In reply to a post by meditator:

Burakkucat,

Is it possible for you to give me the name of the supplier on EBay from whom you bought your 2700HGV? Via a private message here, for example?

I've already advised my brother to get one that's new and fully boxed.

Here's the link to a recent eBay search. I purchased mine under the Buy It Now category rather than via the auction process.

As E7er has said, eBay doesn't work that way. However I did check with the seller (a second hand electronics dealer) but they currently do not have any in stock.

OK, got bored with no one giving the answer to your original question....

Yes, it is perfectly simple to get the data from a Homehub. http://192.168.1.254 this will get you to the GUI. Then depending on which version Homehub they have it's just intuition to find the data you are after. You *may* have to set up an admin password, but again this is simple.

You seem to have had many posters extolling the virtues of the 2 wire, and yes, it's a good 'un on a long line, but if it's a Homehub 2 (the curved black one) then this will sync about as high as the 2 wire. If it's a 1, then OK ish ..... if it's a 1.5 (the square one) then bin it.

Yes, you can happily use whichever router you please, but always worth keeping the BT Broadband issued one if they need to call Tech support.
