  • Seems like only way to go then is to reset the router, pencil in the reset hole in the back. Unless the user/pass are yours from Plusnet

    Will it mean my connection goes down?

    It will ... Have you 1) an ethernet cable 2) the details for your ISP adsl login for plusnet adsl. May be better not do it for now, are you trying to set up the netgear as an access point to extend your wireless?

    off the top of my head I think there's a tick-box in the gt's web interface you need to tick to allow use as an access point....don't have mine connected (it's only a spare to play with) so can't check right now...

    yes, or any other computer via an ethernet cable, so you can access the netgear's web interface to set it up as an access point. (obviously if using the one that's currently connected to the thomson, you'll have to disconnect the thomson from the pc first)
