I have a long line ADSL & was looking for a router that would cope. I fair amount of reading turned up the Billion 8800NL and the 2WIRE 2700. I saw a cheap 2700 on eBay and bought it, when it arrived it turned out to be a 2701. The seller tried to fob me off by saying it's the same thing as a 2700, but after all the reading I did, it's clear that they're quite different.
However, I thought that as I had it at home, I'd give it a try. To be honest, after a couple of days it seems to handle the line quite well with good speeds and so far no line drops. The only thing that bothers me is that it has an open port on the Internet side for remote management. On the 2701, there's no option to turn it off, other versions apparently have a tick box in the advanced firewall settings to enable / disable remote management.
I found the hidden page to change the ISP on here (many thanks), and all is ok with Plusnet.
Does anyone know of a way to turn off the remote management, or any other hidden pages?
