Old Directv Gateway

Post by Tulloch »

Since my Directv DSL service is gone. Does anyone know what we can use the free Gateways for? Directv said we could use or throw away. Anyway know how to reprogram these to be useful with standard DSL service? Or does paper weight come to minds...

No, this ,model 10-X204, is proprietary equipment made special for Directv DSL. I heard ,rumors, they can be tweaked to work on standard DSL services.

Anybody out there heard of this?
