Help please - Novice trying to get my Chromecast set up

I found the hopefully very helpful advice here https://community.plus.net/forum/index.php?topic=123894.0 and I've done step 2 but now I'm lost! Where do I put the code? Should I insert the code for all the remaining steps one at a time and voila? I can see the Chromecast listed under Home network but I'm still lost.
Any help gratefully appreciated - thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums.
Your last post might just have the right clue. If you have the PN TG582n router then go here - http://192.168.1.254/cgi/b/games/cfg/?be=0&l0=3&l1=4 - you will be prompted to log on. On that page you can enable UPnP - may be that will help?

Quote from: Joders Thank you Townman. I tried your link but it's already enabled. I found this https://support.unlocator.com/customer/portal/articles/1501508-how-to-set-up-technicolor-router-for-... but I don't understand where I would put the code.
Reading through all of that informs me that the code needs to be put into the router via a telnet session run from a DOS prompt. If you don't know how to do this, you should not try.
This is hacking the router and if you get it wrong it will screw up your normal internet access.
Frankly this looks like a hack to use US Nextflix instead of UK services. PlusNet DNS servers ought to give you access to legitimate services.
Quote from: AndyH Are you trying to set up Chromecast with a US Netflix account?
Quote from: Joders No, just get it working for the first time.
Anyone know why these guides suggest hacking the DNS servers and redirecting calls to Google's DNS servers?
