Hi group.

I am trying to set up a Speedtouch 585(v6) router through the web interface
(192.168.1.254}.

I need to change the default login address to give better security but
cannot find a way to do it.

During "Easy Setup" it asks for an alternative Username & Password, but when
I enter these & it finishes configuring, it sends me back to the login page.
Entering the new Username & Password (or the default) does not let me back
in & means doing a hard reset.

Also, (inToolboxUser Management), I have tried setting up a Password for
the default login address with the same results as above. Also tried setting
up a New User, but trying to set that as the Default login gives the same
result.

Any assistance gratefully received.

I remember having similar problems when setting up my 536 a few years ago.
Every time I used the Setup routine I got nowhere. I think I solved it by
bypassing the Setup routine and going in directly later on in the process. I
think you have to go through the Setup routine once. If I have to do it
again I know I could have a problem but eventually I have always managed to
get it to work.

There is an IP on kitz website that allows you access to the monitoring
software. Username 'administrator' and no password.

Hi Douglas. Thankyou for the info. I was just about to give up with this one
(but I don't like doing that .

I'd not heard of the Kitz site but I've bookmarked it now. I found a page on
there which mentions a conflict between IE7 & the 585v6 which causes the
problem I was having.

The solution it suggests is to access the router via the Command Prompt &
enter;

{Administrator}=system config digestauth=disabled
{Administrator}=saveall
{Administrator}=exit

Lo & behold I could then log in via IE7! Then I discovered that powering the
router down & restarting it gives the original problem again so it's
necessary to enter the instruction through telnet again, but that's no
problem I can live that.

I've not finished configuring it yet but when setting the date & time I
found the Month field is stuck on 06 & refuses to budge, so it looks as
though this router is more than a bit buggy!

I previously searched the Speedtouch site & notice they've not produced any
firmware updates for it. It's really annoying there's no mention there
either of the IE7 conflict.

Thankyou again Douglas your help was very much appreciated.
