Newbie form Tesco

[#1]

Hi this is my first post.  I have ordered Plusnet unlimited and am moving from Tesco.net.  Does anyone know if my Speedtouch router will work with Plusnet or whether it is locked to Tesco? It has never dropped out nor given any other problems for 2 years so I am reluctant to change the router unless I have to.  I have ordered a Plusnet router just in case. What do I have to do to the router settings to set up the Plusnet account?
Many thanks,
~Stcks~

Hi and Welcome
I think you should be okay.  I've never heard of any references of Tesco locking their hardware and in a worst case scenario, we can either send you a router or alternatively, you should be able to flash yours with a non-ISP dependant version of firmware.

[#3]

which speedtouch is your tesco router?
PN currently supply speedtouch 585 v7. I do belive PN also dont lock the firmware which is the right thing to do as you will own it on deffered fees till the end of contract

[#4]

Correct - We do not lock firmware.

[#5]

is that TR** thingy me jig setup now to auto setup the routers?

[#6]

Yep, the TR-yerknow-069-whatshisname-router-setup-thingymajig is auto configuring routers for new customers.

I think it's been on for two weeks.
There is currently no TR-069 for Madasafish customers.

[#12]

The blog post about it dates from the 6th of August, so I'd say a little more than two weeks.

[#13]

I believe that it was turned off, and then back on again since that point.

[#14]

Thanks guys - looks like I should be OK with the help of the links you have given me.
Cheers.
