Hi,
Having a few problems as stated in another thread and with no help from TalkTalk i took advice from a forum member on here and bought a new BT OR HG612 3B modem so i can get my hands on stats etc, whilst i await for it to be delivered i have some questions. I have read the unlock guide etc but still a little unsure on somethings and would appreciate some advice.
1) Reading this forum i see a thread for firmware
http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=14262.0 to be honest i'm not sure if this is the latest firmware and which version i need except i want the gui interface, but from the kitz hg612 unlock instructions page it gives a link to sp10 unlocked firmware (

Firmware Version: V100R001C01B028SP10 can anyone tell me which version i need from the link ? i am using a macbook pro retina (mid 2014) not Windows if that helps.
2) I see
GPL sources and
Tools and Patches folders, will i need these as can't find anything on whether i do or not ?
3) i don't own a windows machine and am new to mac as only been mac user for 4 weeks, can anyone tell me whether i can unlock it using the apple ethernet to thunderbolt adaptor? my rMBP does not have an ethernet port. I did a search on google and only found one thing that suggests i should be able to but thought i'd ask here.
4) as i said i'm new to mac, so any mac users out here i'd appreciate some advice, when unlocking i have to change the ip address of the ethernet port, my asus rt-ac68u router is 192.168.1, can someone tell me on osx yosemite am i rite in thinking i need to change that as shown in image below? i guess i would need to select manually for the unlocking part? any advise here to confirm would be great. I think i understand i will have to change the ip address of my router as it's 192.168.1.1 and will conflict with modem, or can i change modem ip address to something different? as i say any advice help here would be appreciated as not 100% sure.
Thank you for any help.
