Re: Aladdin Connect
Ha, if this is a problem with a blocked port, this is another reason for us users to have more control over the gateway. They have a firewall that blocks ports, to make it more secure. And your garage door opener uses one of the blocked ports. If they let us unblock ports that we wanted to, fixing the problem would be easy.Re: device name change
Try this: in the cellphone app, on the bottom toolbar, go to NETWOR K then it says Manage your Wifi Networks. (Apparently you can have more than one. like, one for kids and one for grownups.) Your existing network should be there. Click its name and you get to a panel where you can change your SSID, that's the name that people connect to. And your wifi password, that you give to ppl to connect with. I hope you changed it when you first got it! There's other settings if you're curious. Make sure to click Save at the bottom.Re: Why is the Home Internet Gateway functionality crippled?
Actually, I was hoping to be able to control much more, too. But, my previous provider's modem (which is still connected) gives me 6 panels and 36 subpanels of info and controls. Most of that I don't use or care about. but some I do care about: Abiity to change IP addresses in the LAN: address of the modem, and allowable IPs in the LAN. I generally don't use 192.168. for a bit more security. ability to turn on/off DHCP, and the IPs that it assigns, so nobody who breaks in can guess my LAN IPs firewall, so I can cut off kinds of access I want to keep out ability to disable wifi, so only the ethernet cable connections are usable and nobody can hack in from outside my apt ability to ping and traceroute, for testing system & security log for the modem save settings in a file I get it that you don't want people to tinker around and break stuff, but you do have a Reset button on the back in case we screw up too badly.
