Router configuration
My network provider is Talk Talk which I am using a Netgear hub for connection, although I believe this may be faulty, I still have, from a previous
provider, a BT Home Hub, my question is can I configure the BT hub to accept my Talk Talk connection and if so can anyone help by explaining how this
is done?
cheers in anticipation Peter

Yes you can.
You need to log into your home hub (192.168.1.254 I believe) from a browser window then find and change the internet username and password to your
Talk Talk one.

That sounds easy enough but how do I find the user name fr my Talk Talk one, I have the pass word..... Sorry to sound thick, I am better off with a
spanner in my hand not a PC....

It should be with the bumf they sent you. It will be yourlandline@talktalk.net
You will also need a username and password to log onto your home hub. I think the username will be admin and the password should be on label on the
hub itself.

It used to be that the BT Home Hubs were locked to BT only Broadband, I know because the only way I could get the spare one to work for my dad when
his router died was to flash the BT router with a custom ROM to unlock it.
So if you cant get it too work, I would Google the BT router model (normally printer some place on it) along with "Can I use it on another
provider"
I know BT after a certain modle number also prevented flashing a custom ROM so you may be out of luck...... Good Ol BT.

I didn't realise that was the case.

it would probably be easier to pick-up a secondhand ADSL router off ebay for buttons. A quick ebay trwal brought up some actual Talk-Talk
D-Link routers

ADSL routers are relatively cheap and easy to pick up. I'd just buy one if there is a risk that your BT Home Hub router cannot be reconfigured.
