How to request a functionality addition to the Home Hub 3

[gouledw]

This is a friendly community, not a spiteful one. The forum mods have many things to do, including fixing more immediate problems like people without a telephone line or broadband connection at all. Think yourself lucky you can get both at the moment.

bt isnt best so far they are overpriced,bt visions doesnt have any new programmes worth watching

the bt homehub is backdoor survelience snoop for bt to spy n monitor on what you are doing

bt is blocking p2p2 networks and torrents and they r controlled by the mpaa riia and greedy film companies in hollywood and record companies

after all bt if u cant fix the loopback problem on your router then get out and sort it out i neverh eard anyone having problem with virgin boradband i rather go with virginmedia 200 fibre optic line when it comes bt suxs and capp you

Yasi Grist! Demand, demand, demand!

Ok here's what you want to do.

Open an SSH session on your Home hub 3 (they removed telnet completely for some reason!)

Then type the following commands:

conf set admin/rmt_mng/ports/%/enabled 1

conf set admin/rmt_mng/ports/%/port 2

conf reconf 1

Oh wait a second. You can't SSH in on a stock Home Hub 3. You have to unlock it and remove the SSH LAN firewall entries first. You could always try and get one of the BT helldesk personnel to remote in and do it for you of course.

As a footnote. Yes this post is a bit flippant, however the above commands are real and do set it up for loopback which by the way, is switched off as default in ALL OpenRG firmwares.

[davidandtimmy]

well if u got the right code to modify it then how come they can update the code through the firewall??simple they must know how to change the firewall settings and thust implete the code into it well bthomehub team getting wiritng into it and sort ito ut fast night
