| 718602 | 2008-11-08 00:27:00 | Just installed wired BB via Telecom, using their wizard (sick to death of the Woosh Wireless signal dropouts - it's only taken 4 years! :o ). The ADSL modem is a Thomson and the wizard, although it allowed me to set my own password (gee, thanks!), didn't present me with any opportunity to name my network something meaningful - it's currently called "Thomson52DD3B". I can't remember the IP address you have to use to access the wireless settings (I previously had a Netgear Wireless Router set up and working nicely - but that router didn't appear to want to play with the standard ADSL modem I first got from Telecom). Running XP Pro, SP3. |

| 718603 | 2008-11-08 00:31:00 | I would say you'll have to find out what the ip is, to log into its config. So you can change the SSID. if thats what youre changing |

| 718604 | 2008-11-08 00:41:00 | Thanks Speedy - but how do I access its config? | johcar (6283) | ||
| 718605 | 2008-11-08 00:44:00 | lol i dont know. Google the model of it, and see if there's a manual If you havent got one (which is pretty hopeless, if you didnt get one) Or ring Xtra. |

| 718606 | 2008-11-08 01:03:00 | To find the Routers IP - Click Start/Run type in CMD Press Enter - In the Command box type in ipconfig Press enter - look for Default Gateway the routers address will be there. Lets say the address is 192.168.1.1 in your browser, type in http://192.168.1.1 Press enter and you should get the login screen - I think from memory the user name and password is admin / admin Those Thomson Modem/routers Telecom supply are a pain in the arse, I think Telecom have had them changed so its not easy to reconfigure - not user friendly at all. |

| 718607 | 2008-11-08 01:03:00 | To find the Router's IP; while connected to it go to Start--> Run and type cmd and hit enter. Then type ipconfig and hit enter. The Default Gateway is the Router's IP Address...enter that IP in you Web Browser. | Safari (3993) | ||
| 718608 | 2008-11-08 01:04:00 | Good advice Speedy - I must remember, Google is my friend. Got an answer from a help Forum: Start>Run>CMD then type arp -a, press enter and you get the router address. Type the IP returned by the above query into the address bar of your browser and configure to your heart's content!! |

| 718610 | 2008-11-08 01:09:00 | After a bit of "reading" I think the default address is 192.168.1.254 Have a look at This forum at GeekZone (www.geekzone.co.nz) - gives instructions | wainuitech (129) | ||
