Noise problems again

Mmm. 

Hope for the 14-day rule to work, then.

Got mine setup.

Great stuff. It looks like the Netgear was to blame, which I suspected. See how you get on, but I'm sure it'll be fine. The 2Wire is the most rock solid router I've ever seen!

Thought you would like that Seb..

Can't argue with a service like that. Seems to be doing a top job on that line as well, looking at the stats.

You are just commission hungry..

Pay the full price next time Adam.

Some people only paid £15! And the last two after me only paid 50p more! I suspect there is some discrimination going on...

That's interesting Adam..

I note that patioheater purchased one from her back last October, he sells them via DSL Zone...strange.

I did pay full price 

If yours anything like mine then its easy to setup..
My advice to you is to use this link :- http://bt2700hgv.tripod.com/ir1002700HGVeditingRealms.htm

You have to use the javascript get around if its the same one as mine.. All explained in the above link.

Mine was up and running in 5 mins.

I've been led in bed all day (got cold/flu/sickness bug) messing around with settings etc, wireless is better than my netgear one and my laptop seems to connect to it much quicker.

Fair enough, I suppose you deserve the better service.

Thanks for the link, I hope mine works as easily as yours has.

I've always found my Netgear wireless to be pretty poor, so better wireless will be a welcome enhancement.

Ask Rik to turn his up full whack, You could probably use that.

[Rik]

What channel should I tune to Ted, Classic FM or the Jazz?

If it's a good as it sounds I may start providing wireless broadband for the local area.

Seriously though, the wireless output of the dual ssid versions are not adjustable through the interface as with the SBC firmware. Its there, just not accessible. However, its possible to reinstate this feature by "hacking" the firmware.
Also expect the firmware to auto upgrade shortly after connection even with the poison in place (go figure). This appears to have no impact on the routers performance.
Another small thing, these seem to take a long time to boot, so don't be alarmed if when you plug it in nothing happens for a minute or two.

Really? Mine was quicker than my Netgear.. Plug it into the mains, couple secs later broadband and internet lite was on.

[Ted]

interesting, the two i've set up both took ages to boot or reboot. I'll have to try paying the elec bill earlier

[Sebby]

Mine takes a while to boot. Probably about the same time as my SpeedTouch 585v6. I don't see it as a long time, but compared with a Netgear, for example, it's slow.

[Ted]

i only see it as a long time comparing it to Netgear or Linksys, which were both a lot quicker.

I'll probably end up hacking it in any way possible anyway.

I don't mind it updating so long as it doesn't start overwriting settings! Do you think it'd be possible to stop it by setting the DNS to 0.0.0.0 then manually configuring the computers? Or maybe it uses IP address. 

Another small thing, these seem to take a long time to boot, so don't be alarmed if when you plug it in nothing happens for a minute or two.

I'm pretty impatient and I find my Netgear takes too long to boot (about 20-30seconds ) so I'll have to hold back on the kicking.

Thanks for the advice and the eBay link, Ted. You've been a great help.
