I've had two of those and they both packed up a little after a year,
just outside their guarantee periods. No promises, but it might be
that yours is up the Khyber too.

The default is 10.0.0.2 . So someone has been using it?

Oooopppsss. If you can get this thing connected to your ISP, you have
now given the admin ID and password, ready for anyone that can hack in
to your router from the Great Wide World.

Possibly - and it will do no harm as long as you leave "Act as IP
router" set to OFF. RISC OS needs to be told where the Router is and I
have always put the router's address in the primary name server slot of
the Host names setup.

Do you think you have the A7000+ set with a 192.168.n.m configuratiom?
This is done in the RISC OS Network/Interface setting window.

And the first thing to do is to check that you can ping the router from
your A7000+. If you can't do that nothing else will work.
