| 1209076 | 2011-06-14 13:06:00 | So frustrating to hear you guys have done it. I have tried the user@adsl.ihug.co.nz to no avail. Did you have to modify the user.ini file? Did you guys get it going at a non xtra/Telecom site? I am trying it at home and I am with Telecom. At the moment I have got the modem locked up and can't even access the config screen. I modified the user.ini in two places to change the user@xtrabb.co.nz to the ihug user. It has a red 'Internet' LED indicating no authentication but it seems to be cycling as it comes and goes. |

A red internet light means it detects a line signal but can't find your ISP. Here's what we have |

| 1209079 | 2011-06-14 13:48:00 | Well it's not going to authenticate the ihug user on your telecom phone line. You will find most people have a Telecom phone line and have no trouble connecting to other broadband suppliers as long as the switch has been taken care of. |

But linw does not say if he has switched to ihug or is with Xtra. I was under the possibly mistaken impression he was doing it for a third party as he's tried user@voda and user@ihug And to change the username and password you have to disconnect anyway and I don't know if linw has tried that as I had earlier mentioned. |

| 1209082 | 2011-06-14 15:05:00 | Have you tried backing up the configuration to a text file, manually editing the username and then restoring it back into the router? Telecom told me I had to do that to change my DHCP settings on my ST536v6 because the web interface is buggy and won't accept any IP address, claiming they are all invalid. |

I had the same problem when trying to set it up from my home (with Telecom broadband) - it just doesn't accept other ISP's username. It accepts Telstra's username quite happily when actually connected to Telstra's username in my mate's home. |

| 1209084 | 2011-06-14 23:38:00 | Haha would you beleive that I set one of these up to go thru xnet yesterday? The strange devices have two configuration pages, one at 192.168.1.254 (i think) then something like dsl.landevice/ I used the ip address on to enter in the adsl username details. Worked perfect. (After I figured out the user had given me the wrong password :D ) |

| 1209085 | 2011-06-14 23:47:00 | To clarify. I am with Telecom but I am trying to test a modem belonging to a third party at my house. I tried getting it going at the owner's site but it wouldn't authenticate which is why I brought it home to test. I have now tried connecting to Voda using a DSL604T and it won't authenticate either. I am wondering whether Telecom customers are able to test with other ISP credentials, now, but I certainly have done it previously but things may have changed? Anyone know for sure? And, yes, I know to disconnect to change user and I have tried modifying the user.ini file but nothing works. |
