OK, I will get a new laptop soon. The new one will have 11g wireless. My
current only has 11b. Reason to unpack the SpeedTouch 716 v5, to see if
it can replace my perfectly functioning Vigor 2600we, which can only do
11b. It never failed me, and is very stable.
My home network is 10.x.x.x, and in whatever form you connect the 716 to
the PC: wireless, UTP, or USB, it will NOT accept any address except in
the bloody 192.168.1.x, as it is 192.168.1.254 itself.
OK, I unhooked a PC, and attached it with a crossed UTP to the 716, so I
could upgrade the firmware, which was already pretty old. All went fine,
but in all configuration settings, there is no place to fucking set the
network to 10.3.3.x.
Isn't a router something to *enable* communications?
Back in the box. I'll buy a Draytek Vigor 2910VG or something that works
