Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Gateway would be 192.168.1.1 but it doesn't actually matter as you are using it to get at the modem/router not the Internet.

Yes I tried using them. Made no difference. A netstat -r shoowed up all the same old addresses as before, no sign of e.g the new gateway or the HG612 address.

if you do an ipconfig does it show the new IP address on the LAN adapter?

Can you ping the router? If so, try an ipconfig /flushdns and then try reconnecting to router again. Shouldnt' make a difference but I've seen stranger thing happen in the past

Before:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : home
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::e463:3cf8:aba6:3ed8%10
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.68
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.254


After:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::e463:3cf8:aba6:3ed8%10
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.62.216
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

Here's what I did, please correct me if I missed something (Windows 7 btw):

1) Control Panel->Network and Internet->Network and Sharing Centre->Local Area Connection
Properties on dialog->Internet Protocol v4->properties
Use the following address:
IP address 192.168.1.100
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

2) plugged ethernet cable from PC into LAN2, disconnected HH5 from LAN1

3) powered down HG612

4) Held down reset button, power up modem and waited 5s (and a bit). Both power and LAN2 lights flashing.

5) set browser to 192.168.1.1

6) Browser says can't find web page...

IIRC you should be connecting to LAN1 to do the flashing. The point being that LAN2 is currently disabled.

In your "after" the adapter is not using the static IP so something is configured wrong. Can you paste the full results of an

ipconfig /all

when you have it set up with the static IP?

OK, that confirms your network adapter does have the new IP Address configured. I'm afraid that is as far as I can go then as I don't have access to an H612 - but your network adapter does look to be correctly configured. Sorry.

EDIT : Did you do this bit of the instructions?

Press the RESET button on the modem and keep it pressed.
5.Do not release the button yet.
6. Power on the modem.
7. Keep the RESET button pressed for a further five seconds.

Yes I followed that bit. Oh well, at least I'm getting an improvement in upload speed.

Following on from my original thought, was this sold with no mention of already being locked or unlocked?

There's a vague possibility it is unlocked and someone has set it to a different IP address than 192.168.1.1.

I suggest doing a factory reset on it. That will either set it to OR defaults or to the defaults of the flashed version. In other words it will ensure it is on 192.168.1.1. Then try again.
