I'm troubleshooting...this Telkom ADSL WiFi4 port wifi router which is as old as the hills. Anyone using one?

I got the one without the wireless - ADSL Router Pots 4-Port

Same firmware, AFAIK:

Firmware Version: CX82xxx_4.1.0.9
Customer Software Version: 4.1.0.9_F2_MAR_03

Yep. Same firmware, but mine running software version 4.1.0.9_F2_MAR_04

Do you know the router well?

Sorry, had to go out...

Yeah, well, fairly well. had it for 5 years .

I can't promise I can help, but what's your problem?

Thanks. Issue resolved. I've added you to my little Black Book for any future problems.

These modems are like the General Electric appliances of the 1950's. They work like a charm forever They don't make them like this anymore.

I would tend to agree there. This one spent two years being toted about in my toolbox for testing purposes until my linksys died and I had to re-instate it as my personal internet connection. The interface is horrific, but you get used to it. You can set it up for multiple sessions in both bridge and non-bridged mode, and it only ever gets re-booted by eskom. It's survived lightning strikes here that have killed phones and pc's, and best of all, it's better than my vodacom e220 3g!
