Now, it's perfectly clear that I can't turn this into a cable router, that's fine. I have other routers lying around that will do just fine. But I need the VOIP function. It is designed to access the internet via the ADSL WAN port, which won't be operational.

So what I need to do is change the default route (or if anyone has any other suggestions that will work, that's great) so it accesses the internet itself via MY router through the LAN ports.

Can I do it? I've telnetted in and it's not linux (I don't think) but it has some commands.

525399 2007-02-17 08:45:00 Well ... I feel a bit of an idiot now, as I've just got it sorted. Here's how:

- Disable NAT, Disable DHCP serving
- Telnet in, login as admin
- configure route
- ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 100 (Just entered a random high enough number for hops. That ip address is for my cable router)
- exit
- close telnet
- reboot router

Just a matter of figuring out the mostly undocumented (that I knew of) commands. Is that an OS or totally proprietory command system?
