i dont have the router myself, but unless you can find hacked firmware or unless the router itself allows you to specify specific ISP information, i think you may be locked to talk talk, from a quick google, it seems only talk talk have use the router and no one has really either had any trouble using it with another ISP or has even tried.

The reason why it might work is that Tiscali and TalkTalk are the same company now, but they still have to support both @tiscali.co.uk and @talktalk.co.uk users.

Irrelevant! It will work unless the router is locked to TalkTalk and I doubt that it is!

Not irrelevant.

Have you ever seen a locked TalkTalk router?

Do you understand? Probably not.

1 Connect the router to your PC using the Ethernet cable, connect the PSU and power up
2 Access router admin page by browsing to http://192.168.1.1
3 Enter the username and password - these are both admin by default
4 Under "Login Settings" on the main screen change the username and password to your ISP's username and password
5 Click SUBMIT to save changes
