Is that what you've got from Be?
Anyway, as long as you can access the modem's configuration page, and can add in your Be username and password, then it's unlikely to be locked. The router itself will probably just connect to the internet when connected to a modem.
Orange have never locked their equipment, as far as I know.
You might be right.
All Orange broadband usernames end in @fs.
I had an Orange Livebox, and I've now replaced it with a Netgear router, which works fine. But I never tried the Livebox on another network, right enough.
The configuration is surely on the modem though, rather than on the router? (I'm presuming they are separate pieces of equipment?)
If you've changed from EE to Be, I'd have thought Be would supply you with their own modem?
Yes i have a be router but i like the sound of the EE one sounds a lot better than my Technicolor TG582n. Not sure what you mean by 2 separate pieces of equipment ive just got the 1 piece as in the link i posted.
*ETA: Actually I googled it, and it seems the BrightBox does have an ADSL modem, but you have to do a bit of configuring to use it.

However, it looks like it is locked to EE.

This product is only suitable for use with EE broadband connections in the UK. If you are not an EE broadband customer then please do not purchase this product as it will not work on any other network.
Thanks for that link,i guess it wont work with be then
Sounds like a good router though is there any wit the same specification to buy .
