| 1429645 | 2016-12-20 03:21:00 | That's the worst part, the only single reliable one I've actually found is the DV130. I've tried a Netcomm NF4V with a Gargoyle Archer C7 behind it, and the NF4V still kept losing the plot under heavy load. That said it lasted a damn sight longer than the Huawei HG630b router that Spark have been peddling. FWIW I have newly set up a DV130 and Gargoyle Archer C7 as per Chills recommendations. It runs perfectly and is noticeably cooler than anything I have had before. |

| 1429647 | 2016-12-20 18:50:00 | My VDSL is all up and running. I have to use the router that Vodafone sent me (HG659) as I'm a bit broke with all the Xmas spending. It seems to be working ok and is a lot faster than my ADSL plan. Next question- When I log on to the router through the web I was able to change the name and password for the wifi ok, but i can't find where to change the password to actually login to the router. So my thinking is that anyone of my neighbors or anyone parked on the road outside my house can just login to the router web page and with the default password be able see my login/password. Am I correct in thinking this and if so how do I change it? Many thanks again! |

| 1429648 | 2016-12-20 20:04:00 | Log into your router and select system or administration. I don't have that router but it will be similar to that. There will be an option to change the password there. So long as your WiFi is secure it is not likely that a casual person in the street could log into your router and do anything. |

So as long as they don't know the Wireless password, or its open then basically they cant get in. |

| 1429651 | 2016-12-20 22:50:00 | I always change the router default password, anyway, just in case some 'crack' allows access to the router control panel other than requiring access via your LAN. If you google it you will see it has happened. | linw (53) | ||

If you google it you will see it has happened. Where that happens, a non-default password doesn't matter :P This is why the DSL-302g was a liability for Telecom back in the day... But yes, you should change the password, though be realistic about why you're doing that and what it's going to accomplish. |

| 1429653 | 2016-12-22 12:56:00 | With the HG659 The vodafone login doesnt give you all the options. If you want everything you have to login with Admin and type in @ and the serial # on the modem as the password. Which sounds pretty stupid to me ! I was going to biff this useless modem, because the Xbox was stuck on moderate NAT. But then when the latest Xbox update came out a week or so ago, I think it fixed it. At least the NAT says open now ! Typical MS stuffup again ! |
