    Silly question probably.

    I was at a friends last night trying to re-configure their BT broadband router and ran out of time. Since they had a USB modem I decided to take away the BT router and configure at my place and drop it back when I had it sorted. Got their BT login, settings and all the hardware.

    Can I configure and test this on my Eircom DSL line at home or not ?

    Thanks

    What were you trying to reconfigure that took so much time?

    If you put in the standard eircom username and password it should work with Eircom no problem.

    Got connected to the router but it was dog slow and it would not connect to the internet for me. So I decided to take it away and maybe do a firmware update and set it up from scratch after that.

    I'll try it with the Eircom settings. I presume it wouldnt work with the BT login on my Eircom line ?

    Hi

    It wont work unless you change the username and password.

    If you are connected to a BT line you need to use theirs to connect as Eircom Radius Server will reject any other username and viceversa..
