| 1206414 | 2011-06-06 06:07:00 | 30 years ago it was common practice for equipment manufactures to make only one circuit board with all the facilities on it and 'package down' so only a limited set of facilities was available to the user for variations of the product. Maybe they are still doing it. Check how far away you can still pickup the ssid. |

Even if you don't know the default WiFi password, just connect to the router via Ethernet and choose your own password..... WE have one and it doesn't have WiFi at all. |

That is true in the case of some devices (in fact a lot) but the ST536v6 is a completely different product to the WiFi routers that Telecom supply (TG585v7\v8 or the older D-Link G604T) I know for a fact that the ST536v6 has no provision for WiFi whatsoever. It's plainly obvious to see by looking inside it that there is no WiFi circuitry and nowhere where WiFi circuitry would go. If anyone is still sceptical I can upload a photo of the inside of mine. I believe that hotkiwi has a TG585 of some kind and thinks he's got an ST536v6. |
