Hello Again! I wanted to write up this post a lot earlier, but, it got delayed somehow. Here it is now: The BT Home Hub 3.0 Type A originally from (Siemens) Gigaset seems to be a nice router given the specifications as shown on the OpenWrt Wiki page . However, it also does not accept username(s) without the allowed domains (like @btbroadband.com, @btinternet.com, @btclick.com, ...) making it a "locked" router (unless your ISP doesn't use the username to authenticate). Fortunately, it can be "unlocked" in a similar manner to the BT Home Hub 2.0 Type B to accept any username and allow usage with other ISPs after its "retirement". Firmware Unlock: The guide as posted on now-defunct psidoc.com, relevant files and some firmware images are available here! Here is a video showing the process: Note: Video best viewed fullscreen in 1080p! Tweaks after Unlock: With SSH access, we can tweak some settings of the rout
I like to tinker with computers & gadgets ... and ... this blog'll document all of my "experiments"!!!
