Why would UPC make such poor decisions regarding their standard choice of box? Is it purely down to keeping it as simple as possible for their support staff? or is it whom ever gives them the best deal on bulk buys regardless of features, or even a combination of both? Do they replace stock firmware with their own locked down version regardless of box type?UPC must be aware from forums such as this that there are an awful lot of savvy users who at the very least require the ability to bridge and port forward, yet they consistently block such features? They must know that aside from the generation of users who only need to email or Skype their loved ones in foreign lands that the fast moving pace of technology in today's world is closely followed by and much better understood by the current generation of enthusiastic users who were born knowing this technology as a accepted way of life which for them has always been there and not something they had to study hard to grasp. I'm sure there is some highly paid laws of probability strategist behind their logic, but it plain sucks.

Just installed one for a friend and can't get the router to work, will give UPC a call tomorrow but if I can get this working tonight it would be great. Tried blanks and admin password combos but no luck. Tried a hard reset for 10 secs but can't get router connected to net, any ideas?

The assumption at this point is that the switch mode script is either removed from the firmware or they've restricted access somehow, which would render the HTML useless for the time-being. In another thread, it was suggested to me that a backup configuration done on a Dutch TC2700 in bridge mode might restore correctly on our Irish models and make bridge mode happen. I'm looking into obtaining a backup configuration and as soon as I know more, I'll make a post. Now the WEP excuse is basically telling UPC that you have old laptops that only support WEP encryption. Since the TC2700 doesn't feature WEP, they have exchanged many customers' TC2700 modems with a Cisco EPC3925, and you'll certainly be able to bridge that. I'm using one myself. So just make a good case for needing a router that supports WEP and they might oblige you. Some people have had to fight to get them to comply, while others get quick co-operation.

There seems to be a remote management ip address on the modem which does not accept Admin Admin. Maybe bridging can be enabled via that log in? Ah boards, always making me spend more then I wanted haha. That is bought :-P. Whats the wep excuse? PM me baby ;-)

They are an amazing piece of kit. The range of the thing is just baffling.-like there is no walls or ceilings in the house. Also that link is for the best place/price I could find it. I sent back my TC7200 using the WEP excuse given to me by the UPC guy, and I got sent a 3925 which luckily enough bridged out of the box. So no complaints here.
