1182125	2011-02-28 05:40:00	Hi, I've got 3 computers wired up to a D-Link broad band modem - so wires all over the place. I've been given a Thompson wireless modem by my son-in-law who is with telecom and already has a wireless modem. Telecom wont/can't help. Xnet, the same. Thompson are difficult to trace. Son in law isn't willing to give his access details, for good reason. Has anyone any suggestions? I have to have Xnet as I need a seperate line from the rest of the house. I'm in the granny flat some distance from the house............sarum	sarum (6222)

Click the View More link of the internet service you want to view. 4. Click on the current username to edit & change it to the xnet username 5. Click on the current password to edit & change it to the xnet password 6. Click the connect button to save the changes & the modem should authenticate. Similar but not quite the same as in this link. telecom.custhelp.com	Safari (3993)

Peter Yes, but I think the firmware on the Thomsons is locked down so you can't (easily) change the username and password. However, I do believe that you can save a backup of the config file from the router, manually edit the contents and then reload it into the router. If that doesn't work, you may need to flash the router to a generic firmware rather than a custom one.	Agent_24 (57)

I haven't struck any locked down and have changed the username in many using the method I posted.	Safari (3993)
1182131	2011-02-28 06:56:00	Mine is not locked down either!!	Snorkbox (15764)
1182132	2011-02-28 07:02:00	Looks like I was wrong, but I did not know you had to click "Disconnect" first to allow editing of the username and password. But the firmware is still idiotic, on my Dynalink I could change anything without having to disconnect first....	Agent_24 (57)
1182133	2011-02-28 07:11:00	Some of the Thomson routers are locked down in that the username box only allows the first part and the @xtra.co.nz is in the GUI/firmware and can't be changed.	CYaBro (73)
1182134	2011-02-28 07:21:00	The one I saw wasn't locked down or anything, but had an absolutely awful firmware for anything other than a granny home user doing emails. Couldn't set up any sort of filtering or anything, just a wireless WEP password and the user's connection details. PFFFT. Then again I've since found out it's telecom's custom firmware and you can do a factory reset or something and have it returned to a decent state. (for a thompson, apparently)	8ftmetalhaed (14526)
