arg... Marconi has done it again. they maid the ultimate piece of shyt.
the premium combo has: Wi-Fi ( that actually sometimes works :D ) USB (i dont even want to try getting that to work ) and LAN.

whats some of the problems. ( bear with me im tired so if I forget something pls add)

you cant change your LAN IP. ( it stays 10.0.0.2 ) and i tried everything.
in 10.0.0.2 i clicked LAN connections, changed Ip clicked apply. clicked save config ( just to make sure it saved it) and save.
router freezes unplugged router plugged back in, ipconfig /renew alas its still 10.0.0.2

now some of you who are familiar with this router might say how did you get into the router interface? well thats cos thats another problem. go to 10.0.0.2 and its a Picasso painting. i blank spaces and jumbled sections.

you might think to reset the router to fix this ( or to reset it cos you messed in the settings and want to go back to factory defaults)
BUT GUES WHAT
this is the only router ( and electrical instrument come to think of it ) where the reset button doesnt reset the router. its all just as it was before the reset :confused:

and lets say you are a cybertrade over ADSL user. ( or you just have more than one user name and pass and want to connect both )
but erm... GUES WHAT
this router can only go bridge or routered. not both :eek: talk about taking a step back.

im gonna stop typing cos my eyes hurt and im irritating my self about this.so im just gonna say
DONT GET THIS ROUTER. if you go to a Telkom branch to swap your 5th blown router and the hand you a premium combo. tell then to @#$% in there *$%@#

Don't have the same problem on mine - no problem changing the IP.
Also - Holdi the reset button in for more than 5 seconds defaults the router after about 20 seconds
