Huawei/Vodafone HG556A Router

[Andrevanv]

Hi, I bought a Huawei HG556a (Branded Vodafone "Echolife" "Home Gateway") from Makro in Centurion a few months ago- I have returned it for repair by Vodacom and got it back some weeks later. The intermittent dropping of the WiFi service now appears fixed. It still has gliches which I dont expect from a supposedly reputable firm and manufacturer. Now it wont automatically start (you have to manually do it) the 3G service- it started automatically previously. Problems remaining from before: My HP Officejet printer is recognised by the gateway- I can see its details in the advanced settings pages but I cannot access it from a connected Laptop. Although I can apparently see the folders/files on my 'shared' 1TB HDD connected to the gateway via USB, my laptop reports only 30GB of disk space on the drive, all free??? This product appears to be half-baked- it has the latest firmware (26?). Any suggestions.

Thanks
