I bought a HUAWAI HG556A vodafone router off trademe and was told that I can change some settings and use it to connect to the telecom network. I found another post on this site but it was a bit vague and I cant quite work out how to do it. I went into the 192.168.1.1 menu and used the username: vodafone and password: vodafone. When in there I tried changing the details when I found them to "myusername"@xtra.co.nz and my own password but it didn't seem to do it. I also just tried user@xtra.co.nz and the password abc123 but still no joy :-( If anyone can help me do this it would be really appreciated, I could imagine that if I called telecom and asked them they would just try to sell me one of their routers
