What should I do?
 
I have just received my new router from Amazon (D-Link DI-624), came rather quick which i was impressed with, BUT...one problem - It's in French :mad:, would it be possible to change the language in the router or shall i return it?

(Not sure if this is in the right topic btw)

If the default language is in French, I wonder if it has a UK standard warranty :confused:

You could try the D-Link Website and check out the manuals etc.

The warranty is 2 years/15 days or your money back. I have been googling, and apparently this is not the first time this has happened, because the suppliers (Pixmania) warehouses based in France. :td:

Ugh, I wouldn't touch PixMania with a bargepole, if you're feeling brave (could brick the router) you could try installing UK firmware for that model.

Right ive successfully managed to "downgrade" the firmware to an English version. And all is good :D, apart from the fact i have to use the other routers power adapter as the D-Link one was French :rolleyes:.

Did the Pixmania advert on Amazon specify it would be supplied with a French plug because AFAIK it is against the law to provide goods in the UK without a proper tested power supply.

If I were you I'd get the thing back to them ASAP before anything serious goes wrong!

I've check both plugs and they both seem to have the same output/input, so it should be ok? Ive not noticed anything wrong with the router.

So long as the output Voltage and Amperage is the same then there shouldn't be any problems :) I say that without any prejudice :)
