Right, a friend of mine is on O2 and uses the standard O2 router. I want to access the router stats (Line attenuation etc) and cant seem too. Have tried logging in as "SuperUser" and "O2Br0ad64nd" and this didnt work. Any ideas?
 
You should have gotten an email:

To ensure that your O2 Broadband always performs at the highest level, we occasionally carry out updates on our O2 Wireless boxes.

That’s why we’re writing to you to let you know that over the next few days, we're going to update yours. You’ll see your O2 Wireless box turn itself off and back on again, it’ll take around 30 seconds.

These updates will increase the security of your O2 Wireless box.

There are two changes we need to make you aware of:

Password to access the Router

We’re going to set up a password to protect the settings on your O2 Wireless Box. You don’t need to do anything. You’ll only need it if you want to change the settings. (In most cases, you’ll probably never need it.) The password is the serial number of your O2 Wireless Box.

You might find that it takes longer to access the settings pages on your router at http://o2wirelessbox.lan, this is because of the new security features we’ve put in place to protect you online.

Wireless Network Name

If you ever have to reset your wireless box, it will set up a new wireless network name to increase the security of your O2 Wireless Box. You don’t need to do anything to make this happen either.

If you would like to see more information around this, here's where you can find it here

So the password is the Serial Number of the router, what about User Name?

Thanks for the reply.
 
Not working, he has tried the User name "admin" and password as the serial number. Any others?
 
Lovely Job, found the stats. Anyone know why he would have been put on a 10db noise margin? :\
 
Constant disconnections or restarting the router automatically sets you on a higher level noise margin at the DSLAM..
 
He turns his modem off over night, would this cause the increase?

EDIT:
Would he benefit from a 3db profile?

Okay, he had the ring wire still in...

What kind of increase would a 3db noise margin get him?
