Okay, I have a Bell 2Wire 2701HG-G modem that I can't sell or make any use of.
It's useless to me because:
1) The MDC is locked.
2) Browsing the web doesn't work: You get forwarded to a Bell setup page.
I already tried setting the DNS in TCP/IP settings on my comp and on the modem itself. Neither works.
Other than that, the modem connects and any "non-web" apps work just fine.

Try getting to this page
gateway.2wire.net/tech/upgrade.html
Then reflash with this firm

as with any reflashing there is a risk

I have a QWest 2701HG-D which sounds pretty much like yours ie only 5 ports including the phone. I have not tried flashing it as yet lol
Saying that I've no probs with it, runs fine even in the UK, so I probably wont.
If yours is no good to you as is, you're going to have to take the plunge sometime

Plenty of reading matter for you on the second link
If you are in the US, I believe 2Wire will JTag a fried router FOC

If I may ask, Majoram: which firmware did you end up using? I read pretty much everything from the provided links (thank you muchly to those who posted them) and I even translated the Spanish site... but I'm not 100% sure which firmware to use. Thanks in advance! Originally Posted by Sackboy No problem. It's the one in the second post. OR this site: http://bt2700hgv.tripod.com/ir1002700HGV.htm and look for "Installing...
just thought I'd mention the advance features DO work... just need to wait about 15 mins to an hour. I went to my modem page and found them. I now have content screening.
All the info is in this thread. You use your web browser to access the router Copy and paste this to your browsers address bar gateway.2wire.net/tech/upgrade.html Originally Posted by patioheater This link is dead.

Hi NewLogik, how were you able to get it to flash. I still get the 'page not found' error right after i press the update button. I have tried it with two different PC's and 4 different browsers. ): Please help me out here.
Thanks you very much guys ! That 2701HG-G (BELL firmware version) got very easily (5 mn) cracked with the 2wire_reinstall_voice_5.29.117.3.2sp firmware, now DSL WIFI works like a charm. Thanks again guys.
hey guys I actually got it to work sweet!!!!! But now the only concern is that the wifi or wireless on the modem is not working I tried playing around the Singtel firmware settings but no luck. To be more descriptive the wireless light is turned off, I just dont know how to get it started. Thanks You guys are awesome.
