I don't suppose you could try it on one of your Hubs if I provide a download link?

Yes, that regraded successfully, using 192.168.1.254/upgrade . The regrade took a surprisingly long time, but it got there in the end, after I'd begun to think that it had failed. Be aware that it resets the router to its factory defaults.

I have done this and I can confirm it works!

So: anybody who wants to go back to BT firmware from the Qwest firmware can do so with the link posted above!

Can you also go back to the Qwest firmware from v6 Bt firmware?

Yes you can.

I presume that this beta firmware is vulnerable to automatic update by BT to 6.1.1.48.

I would presume it is, but the good thing. is, that you can now switch between two different firmwares on the Business Hub. Somebody should write to the 2700HGV unlocking site and let them know!

You may be able to flash the router to the 6.1.1.22 version, but what's the benefit of the 6.1.1.22 version?

Right guys!

Here's how to set the time to UK time.

1. Download Opera
2.  Go to the timezone page and right click and choose source
3. On the new page scroll down to the section with the time zones.
4. Above the highest time zone, paste this: <td>(GMT)</td>
<td>British Time</td>
<td><input type="radio" class="radio-btn" name="TZID" value="1;GMT+0;GMT-1"></td>
5. After that go back to the time zone page and click apply. That will set the time to the correct UK time.

Unfortunately, the daylight saving option has no effect so when the clocks go back you will have to manually change this again.

That is now fixed. Use those steps and the time will be set correctly!

You'll need to click Save first to save the changes you made to the source page, before you change tabs to the HTML timezone page.
