I fixed my 2wire 2701hgv W drop outs!
There are many discussions going about the 2wire 2701hgv w modem and the ongoing drop out issues being experienced with BigPond.
My Drop outs where very frequent and were always relating to the DSL Light flashing red every 5 – 8 minutes. Didn't need much data to go through the network either, just a couple of pages of facebook.com or domain.com.au and it would fail again.
I have been on many calls with Telstra to try and get this resolved. I have tried everything to fix it but with no luck. HOWEVER, today i noticed a comment on a thread that suggests that one should never run their modem on 802.11b/g and try switching to 802.11b only. I thought to try this and when I did this the drop out issues completely stopped.
I have been surfing away for the afternoon; have run testing with 2 people using different laptops, (vista and mac) and tried everything to recreate a drop out. We just can’t seem to get it to happen now. I am VERY HAPPY. I have not had one drop out yet. Now while I'm saying it might be early, i would normally have had about 15 or 20 drop outs by now and can say that I have had 0 ZERO!!!
Here is how to change your wireless mode to 802.11b to stop the 2wire 2701hgv W from dropping out on a ADSL 2 connection.
Open your preferred web browser and go to http://10.0.0.138/
Click on the home network tab at the top of the page.
On the right hand side you will see 'wireless settings', click on the edit settings button.
Scroll down until you see additional settings.
Change the wireless mode to 802.11b
Click Save.
When the page refreshes, you can close the browser.

My only question now is WHY has Telstra not come to realize that this will fix the drop out issue on the 2wire 28701hgv W modem?

I work in wifi tech support at BigPond and I always advise customers to do this to fix adsl issues on adsl 2... alternately changing to 802.11g only but changing the maximum connection rate to 18Mbits works a bit better and is a bit faster

徵高收入稅
劉創楚 乘風遊
今年西方大國兩台總統大選，美國是鐵定由民主黨的奧巴馬對共和黨候選人，後者說不定要等好幾個月才四選一出現真命天子，但不論是誰，立場一定保守，尤以「不加稅」是一步不讓，奧巴馬則早把「巴菲特規則」列入政綱，擺明車馬要年收入百萬美元者稅率加倍：將資產增值稅由百分之十五加至百分之三十。這明明是左右派對壘，但奧巴馬遮遮掩掩，堅決否認是社會主義者，藉股神的「公平建議」來過關。相比之下，法國社會黨的總統候選人賀蘭（Francois Hollande）要坦白得多，話法國的商界高層年均收入逾二百萬歐羅非常不值，認為加高收入稅是理直氣壯。早前他已宣布年收十五萬歐羅的稅率，由百分之四十一加至四十五，最近更把年入一百萬歐羅的稅率加至百分之七十五！
賀蘭敢明目張膽加富人稅，或因法國政情不同。在他連番宣布加稅之後，民調仍維持他於大選中最終擊敗尋求連任之法總統薩爾科齊。由於民調是在加富人稅公布之後，可以說加稅已得選民祝福。
物極必反，西方從戴卓爾夫人與列根減稅成風之後，至今實行超過四十年。今年趁「佔領華爾街」運動進入高稅率年代也說不定。但左右派加稅與減稅之爭，最終不決於思想與理念，而決諸事實會否「高稅率反而少收稅款」？英、美四十年前用「供應學派」經濟政策減稅，稅率下降，稅收反而增加，這是低稅率長達兩代的原因。
紅白天驕．絕嶺雙雄
康子 靈氣逼人
看俄羅斯總理普京，今年（二○一二年）再度當選總統，非常佩服。
再看他當選後，與現總統梅德韋傑夫，雙雙滑雪度假，還穿上情侶（？）裝，一紅一白，則簡直不輪到你不感動。
相信感動的不止是小市民，中國人常言道「兄弟如手足」，兩個男人稱兄道弟，但往往敵不過女人、錢銀或權力的瓜葛。
去到政治的最高領域，普京與梅德韋傑夫，不論是兄或弟、總統或總理，才真的是經得起考驗，堪稱有情有義，天下無雙。
不久前，英女皇慶祝登基六十周年，一個女人做到這個地步，已經極之難得，不過筆者仍感歎她「兄弟」與「朋友」沒助力，美中不足。
要兄弟得力？尤其是在政界，愈高位置，近乎愈沒有可能。但是好個俄羅斯，偏偏出了一對普京與梅德韋傑夫，正是當今世界政治舞台的絕代雙驕。
英女皇何曾有好拍檔？皇妹瑪嘉烈，是刁蠻公主，歷屆首相縱使偶有投緣，可惜是五年一任。
男人找政治拍檔，更是難上加難，即使是親兄弟，亦常有互插出賣。試訪問英國前首相貝里雅與白高敦，或中國的薄熙來與王立軍，說起來，必定是一字一淚。
即使兄弟不負心，但水準不夠，亦有可能佗累你，像香港的曾蔭權與曾俊華，有心無力，算不上是理想拍檔。
至於普京與梅德韋傑夫，最厲害之處，是在普京當第二任總統，礙於憲法，不能繼續連任，被逼下台時，輪到後者繼任總統，本來大有機會培植自己的新勢力。
但是梅德韋傑夫在任期內，卻為普京鋪路，不惜修改俄羅斯憲法，盡心盡力，只為恭迎「大佬」回歸。
而普京真的順利回歸，做兄弟去到這個地步，真的是天地動容，不管往後變化，只是這些年的經歷，已足成為天下儀範矣。www.winghongdon.com
