    I have a Vodafone HG556a router (ver c) (brand new - left after landline broadband was a failure). I was using an o2 hotshot device which broke and stuck in a contract 'till Oct. I am now trying to connect an o2 stick dongle to this router (one which I had before my up-grade to hotshot). It is showing as wifi connected but won't recognise the dongle (says unknown device in port 3) - I have read somewhere that you can change the country settings to Spain and this should work - I can't find anywhere on the page to change the settings - can someone talk me through this PLEASE ?? I have got into the page which lets you change ports, passwords etc. but not sure if this is the right place. Have tried the 192.168.1.1 and admin - VF-IRhg556 (doen't do anything). Vodafone as user and Vodafone as password got me into this page.

    If not, does anyone have a hotshot device they wish to swap for this -

    Sorry for the long thread - sooo frustrating!!! Thanks
