Custom VMDG280 firmware?

[agw_01]

Hi,

I recently had 10Mbps Virgin cable installed and was a bit disappointed with the supplied router.

It would seem they've stripped out some of the more useful/specialised features.

Is there a custom firmware available or does anyone how to enable changing the default subnet mask? It being stuck at 255.255.255.x is a pain.

Also, is there a way to enable DDNS on the router?

Probably not going to get anywhere with this but I thought it worth asking. Google doesn't seem to bring anything up.

Cheers.

As far as I am aware, Virgin supplied hardware has restrictions in place to prevent flashing to other firmware, I believe it can be done but discussing bypassing hardware restrictions like this will be against the forum policies.

Besides, Virgin generally buy the cheapest gear they can and work from there, your best bet is to buy new hardware and work with that.
