| Telus 2Wire 2700HG-E modem on Teksavvy? Has anyone got one of these Telus DSL modem to work with Teksavvy? I have one 2700HG-E however I think its locked to Telus because I can't get to the management webpage on the modem 192.168.1.254/mdc in order to put in the PPPOE username and password. Is there a way to reflash the firmware? Thanx | |

The modem will work on Telus's network... but you'll have to use windows to enter the PPoE info on each PC your connecting. | |

It's been while sense they sold any hardware. My impression is that for the last year or two, the customer usually owns the modem (as in, a modem is shipped to them and not expected to be returned) in most circumstances @ TELUS. Legacy accounts would differ - check your bill for a modem rental (even if it's $0.00) - then you'd be expected to return the modem.

| Re: Telus 2Wire 2700HG-E modem on Teksavvy? Been awhile since I had my modem...
But IIRC, it did have PPoE option, but it had some weird email address in it@telus.com, so I'm not sure if the PPoE is even functional since Telus doesn't use it.
Best bet is a new router/modem combo... one can be picked up for $25-50. | |

| yeah, I don't remember if there's a PPPoE option available through the MDC - I want to say yes, but I don't have one in front of me.
2Wire's with the old MDC password are few and far between - so I dunno if it'll make any difference. There may be a way to flash with other firmware - unless the HG-E (TELUS revision) will only accept certain firmware - which is a likely scenario.

ISTR seeing something on the BellER forum about flashing their 2701HG-G modems. It might be worth looking there. IMO it is not worth the hassle of flashing modems with "funny" firmware unless you find that sort of thing enjoyable or challenging.
In any case, even if you end up bricking the Telus modem you can get a refurb'd 2700HG-B for ~$25 that will do essentially everything the 2701 series can do. | |
