Squeeze but i don't have experiance in OpenWRT yet.

Regards,
Andi

Hi !

I am in same situation here, looking for a firmware upgrade.

A couple of challenges i face is
- I need Hub/router mode facility (while using external modem), currently i believe only bridge mode is supported.
- I cannot use SIP when the router is used with external modem,I don't even know if SIP is even functional.
   As i cannot test it out, I am always restricted to use an seperate external modem.

The discussion might have continued from here.
