Modems.

Hi all. Hope everyone had a good Easter. Just a quick question. I have a couple of hardly used vodafone modems (I think they are T2) question is.
Is it easy to reprogram them to make them open for any network. Seems such a shame to just throw them in bin.
Cheers all.

They are probably modem/routers, without know the exact model number its hard to say, if they are modem/routers they there should work on any existing ADSL connection.

Dont know why but my reply didnt post earlier so try again. Yup I know exactly what they are Davo but I dont want to just discard them. The will not work on any ADSL at the moment as they are currently programmed to Vodafone so I want to find out how to reprogram them, I can then give them to anyone who needs them to use their own broadband.

If they're the white Huawei ones, you log in using "advanced" as both username and password. Then you'll be able to change the ADSL settings.

Are they adsl2+? Really need the model number here.

They may not be any use to most people. The trouble with wireless devices is that they get outdated pretty quick. Some of the older ones would be wireless "B" or "G", later we had wireless "N", while the devices shipping today have the latest wireless "AC" and are dual band as our bandwidth needs have exploded. Every house now had multiple devices trying to upload large images and trying stream HD videos simultaneously. There is also newer VDSL fibre to the cabinet technology which the older modems will not support.

Yes they are the white ones Maki and I will try that, Mass they are less than 12 months old and we are using one in shop at the moment so not outdated yet.

Again, they WILL work on any ADSL connection, just log onto the admin page and change the username/password and maybe the VPI/VCI (depending on the ISP settings)
