    Darn! :(

    I thought for sure the pop-blockers would do it (as your symptom sounded soooo familiar to my similar problem in the past)

    About the only other things i can think of is resetting your IE to defaults (in case security/privacy settings too high or there's a conflict between the router and an addon) See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Reset-Internet-Explorer-8-settings

    Otherwise, i think you're forced to do a router reset to factory defaults (and have to redo all the settings)

    Or, finally, throw the darn router out and get a new one :dead:

    nope still dont work >_< and if i reset factory settings,what will it reset and change?
  3. LookinAround TechSpot Chancellor Posts: 7,699   +40

    all settings return to the factory defaults (i.e. the way it was set when you first bought it). The logon defaults should also be admin / admin again.

    how do i do that? and will it change my pass for wireless?
  5. LookinAround TechSpot Chancellor Posts: 7,699   +40

    1) Yes. A reset will reset all the options on your router back to factory defaults (including logon id/password as well as your all your wireless settings - including SSID and password)

    2) But did you buy the Huawei Echolife HG520s yourself? I tried to take a quick look at it and i suspect it may be supported by your ISP. If so, you're best to contact your ISP about the reset as they may want you to also set special options specific to your ISP internet connection service

    You really need to "bite the bullet", reset your router and attempt to login with defaults. As mentioned before, you'll then need to reset all the options (e.g. including your wireless settings/encryption/etc)

    If you have a simple cable connection you should be OK but other connection types (like PPPoE) may also require assistance from your ISP to reset the correct values.

    If you need it, you can download the router's user manual if you register with Huawei here.
    > You might also join their own forums here to talk to others using your same router

    G'luck! :)

    hmmm ok............... we have a problem, it still doesent work...

    you still can;t login after resetting both the router and internet explorer??? (and you don't have CAP LOCK set do you?) cause all i can otherwise suggest is it's time to get a new router :dead: Sorry

    omg, i am seriously just fcked off with talk talk, i cant even just play my game or just even do a normal game online on it since i lag, i, i am just going to forget about everything, an smash my rotour to bits and show it to talk talk
  11. LookinAround TechSpot Chancellor Posts: 7,699   +40

    Wait a minute.... TalkTalk is your ISP??? Then you should call them for support as i can now see this is a combination ADSL modem and router they support.

    You can get the user manual directly from them here as well as find router info on their web site (e.g. see here). If you still can't login to it you should call them for information needed about the reset

    hmmmm ok....... let me check with my neighbour if he can do something

    @jobeard
    All said and true. In fact, i prefer keeping ipv6 off myself. But i think you perhaps missed my point(s) in my earlier posts. I was specifically addressing your statement
    At minimum the statement needs a caveat / "heads up" for Win 7 users. Please note:
    1) Win 7 users who turn off ipv6 need be warned they may find some of their Windows apps no longer working and
    2) !! HomeGroups (which are new to Win 7) will simply not work with ipv6 off !! (The Homegroup replaces the old tried and true "Workgroup")

    In fact i'd take it one step further, a Win 7 user can't even create a Homegroup if ipv6 is turned off. See the result below
