Re: Reasons you can't log into the internal page I'm just going to throw this out there - I could be incorrect, but:
I imagine if I turn off the TR-069 client I won't get their new firmware pushed to me? |

| It is always possible that they are going to push it to any routers that are registered on the account regardless of that setting. I have no idea, but CV definitely has an inventory of their routers (as they do with all equipment) |

kudos:1 | I'm going to wager a guess that they won't be able to push it without that on.  |

I'm assuming tftping into this thing and restoring the firmware would piss off optimum. Are they lending it to us or is it our to keep? |

Re: [OOL] Can't log into router As far as I know, the router is free for you to use as long as you are an Optimum customer -- just like the cable modem. |

It could also be that Optimum, like Verizon, discovered that if they provide a router they must support it; and it is nearly impossible to support a router without control of its features.
I wouldn't blame them for this - for the vast majority of customers having Customer Service operate the router will provide a better service experience than doing it themselves. |

Right. And if you need truly granular control of your router, it's best you procure your own hardware anyway. |

Re: [OOL] Can't log into router said by jaa  I think your best bet is to TFTP different firmware to the device.
Do you know how I would get it back to OpenRG? |

Also, TFTPing doesn't work. It times out. |

Do you know how I would get it back to OpenRG? This would be the cheapest and easiest way: »www.amazon.com
