@ BKC,
You have to ensure your picture is less than 200 K but then click on the "Additional Options & File Attachments" click the resulting
choose file button and navigate to your required file.
(Add more within the max limit if you wish by using the "more attachements" link.)
Then click post.
@ everyone,
The usual caveat applies that you use the following instructions at your own risk !
I obtained the following instructions for V 6 firmware from the good folks on the IDNet forum. It works as far as username and password for any ISP that I've tried, using the appropriate settings :-
Dual SSID 2700HGV quick set-up guide.WARNING: DO NOT FLASH THIS VERSION OF THE 2700HGV WITH THE SBC
FIRMWARE, IT WILL BE DESTROYED IF YOU DO SO.
It is NOT necessary to "trick" this router into working with IDNet, you simply provide the router
with your IDNet login details using the built in set-up wizard.
Here is how........
1. Make the following 3 cable connections to the router - ADSL phone line, Ethernet cable, Power cord.
2. Power up the router and wait 3 minutes; then leaving the power on, press the recessed reset button for 30 seconds and then allow the router to re-boot
3. Start your Internet Browser and enter HOME into the address bar.
4. When the page opens, click on Run System Setup Wizard in the box at the bottom right hand corner of
the page. The new page asks for a KEY CODE, the correct code for the UK is:
528Y - 27G4 - A222 - 22BJ - B22V.
Click NEXT to continue...
The next page allows you to select the time zone, then click NEXT to continue....
Enter your IDNet username ( eg. someone@uk.idnet.dsl4 or GW5 ) and password in the boxes and then click NEXT to continue.....
Your router will now connect to IDNet and a summary will appear.
5. Firewall Settings -
Open page
http://gateway.2wire.net/management and then from the menu list select Firewall, Advanced Settings
Under Security tick the Stealth Mode and Block Ping boxes
Under Inbound and Outbound Control untick Remote Management
Click the SAVE (or Submit) button in both boxes
6 Wireless Settings -
Open Page
http://gateway.2wire.net/management again and this time select Local Network,
Wireless
Tick the Enable Wireless Network Security box and then set Authentication to WPA2-PSK
Enter your Password choice and then SAVE the page
7. Router Password -
Open page HOME and then from the Network at a Glance section select Change System Password
Under Password Protection tick the ENABLE box.
Enter your Password in the 2 boxes and add a Hint if you wish.
Kind regards,
Walter
