New Cablecom WLAN/VOIP Router Thomson TWG870

The new TWG8700UG Thomson Modem has a built in Wireless router. WPA/WEP key stamped on the bottom of the router.

I needed the admin password to change the key... and also to browse around the router and tweak it etc. Given that my WNDR3700 from Netgear is far superior, also wanted to disable the Wireless functionality.

Access is wide open, they have shipped it with the default username (blank) and default password ("admin")...

If you have this, you need to really tighten up the security on it.

BTW, technically speaking, it's a very funky router. Highly configurable, dual band , firewall etc. You can also config the VOIP settings. A lot to look over... I will do some performance tests to see if it can replace the Netgear WNDR3700, which is best of breed.
