1182135 2011-02-28 08:39:00 Thanks for so many replies. 1.Once the modem's connected, it goes straight to Tcom: asking for name/pwrd. 2.safari's 192.168.1.254 didn't show 'BB connection menu' - I tried extensively. This is a quick reply to thankyou all.
safari's final link has yet to be tried. I'm sure 'ryanjames.powell' has the answer; but that all depends on XNET (who are open till 10pm or whatever). Who runs xnet, has he ever tried...........too rich to bother.
I suspect that son.in.law's modem has his name in it. But I'll keep trying; one of my 3 computers double boots with XP (for visiting grandkids).
May be XNet's site will awake.

I assumed that the XNET CEO is male person.

1182136 2011-02-28 10:19:00 If I go into the backup and restore config section of the router and save a config, I get a file called user.ini.

Inside that file are many sections pertaining to the configuration of the router, and a lot of them are not changeable or even viewable in the web interface.

For example, here's one section:


[ ppp.ini ]
ifadd intf=Internet
rtadd intf=Internet dst=0.0.0.0/0 src=0.0.0.0/0 metric=10
ifconfig intf=Internet dest=atm_0_100 accomp=enabled mru=1500 doddelay=120 dnsmetric=10
ifconfig intf=Internet user=user@xtrabb.co.nz password=<RemovedEvenThoughIDon'tThinkItMatters> status=enabled

I expect changing these items and reloading the config into the router will allow you to change them.


Telecom already told me to do this when changing the DHCP settings as the web interface has a bug which refuses to accept the subnet mask in the settings, claiming it's invalid.

I don't know why they don't release a firmware update, or better yet, a firmware with a web interface that isn't retarded.

1182137 2011-02-28 10:29:00 @Agent24.

Is this a V7 or V8 Thompson?

1182138 2011-02-28 10:57:00 V6, ST536 v6. Agent_24 (57)
1182139 2011-02-28 11:05:00 The one I have is a V8 so that may have something to do with it.

1182140 2011-02-28 11:22:00 But yours is also a totally different router, the TG585 - which is the one with switch and Wifi included.

Mine is the single-port Ethernet only version, which I have connected to a separate switch and access point (I prefer it that way)

Post #1 said Thompson wireless modem and did not specify model.

So your point is?

1182142 2011-02-28 11:46:00 That the configuration etc of mine may not apply in this case since the OP and you both have the Wifi version and I don't. Agent_24 (57)
1182143 2011-02-28 11:56:00 Exactly. Which is why I queried *your* Thompson experience which was different to mine. :) Snorkbox (15764)
1182144 2011-02-28 19:52:00 Mine is v8. I'll have another go at contacting Xnet later on today...sarum. sarum (6222)
