October 17, 2025Oct 17 3BB installed a new G6605 router for me. Since then, I can see a media server in Explorer on my Windows network and also on my TV when selecting sources. Does anyone know what this is all about and how I can use it? The technicians at 3BB were unable to answer my question.
October 17, 2025Oct 17 I'm guessing you can start by plugging a storage drive with media into a USB port on the router.

I don't have a username or password! Access to this is restricted to service personnel from the internet provider, AIS/3BB in this case.

Where would they put the Serial Number or the Device Description? How would you know the model of the router? I'm suggesting that you might be being economical with the truth. Don't do that. Post a picture of that label. On that label is your username and password, like it is for everyone else.

Have you tried admin:admin? Go to address http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 then to enter the Username and Password. It's usually that or admin:(the last four digits of the MAC address on that label). Don't neglect to say thank you.

You know...the one you claimed was not there and didn't contain user data. You seem more interested in making a fool of yourself, than finding a solution and being grateful. So, get over yourself and let us know the result of the likely Username and Password you have been given. Remember that you were given a Username and Password in the original video. Did you even try that first? If that didn't work, then the second option that I gave you, should.

Shall we assume that you actually tried the password in the video or the option given to you here and it worked? It seems people lack even basic good manners here.
October 24, 2025Oct 24 Author So, experts, admin/admin definitely doesn't work. I tried that right after watching the video. Even with the D411 attached. It doesn't work. What am I overlooking on the label? The Wi-Fi password is there, I can see that clearly. But I can't see anything else, no matter how hard I try. What can you see that I can't?

October 24, 2025Oct 24 Author Why do some ISPs not disclose the access data for their routers? Internet service providers (ISPs) do this for several reasons, some technical, some strategic. Here is an overview of the most important motives: 1. Support and security reasons Avoiding misconfigurations: With free access, many users would change VLANs, PPPoE, or DNS settings, for example, and thus “crash” their Internet connection. Support would then have to spend a lot of time troubleshooting the problem. Network security: If passwords or admin access data are known, malware or third parties could more easily compromise the device, e.g., through remote access. 2. Remote maintenance and updates ISPs often manage firmware, security updates, and configurations centrally (e.g., VoIP, IPv6, TR-069 management). To maintain this control, full administrator access is not granted—otherwise, changes made by the user could disrupt or render remote maintenance unusable.
October 24, 2025Oct 24 The suggestion as I read it was admin:d411 If that doesn't work, try: user:user or user:d411 or admin:e4d411 or user:e4d411
October 24, 2025Oct 24 Giving up is for those with weak hearts and minds. Did your parents not teach you about perseverance? It is simply not plausible for the user to not have been given the username and password for the router. Did they not supply a manual? That would also be very unusual. How else would you change your WiFi password or some similarly basic task? I don't know who you asked at 3BB, but definitely the wrong person. If you tell them that you need to change your WiFi password that should work. If any of that fails to get the required result, then simply follow this link and pose the question here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/180446535798602/posts/2187429965100239/ There are people there with the same model of router, who are obviously signed in and showing the results.

Anyone who doesn't know that service providers sometimes don't want to disclose the necessary data should not claim here that “you have access data.” I had hoped to find people here who know what they're writing about. That was probably too much to ask.

There was no help at all! Thanks for nothing.
October 24, 2025Oct 24 @thpitsch You seem have a REALLY bad attitude problem. You should get some help with that or it will ruin you. You have had help from many people, including a link to people with the same router as yours. But yet you state that no one has helped you. That's not normal. Your mum isn't here with you. So if strangers help you, you should show gratitude. How can it be that every other poster here seems to think that you have a very poor attitude? Is everyone but you the bad person? Sort it out...it's not an attractive trait.
