In the TCP/IP box there is both an IP address and a Default Gateway for my old router (192.168.7.2 & 192.168.7.1 respectively) - currently in use. Is it simply a matter of deleting these?
Thanks in advance. Conrad

I have now connected the new Thomson router - sadly ,in retrospect, the first box Plusnet sent me would probably have worked had I known then to 'Obtain an IP address automatically.''
Thanks again.

Currently it is flashing on and off - forgive my ignorance: how do I disable it?
Would you also say whether it is best to leave the router always on or allow it to go off when my PC is off (I am being moved over to 21CN trial)?

Regarding wireless - it should say in the manual but I haven't got one so I can't help
Edit - in the v6 it is under Access Point settings

With earlier versions of firmware this was reported as being unreliable, but the current firmware works ok for me.

In the meantime I had googled for an answer and came up with this link for anyone who may be interested
http://cherrybyte.blogspot.com/2009/03/thomson-speedtouch-585v7-rebooting-turn.html ; I am yet to find a manual for the device.
Certainly holding in the Wireless button is the simplest way - though I have learned a little more about the Router by adjusting the setting in the configuration page.
I am grateful to all who offerred me help - hopefully I can do likewise for someone else in the future.

For some reason - finding documentation for these products can take a bit of hunting around.
I'm on a different PC at the moment so can't find the manual specifically for the v7
but this may help some more:

At first I wondered why Thomson did not make it easy to get hold of these until I went to their site - the web enquiry box http://www.thomson.net/GlobalEnglish/customer-service/ProductsAndServices/Pages/ContactForm.aspx was out of order
and it was 50p /minute to ring their customer services!

not sure if you ever found your manual, but there's one here:

or possibly here:

I also tried a couple of other files - but still no luck.
