Thanks for the manual. Great work.Questions about the general setup of Telstra's NBN-over-HFC service and the setting up of the connection.1/ I have a Telstra Gateway MAX which is currently operating on Telstra's own HFC network. If I were to enter all the correct login IP, nameserver, details stored in the NBN gateway, would it log in to the NBN service or is login restricted to a list of (say) MAC addresses.2/ Does the NBN gateway act as an 'Analog Attached Adapter' (ATA) and is the 'phone service delivered using VOIP protocol and can I disble the ATA in the gateway and use my own VOIP system to attach to Testra's (assumed)VOIP service?I didn't see any information about 'phone configuration in your manual and I haven't got NBN installed yet - trying to get ahead of the game.Thank again for the manual.Peter. There is no information about phone configuration in manual because there are no voip settings to configure it is automatically configured over the connection.For voice service you need to use a Telstra Gateway. You can't use a third party ATA as Telstra does not release its SIP settings.Any router can be used for Telstra NBN HFC service including Telstra Gateway Max. The Telstra connection does not rely on the MAC address of the gateway, Telstra NBN connection do not require a user name or password.If Gateway Max is C6300 model see for how to set it up.
Thanks so much for the reply.i understand I can't use Telstra VoIP with this modem in bridge mode. I don't want to use Telstra VoIP as it is expensive on my plan.i have a Netgear ATA that I have used up until now for a third party VoIP service.i can successfully use my Apple Airport wireless router with the F@st 5355 in bridge mode, however whenever I try to add the ATA by connecting to a port on either the F@st 5355 OR the Airport I lose my internet connection. The online light is no longer lit and the link light alternates between light blue and a darker blue.VoIP support queried the SIP ALG settings on the modem.
Is this information available?thanks. If the F@st5355 is in Bridge mode only one device can be connected to the gateway as there is only one external IP address. So the ATA should be connected to the Apple Airport and not to the F@st5355.I don't understand why you would lose the internet connection with ATA connected to Apple Airport. I use a My Netfone ATA connected to my F@st5355 gateway working in normal mode (Not Bridge) with no problems. The only time the ATA would not work is when the firewall on the F@st5355 was set to High or Custom.
The internet still worked. I have also used ATA with Modem in Bridge mode using another router.I don't know the SIP ALG setting on modem but theoretically these should have no effect with modem set to Bridge Mode. Telstra really chasing that paper, they want to control DNS so they can point your traffic at their CDN's to save big on bandwidth costs (without passing this onto the consumer might I add), which would be OK except for the fact that you are paying for crippled technology. I advise everyone who doesn't need VOIP to Bring Your Own Router.Anyone feel like putting a JTAG onto the 5355, and dumping out the key that is used to encrypt the config files? Should be easy enough for anyone with a BusPirate and a multimeter, and about a day of messing around. Once you have the key we can 'backup' the config file of the router, decrypt it, modify the settings we want, and reupload it.
I’m forced onto this device for the plan that I have joined with Telstra. I’ve loved Telstra when it comes to mobile and found them above and beyond expectations and very impressive.It’s currently just passed midnight, two months after my place has begun, and I’m over dealing with this piece of sh@t device. Unfortunately, I’m stuck with it as I live with my elderly grandmother who still requires a landline phone. As it seems I can’t use another device, it looks like I’m stuck with patchy, unreliable internet connectivity.I think I will be on the phone with cancellations and telling them that a contract goes both ways - I pay, they provide.
Not I pay, they lock me in to a device that I locked down to the point of crippling my system. That’s a disgusting way to treat a customer.

The Sagemcom F@ST 3864 modem/router that is provided by Optus has an administrative interface that you can login to to access advanced features that aren't accessible via the the 'standard' interface.The standard interface is accessed via and allows access to basic settings such as wifi options without needing to enter a username/passwordHowever, if you change the 'loginuser=' value from a '1' to a '0' you get prompted for a username/password. Once you've entered the correct username/password you can then access more advanced features within the modem setup/config.There are a number of forum posts stating some of the default usernames/passwords for this modem, but none of them worked for me, even after a factory reset.
What I did stumble across though was how to definitively (and easily) retrieve the admin password for this modem;. Open a web browser and go to will be presented with a screen like the one pictured below;. Right click in a blank area of the page, and select the option to 'View source' or 'View page source' (the wording might be slightly different depending on what browser you are using). This will load up all the html code used on this page. If you look towards the top of the page, you will see a line starting with 'pwdAdmin = ' - what is after this and contained within single quotes is the admin password that is set on the router.

You can then go to the URL and enter the username 'admin' and the password from Step 3 above and you will be able to access the hidden/advanced menu options within the router.
