Hi there!

Hi there!

I recently moved to Shanghai and pestered the building management to get Tianyitong in my apartment. On the first visit, the telecom techs just brought over an ADSL modem and made out no-one had asked for the wireless set-up.

Then, after much hassle, they returned abotu a week later with the wireless router/AP (a Beyondcable 2010). Via the building management, I tried to question them as to what Username/password I would need to use to get wireless access while out and about in Shanghai.

at first, there was lots of shoulder shrugging and then they just pointed to my original ADSL user card (with Username/password on it).

Sure enough, when I took my palm-based wireless device (an Alphasmart Dana) to Starbucks, it'd find the access point but wouldn't log in - it cam up with "wrong user name or password").

Any suggestions on how I can resolve this? The Sh telecom Tanyitong site is in Chinese (which I can't read) and I suspect I wouldn't get very far if I rang them up (I'm also not much good with spoken Chinese).

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Regards,
Bluebag
