I have told them i will bin it if they dont reply to my emails, They have till the end of this week

On the plus side it's a reasonable 3x3 MIMO Gigabit router.

Now if only I could figure out how to load the stock firmware onto it rather than whatever they have on it...

Might do the same.

Before plugging it in I was getting responses.

Since plugging it in I'm being ignored constantly. I've sent email after email asking the same thing.

Might bin it or at least try and hack it & see if the wifi's any good. Any ideas how to start on hacking the thing? I managed to telnet to it once.

If you ever find out please tell me. I've been trying to figure this one out for a while.

Since upgrading to 80mbps I've noticed that some parts of the house - despite having one bar from full signal only get 20mbps via wifi. This I'm sure would help

You can get a telnet on 192.168.1.1 after turning the device on and then pressing the QSS button as soon as the SYS light starts to flash, let go as soon as it starts flashing fast and then telnet in.

remember to set your IP to 192.168.1.2 with subnet 255.255.255.0

=== IMPORTANT ============================
Use 'passwd' to set your login password
this will disable telnet and enable SSH

The above post is mine,

All we need to do is follow this post firmware restore

Hope this helps everyone

Is it possible to put stock firmware on there then?

Yeah follow those posts then download official firmware and login to router via browser and update back to normal.

,mine is now fully working as a normal one

Is the wifi good on this unit?

It's matching the Billion 7800N at the moment, will test it better tomorrow but it's a great wifi repeater for upstairs!
