I get a dialog box which says “Incorrect Password!!” Thanks once again MWEB. I entered the password and clicked the next button and it should now start flashine the unit back to default….but wait…. The software finds the Device… and then, like in the documentation asks for the device password… (The Default should be 1234). Connect to the devices webpage with the before mentioned username and password and then run the tool.
but in our case MWEB have stuffed this up again and you would have to use 192.168.2.2. The Process goes as follows… Make sure you can ping the device on 192.168.1.2. And as far as I can see the EDIMAX software is the better one and should work perfectly on the device even though it is a ZyXel ( ) Yay EDIMAX!! You can find the tool here…. Wait… who is EDIMAX? OK, so it turns out that EDIMAX is a company that makes and sells these routers and ZyXel just kinda resells them……and EDIMAX provides a tool to flash the device over the Ethernet port and not just the. So I looked at the source code of the repeaters web interface and saw…. So I contacted ZyXel and they said that they are not allowed to change the ISP’s perversion of their software as they would then have an unhappy client……. (I am sure that ICASA has made it illegal to ISP lock hardware? I have reported this to them aswell) MWEB eventually conceded that the device has been locked and no-one is permitted to unlock the device and change it’s settings. So I called MWEB and they said “Sorry, you should be able to upgrade if you go to the manufacturers website.” So I kept insisting that MWEB has ISP locked the device and they should provide me with a way to unlock it. I Tried to upgrade the router and got the message “Incorrect firmware version”. I then reset the router to it’s default values by holding the little key button on the front for 15 or so seconds – restarted the router using the switch and then logged in to it via an Ethernet cable with the username: admin and password:1234. bin format and can be found here ( v2_V1.00(AANK.1)C0.zip ). I visited the ZyXel homepage and downloaded the original and updated firmware. I decided to return this “Extender” back to it’s default state without the FON part and this is what I have done so far: Back to the Wifi Extender (or repeater) ! The ZyXel WRE2205 v2 is what MWEB is shipping with their “FON” Network package.
