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

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.
