[Chester LUG] BT WiFi routers

[Sebastian Arcus]

Back to the topic of BT routers and BTOpenZone. I'm just in the process 
of reconfiguring a 2Wire (second generation) BT router. First off, it 
comes preconfigured with WEP for the regular wifi - but WPA-PSK for the 
BTFusion part (which I think is used by their silly cordless wifi phones 
- if I'm not mistaken). Go figure. The cordless phones need more 
security then the regular business users with their laptops etc.

Secondly, I've changed to WPA-PSK the regular wifi, but when I tried to 
change the LAN IP ranges - it restarted and jumped back to WEP.

I've also disabled BTOpenZone on this router (which, by the way, has a 
tab in the configuration pages showing how many devices are connected at 
this moment in time) - but after I restarted the router - was enabled 
again! This router is heading straight for the bin I'm afraid.
