    the ssid is now back showing up even though the service was discontinued last july

    the new myeir software seems not to have a setting to disable it included .

    theres no options to do it in the user panel either

    It potentially is under "hidden" menu as many ISP have done on their soft/FW

    it would be a pain if everybody has to ring them up to remove it , ringing them is not something you want to do unless you have 2

    I ended up flashing my old Eir F2000 with V22 firmware for Spark (a NZ ISP) found here:

    https://openwrt.org/toh/huawei/hg659_b#oem_firmware

    On the plus side it got rid of the Eir WiFi SSID and it added a VOIP option to the router. The downside is I had to manually adjust numerous settings to get the router to work with my ISP as it is setup for New Zealand and the settings backup from the Eir firmware didn't work. However, once setup it works fine for me - I also tested the backup and restore function with my new settings and this works fine also.

    If you go down this route make sure you factory reset the router before updating the firmware, this will restore the default settings including login details (from the sticker on the back).

    did this also block out the eir remote logins , i rebooted a few times to remove the eir wifi ssid and you get a raft of remote logins leading to it appearing again ?

    I'm not sure about the remote logins but the Eir WiFi SSID has never appeared since changing to the new firmware. Also, the user customizable Guest Network has been restored which can be enabled / disabled.

    Does anyone know how to get any updates to the official Eir firmware for the F2000 (if there even is such a thing) ?
