Netgear CG2100D
Hi guys,
Quick question(s) for you. 
Do Virgin Media now push the Netgear CG2100D cable modem router for the new installs on 20Mb? One of our customers has this and I've never come across it before.
Netgear product page is here: http://www.netgear.com/products/serv...ys/CG2100.aspx
Naff-all support on it mind, no latest firmware for it.
Offhand, if anybody knows how to disable the SIP ALG on it that would be incredibly useful.
Kind regards,
TM

Re: Netgear CG2100D
No the one we supply is a combined modem/hub called a vmdg280 which is built by Netgear for Virginmedia as per the link below.

Re: Netgear CG2100D
Cheers guys. It was branded with Virgin Media firmware all over it, trademark stuff really. Next to unconfigurable, couldn't disable the SIP ALG in the web config and SIP over it completely fails to deliver the goods. Works as a cable modem, that's about it.
DOCSIS 2 n'all, so not even 50Mb users can take advantage of it.

It has embedded Virginmedia firmware onboard so any attempt to flash it would very likely kill it as it is primarily a modem a router second in this configuration.

Re: Netgear CG2100D
It's mostly a standard Netgear interface, so it's as configurable as that

Re: Netgear CG2100D
Configurable enough to turn off the DHCP and use it as a cheap standalone wireless access point? :P

That access is not available so not possible as the is not a lot you can alter in the interface, which is quite deliberate on the part of Virginmedia and Netgear, buy one and you will end up in all likelihood with a doorstop.

Are the superhubs any good, or are you still better off with a stand alone modem router combo.
just curious

Seems like you and BenMcr have differing opinions of just what the standard Netgear interface is.
Does anyone have screenshots of it? Failing that I may be replacing someone's next week so I could have a dig around myself then...

Nobody has them yet except trialists and testers, so you won't get many opinions from the general public.

Re: Netgear CG2100D
I love the super hub. It works really well.
No issues at all.
