Re: [BC] V1000h and Unblockus.com Sindows7,
Your idea would be the easiest solution. The reason I haven't attempted this is because of the mixed results I have read from others on this forum who attempted bridging the V1000h and ended up screwing up everything. Perhaps those who did have problems bridging just didn't know what they were doing. In any case.. I would now like to go ahead and try it. Correct me if I'm wrong.. but doesn't bridging the V1000h require the assistance of Telus? And just how enthusiastic can I expect them to be about helping me do this? |

Vancouver, BC | Bridging is unsupported as the default Telus firmware on the Actiontec does not allow it. Telus won't help you install the unsupported third party firmware either.
As for Unblock-Us, I ran into a problem with it's DNS settings on my Cisco router. For whatever reason my Android tablet gave a lot of errors after loading the Netflix app when trying to connect through Unblock-Us. After pulling the custom DNS off my router and adding it to the advanced settings on my tablet directly, it worked fine. Not sure if the Kindle Fire HD will have the same issue. |

that firmware works great and I have been running bridge mode for weeks with no problems at all |

Parksville, BC | Thanks for the info Mike_C and Sindows7.
Telus pushed it's .57 FW into my V1000h some weeks ago. Safe to say that bridging is not possible with that in place. So if I try loading the hacked fw package that Sindows recommends, and things don't go well, is there a chance that I might brick this thing?
Jeepers. It shouldn't be this difficult to simply gain the ability to set your own DNS. What a nightmare.
A brand new Actiontech DSL Gateway can be purchased for $59 from Amazon. I wonder if it would work with Telus DSL.

I'm confused. I've read that others say that bridging with the .57 FW works exactly the same as with the .55 FW. Are you doing something wrong/different from the others that have gotten it to work? |

As far as I know, you cannot bridge the Actiontec V1000h with the default Telus firmware on-board. At least that seems to be the general consensus. If you know otherwise, please give us all specifics on how to do so. |

When you say you have tried to bridge the Actiontec V1000h with the default .57 Telus firmware, how did you attempt to do it? |

If you have the Optik package, then this router from Actiontec will probably NOT work as the Optik DSL is a VDSL, and not ADSL. |
