785473 2009-06-24 10:47:00 Been trying to find out how to change the LAN IP of a Thompson TG585V7, but there doesn't seem to be any where in the GUI that I can do that.

Someone suggested that the GUI is useless and we need to use the CLI, however the person I am helping does not know what the password is and I have had no luck googling the default password for this modem/router.

I've tried to call xtra and they keep wanting me to go into the Broadband section which is more for the WAN stuff.

The reason I want to change the LAN IP is that the default 192.168.1.x segment is same as the office LAN we're trying to connect to, so the RDP over VPN connection isn't working. I have came across this problem before and the only way I know how to get around it is to change the LAN IP segment on the user end (obviously, we can't change the LAN settings on the office end).

Does any one know ...

1. The default password
2. How to change the LAN IP
3. Resolve the RDP over VPN issue without changing the LAN IP??

Any ideas??

785474 2009-06-24 11:12:00 One site says the password maybe the serial number of the modem. Or reset it, then reconfigure it Speedy Gonzales (78)
785475 2009-06-24 13:38:00 1. Login via GUI.
2. Create new admin user and password.
3. Now you can login via Telnet CLI.

After all that.

Toss the modem and get something half decent that doesn't lock you out of things like setting custom DNS and changing LAN IP addresses.

Once in there it is easy to change the IP.

785478 2009-06-24 22:26:00 Yep, change internal IP from menu 'Home Network/Interface devices. There is an edit and configuration option there.

Userid is 'Administrator'.

Umm, yes, I had a look in there, but you can change the IP of other connected device but the router itself.

Don't understand your problem. My LAN address is the default 192.168.1.254 but I can click edit and change it. Let's face it, it HAS to be changeable.

But accurate
May not relate to your modem but.....
If its one of those Telecom modems, dont waste your time (honestly)
The cheaper one evidently has a secret Telecom login/pass they that wont give out as well as the user login/no-pass. The secret login may give more config options.
evidently it uses 2 ip subnets, 2nd one is for the secret login.

This info was from a telecom Tech, he said they wont give out that 2nd
secret login/pass to anyone.
