Right iv finnaly given in my modem has died and none of my macs are working! Iv taken the plunge and ordered a sub with a self install pack

I have arranged for this to be delivered to my house, now I was wandering if anyone knows who delivers them is it royal mail or a virgin tech? as this will decide on weather I need to put a few things out of sight

if anyone has had this service and can let me know what the deal with them is please? also how do they know if firstly I have a cable feed and secondly that its live?

answers on a postcard please

royal mail came with mine and when i was on the phone 2 them the lass says she needed 2 send some1 out as she says my feed was not live but it was as i had a clone modem running and a eurovox so i dont think they can as she was wrong..

when they sent someone out did they come to your house at all ? or did they just do it at the cab?

cable man · 15-05-10, 09:46 PM

didnt come 2 the house at all, but he did phone after and he says its all working and i told him that i have had it working all weekend, so what he did was a mystery 2 me, as it was all working b4 he went 2 the box.... I think they send him just see if you have been disconnected from box then if so hook you back up...

Ok last question what make and model are the wireless routers they send? if anyone could give me version numbers aswell that would be spot on. basicly I want to know if anyone has managed to flash them with DDWRT or similar!

Its a D-link wireless 'N' router they send now, (Not the netgear)

Yep you can... not sure what version i had as i am at work now but i believe there was only one version that did not support it.

I have installed DDWRT and works sweet. Let me know if you need files etc or link for the files... will need to search when me back home tonight if anyone needs it.

Thanks
