When we moved we had to switch isp.

As a result, I have a VF Home Gateway sitting here doing nothing.

Can I give it away? Our VF account is closed.

Yep, you should be fine to give it away. Otherwise our stores take them for recycling so please don’t send it to landfill!

always handy to keep one as a backup for fault finding or if your current one dies

Do they work when not connected to VF? Not tied in somehow?

if its the new Ultrahub some guy was trying to change DHCP to PPPoE and remove VLAN10 but the settings wouldn't save making the router useless unless the new RSP is also DHCP/VLAN10

Hey @Geektastic

 

 

 

@konfusd is right, you can do whatever you like with your HG659 - just not the landfill. However, if you had VOIP/SIP please factory reset the router before giving it away.

 

 

 

 





Kind regards,
