Using own router

I'm moving to Plusnet from BT shortly and would like to carry on using my own Netgear DG834G router, is it just a case of logging in to the router and changing the username and password when I hear that the change has been activated ?

Thanks.

yes as simple as that

Good,thanks Adam,
I've ordered a Plusnet router and might use it later when I'm sure everything is working OK, the online instructions for the Plusnet router looks a bit of a palaver specially at the start of a new service.

Cheers.

Actually all you do is plug it in and it sorts itself out automatically
I just changed from a DG834G v4 to a TG582n because the Netgear was showing signs of giving up the ghost and it is working fine

Thanks Jim, I might give it a go then.
Ta.

You may want to (not sure that you have to) reconfigure your DNS servers on the router/PC, if set to BT's ones.

Thanks camieabz - Can't see anywhere to change the router and Win7 is set to "automatically obtain" at the moment but I have noted 212.159.13.49 or 212.159.13.50 just in case.

old jim surley you need a tr-069 router for that to work fine going to the default router but not if still using the dg834g?

I was advised on friday if I kept my dgnd3300v2 I need to manualy configure in my move from madasafish 50gb limit to plusnet unlimited

look at the manual select the exact model from the options here http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/default.aspx

I suggest you look at the post I was replying to

Thanks , but there's nothing in the manual about changing routers DNS. I've used this one with VM and BT no problems.It is getting on a bit now so I might use Plusnet's, wish I knew what they were sending me, order just says Thomson 4 port, the last Thomson I used was the old Speedtouch frog about 15 years ago I think.

Assuming it is the same as the V4 it is very simple unlike the Technicolor where you have to telnet in

Thanks Jim, I've just checked Plusnet's website for using own routers and the settings are same as BT's except for the username and password.My Netgear's DNS settings are set at "Get Automatically From ISP" so it looks like it'll be OK.
Cheers.

Also:

Primary 212.159.6.9
Secondary 212.159.6.10

if the first two are no good for pings. They should about the same tbh.

Thanks Camieabz.
