Ahh I see there's a different bit of kit for those on 50Mbit, not surprising given that the WRT54GL isn't suitable for 50Mbps.

Anybody know the address for the unit as want to log on and make sure the wireless connection is secure rather than leaving it open even though I have taken the aerials off.

Re: Broadband Quality Trial
 

I don't think it has wireless enabled on it but is running a custom Linux distro.

Re: Broadband Quality Trial
 

I doubt you will be able to log into it anyway

BTW amazing how well the confidentiality clause is working

Re: Broadband Quality Trial
 

LOL I spose specifics arnt being discussed just general chat that would be ok.


So the wireless part has been disabled then I take it?

Surprised they didnt just use a non-wireless router then like my other linksys.

Re: Broadband Quality Trial
 

Indeed so much to discuss. 'I plugged this grey / black box in and lights flashed...' ;)

Re: Broadband Quality Trial
 

Whats with the aerial anyway? Instructions say to connect it which I did.

Re: Broadband Quality Trial
 

Anyone know if you can access the router directly?

Pay more electricity per month to have a 3rd party device on my home network with no benefit to myself? Sure thing...where do I sign?

Re: Broadband Quality Trial
 

Login via TFTP gets a username/password prompt though I have no idea what they are

Re: Broadband Quality Trial
 

I don't think there is any thing new in this but a new press release has been made by VM to-day regarding the trial. http://pressoffice.virginmedia.com/p...473&highlight=

Anyone know how to use the wifi on the new kit.
My laptop is still connected to the wifi on my existing router and its throwing off the results.

Re: Broadband Quality Trial
 

You're supposed to be using the wifi of your existing router, the new one is not a router it's just bridging. It should do its' thing and be invisible on your network.

Have you read any destructions, emails, etc, that welcomed you to the trial?

Also so long as the new it is between your modem and your own router, as it should be, it's not affecting anything.

Re: Broadband Quality Trial
 

Yes I know what the new kit is and what its doing. I just dont see how its detecting traffic on my routers wifi. I was downloading something last night and it ran some tests during my downloading obviously causing horrible results. Only thing I can think of is that because there was no traffic running through it so it thought it would be a good time to run the tests.

And why would it ask you to attach the antennae if its not going to use them.
