Users of IE7 have discovered that they are unable to access their routers via IE7. Mike Maltby has been talking to SpeedTouch about this problem, and advises that the problem is not with the IE7 User Agent String but rather with changes in http authentication in IE7.

This means that users have various options open to them to resolve the problem pending the release of updated firmware which in the case of the ST585iv6 will be v6.2.0.x firmware that has yet to be released.

The workarounds being advised are to temporarily use an alternative browser such as FF or Opera Or Temporarily remove the administrator password.

To remove the password requires the user to telnet into the router (Start | Run | Telnet speedtouch.lan), logon and then remove the password.

Username: Administrator (or whatever userid has been set)
Password: ********

=> user config name Administrator password ""

Mike advises that by default the Administrator can only log on from the LAN. That being said, I recommend that you *not* remove the Administrator password and, instead, use an alternative browser until SpeedTouch releases updates.
