Hi guys

Hope you can help, my o2 BB went live today, im on the home access package (adsl) as im out of LLU coverage, and for the life of me i cant get my linksys wag54gs to connect?? the crappy live box they sent me works fine, I tried calling their customer service but was told "sorry, we dont support 3rd party routers" Do any of you clever people know what im doing wrong? I've had a look on google but cant find anything relating to adsl, only adsl2+. and those settings dont work.

Thanks in advance

thanks for the quick reply, but those are the settings i tried, but it still wont connect, i get a green light for adsl but a red light on internet and it refuses to connect the dsl connection

the thing is im not on adsl2+ as im not in their LLU coverage, so im on the access system thats piggybacking bt wholesale, i think thats where the problem is as all the settings i find are for adsl2+. I can use the o2 box, but on most websites i have to refresh the page 5-10 times before it will be displayed?? thats why i wanted to try my trusty linksys.

hmmm, i tried that but it still wouldnt connect, someone told me that i need to leave the username and password blank, but the router wont save the settings without a username entered??

Finally got it sorted

after 2 hours on the phone to o2 they gave me the settings i needed and its all working! Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
