VM Router.
I'm meant to be getting a router off VM any day now, anyone know what make and version it is, also any hacked firmware other then the VM branded stuff.

Cheers.

Re: VM Router.
It is a Netgear one and I won't use it out of principal, I bought myself a new Linksys one instead.

Re: VM Router.

Re: VM Router.
Thank you, any idea if I can flash it with normal firmware to get rid of the VM stuff?

No as it is embedded and even Netgear will not provide support for it, if you attempt to flash it you are liable to brick it.

Re: VM Router.

If you login using 192.168.1.1 it gives you the normal Netgear set up screens so should be ok.

Below is quick set up without using the Virgin disk.

Quick router set up for the V9

connect your laptop direct to the router in port 1to 4>open internet explorer>in the address bar put http://192.168.1.1/ when the login screen appears put in the username : virgin and the passphrase : password> the Netgear router page will now appear, down the left side click on Wireless settings>now name your network, something you remember and replace the passphrase with a new one at least 8 characters long and click apply, wait for it to finish updating and close the page.

disconnect cable from laptop and router, ensure inbuilt wireless switched on, go to system tray and look for connect to a network icon ( not the virgin icon ) click it and find your network name, click connect put in your passphrase and when it says connected open a browser page and you should be connected.

the WGR614V9 has VM own firmware

the WNR2000 has netgear standard firmware that can be upgraded from their site.

Yeah, but you quoted the question "Does this router support WPA2" and answered with a quick installation guide

Re: VM Router.
The G router does support WPA2 as I'm connected to it via that at this moment.
