Following is a non-exhaustive list of existing SpeedTouch models:
SpeedTouch HomeA modem which provides bridged and PPTP connections for Internet connectivity. The modem uses an
Ethernet cable to connect to a PC, or may be connected to a
router that supports PPPoE.
Speedtouch ProSame as the SpeedTouch Home, but with added
Point-to-Point Protocol and basic NAT (Network Address Translation) functionality.
SpeedTouch USB and SpeedTouch 330A basic ADSL USB modem, without router features and capable of speeds up to 1Mbit up and 7Mbit down. Due to its USB connection it requires drivers to work and is currently not supported well on
Linux and not at all on
intel-powered Macs or on
Windows 95 and earlier.
SpeedTouch PCA PCI extension card ADSL modem. This modem is more or less obsolete and has never been distributed in large numbers.
TG508A single ethernet port ADSL2+ gateway with built in
firewall.
ST510 1/4 ports /ST530(+USB)Widely distributed ADSL modems with built in NAT router, firewall and UPnP. The ST510 is available with either 1 or 4 Ethernet ports. The ST530 only provides 1 Ethernet socket, but can also be connected through USB.
ST516The first ADSL2+ modem in the SpeedTouch line-up. As with the ST510, this modem has a built in NAT router, firewall and UPnP. Firmware versions R5.3 and up also provide functionalities such as ALG (Application Layer Gateway) for VPN connections, remote management of the webinterface and
Dynamic DNS. The middle number in the model number "5x6" indicates the number of Ethernet ports available on the modem. Firmware version 6.2.29.2 does not support PPTP (or GRE forwarding) when the ST516 is used in router mode.
ST536A single ethernet and single USB port gateway with built in firewall.
ST546A four ethernet port gateway with built in firewall.
TG605A four ethernet port gateway with built in firewall designed for business use, VLAN support and remote management.
ST610 / ST610i / ST610s / ST610vA line of business DSL routers launched in 2003, with optional IPSec and SIP support activated by software keys. Fixed WAN options are ADSL over POTS (ST610), ADSL over ISDN (ST610i), SHDSL (ST610s) and VDSL (ST610v). They are available either with a 4-port 10/100 LAN switch, or with an ATMF-25 LAN or WAN interface (except the 610v)
TG185A device that adds wireless transmission capabilities to an existing modem though an ethernet connection.
ST570The first wireless modem in the SpeedTouch line. The ST570 features 802.11b wireless networking (11 Mbit/s) and can be secured using WEP and
MAC filtering. The ST570 has 1 Ethernet port.
ST580A more advanced wireless modem. The ST580 has 802.11g wireless networking and can be secured with WPA encryption.
TG582The TG582 was introduced in 2010 and offers four ethernet ports and wireless, plus TR-691 capabilities for remote access and management.
ST585Similar to the 580, but with added ADSL2+ support and better WPA encryption. Four ethernet ports and wireless antennae. Widely distributed by Tiscali, O2, AOL and PlusNet in the UK. O2 rebrands this as "O2 Wireless Box II", and O2's BeThere subsidiary calls it the "BeBox".
TG587A wireless modem designed for streaming multimedia content via 802.11n wireless. It includes four ethernet ports and a built-in firewall.
T576Similar to the 585, but with only 1 Ethernet port. Also mainly distributed by AOL UK.
TG608A wireless gateway with built in firewall designed for business use, VLAN support and remote management.
ST620A four ethernet port gateway with wireless antennae and a built in firewall designed for business use.
TG670A gateway aimed at business users with four ethernet ports and 802.11n wireless.
TG672A gateway aimed at business users with four ethernet ports and 802.11n wireless. Similar to the TG670, but with multi-line DECT telephony, plus a gigabit LAN port for connection to a corporate network.
TG703Four port ADSL2+ gateway with high-speed Internet access and video service together with telephony.
TG712Four port ADSL2+ gateway with wireless.
ST780ADSL2+ high-speed Internet access and video service together with telephony, wireless with WEP2, 4 Ethernet ports, 2 analog phone ports for internal sip client, 1 pstn connector.
TG782ADSL2+ high-speed Internet access and video service together with telephony, wireless with WEP2, 4 Ethernet ports, 2 analog phone ports for internal sip client, 1 pstn connector, NO client usb, but it has a usb host for DECT extension.
TG784A wireless modem designed for VoIP and Home Networking Connectivity by LAN, WAN and Wi-Fi. It includes five ethernet ports, a USB 2.0 master and a built-in firewall.
TG797A wireless ADSL2+ modem designed for VoIP and Home Networking. It includes four ethernet ports, two USB 2.0 master, Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications and a built-in firewall.
TG870A four ethernet port gateway with wireless antennae, integrated 3G Femto Access Point allowing 8 simultaneous users and a built in firewall designed for multimedia services over a residential network.
TG872A four ethernet port gateway with wireless antennae, integrated 3G Femto Access Point allowing 8 simultaneous users and a built in firewall designed for multimedia services over a residential network. Allows remote management.
SpeedTouch gateways have been criticized because the algorithm used by the manufacturer to set both the default SSID and the corresponding WEP/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK passwords was very easily compromised, meaning that wireless access to SpeedTouch models that still use the default password is easily possible.
In 2002 San Diego Supercomputer Center of the University of California reported their testing of Alcatel SpeedTouch devices that identified multiple security issues. They said:
