TG582n

[flyerdave]

Hello to everyone.

I hope that my experience of Idnet is going to be better than Plusnet!

Just moved over this morning and have a question about setting up my router which is a TG582n.

This router was supplied by Plusnet so I would like to know if I should change anything other than the IP address/password (in order to connect to idnet)?

thanks

As long as its not locked down to plusnet it should be fine, just add your details and leave it to pick up the IP and DNS automatically. No idea about IPV6 support though, I doubt you will need it for now tbh though. If you can run the setup routine on that router it should all work fine and set the MTU correctly.

I hope IDNet works out for you, I have been with them for quite a few years and I think they are a good ISP, I cant pass comment on Plusnet. Anyway welcome to idnetters.

They're not locked down, you should be able to enter an Idnet username/password ok. They will revert to the PlusNet TR-069 username if factory reset though.

Can you update with non plusnet firmware then?

You probably can get a generic firmware but the previous Thomsons were never the easiest to update.
