| 1268436 | 2012-04-07 02:37:00 | How do I, check the timeout setting within these modems has been set to zero? | ianhnz (4263) | ||
| 1268437 | 2012-04-07 05:05:00 | You need to type the internal IP address of the modem into your browser, and supply username and password (often just 'admin' and 'admin'. The internal IP address is different to the 'external IP that various internet aps report. Consult your user manuals, or search the modem manufacturers site for the info. Or try some of the common ones, like: 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.255 These do vary from one company to another however. |

| 1268440 | 2012-04-07 09:12:00 | I still say they're crappy routers. It should most definitely be able to handle that setting, a *real* router could... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1268441 | 2012-04-07 09:38:00 | Telecom's free Thomson are NOT 'crappy' routers, they are pretty good really. I have personally set up 4 of them and they are all working brilliantly - no issues, at all. They are in fact, as good as any of the routers available in the NZ market at that price range - < $200.00 |

| 1268442 | 2012-04-07 21:25:00 | I've also installed about four and they have all worked perfectly as well. And you can't argue about the price as my last v8 one from Cash Converters cost $29! I woul not recommend them for people who want to do tricky configurations but for the vast majority of Telecom users, you plug them in and that is that. |

| 1268443 | 2012-04-07 21:38:00 | No, they're not, they're total ass. Stupid things like wifi dropping when you load too many devices on it or have encryption on. Have you tried content filtering on them? It make the throughput blow so hard you're literally better off with smoke signals. What about the general interface of them? Its horrible. No, just because you've setup 4 of them with "one or two devices attached" doesn't make it decent. Its like saying a knife is super sharp, yet all you cut is bread, not steak... no those devices are still absolutely crap! |

| 1268444 | 2012-04-07 22:08:00 | Thousands of Telecom customers are using them without or with minimal issues. Of course, if you have the xtra money to spend, go ahead to buy whatever you wish, it's your money, anyway. |
