Hello,
I've just connected to O2 after moving from Zen. Zen was twice the price (£34) and less than half the speed (6mbs) although reliable i thought i needed to save some cash (I didn't realise about the quidqo offer until later).
Anyway so far very happy with the service but i want to configure my existing router for use with O2. Now initially i tried to do this and I didn't get very far (i have the identical router but it's a Thomson 585 v7 branded one that i was using for the Zen connection). I ended up using the supplied O2 one but i wanted my one as a backup in case anything failed.
So i tried to follow the instructions (http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI-...ase,CASE=13409)
But I'm failing at the first steps (forgot to say connection is LLU):
1) I can't change the VCI to 101, 38 only
2) I cannot leave the username and password fields blank. The Thomson insisits on some value.
3) I don't have a static IP address and the Thomson requires some value yet again.
Now i'm under the impression that the O2 router has a specific firmware while the Thomson one is different.
Can anyone help of suggestions?
Cheers.
Other than that i'm very happy with the O2 connection so far....
