Petition title Restrict wifi

Hi Thomas

Something else occurred to me that i meant to ask you and forgot - was just wondering where you came across the info about the Eco button on the Tecnhicolour 582n - it's just i have been surfing looking for information about the 582n and I can't find any reference to that feature - even the user set up guide provided by the manufacturer just gives different set up instructions for a wired and a wireless application and there is nothing about this feature in that guide - just wanted to be sure since am thinking of ordering a broadband package [and having to sign up to a fixed term contract] which uses this router and wanted to be sure that I could use this router before signing up to the contract.

Thanks

steph

Yes Steph. It will turn off the wireless and become a wired router.
The only possible  down side to this is if you turn off the power to the modem and then turn it back on it may default to being back on again, and so you have to press the button again. Just something to be aware of.

Hi Steph
This modem is supplied to Internet providers and it is bit of an issue as no manual is provided from the manufacturer. It is expected that the Internet retailers put their own branding information on it and also write instructions for the end user on how to use it. This is the brochure link which has the small bit of info about eco.

Most manufactures do this ECO sort of thing to reduce power consumption not reduce EMF radiation so that is something to look for when buying. Less power will typically mean less radiation. This is not always the case tho.  I have an Eco cordless phone which does not transmit until it rings (in use) the downside is if you miss the call it displays as such on the screen and while it is in this mode the wireless is on and transmitting. As I am not sensitive it is as not as big an issue, but for others it will be.

Hi Thomas

Thanks again for this info - just after emailing you I google searched for this router and stumbled on an online  set up guide which right at the end detailed the feature you had described - so many thanks for your help and info

Steph

steph, was thinking why don't you just go with ISP talk/talk, at least that way you know the 99p modem on ebay will  definitelywork, and I can help you with the setup if need be.
