Re: Telstra Wireless Next G Gateway modem/router
Hi Vlad Nice to hear from you and thanks for your interest in this. I bought the first modem from a local phone shop in Busselton about a year ago. As soon as I had it home and tried to set up I came upon the problem, that is ongoing. I then found out about Telstra Country wide who work from Bunbury and the manager there has been helping out ever since and is determined to find out what the hell is going on. He had ordered the second modem early this year which is the one we are working on now, and is about to order the third. I hope BigPond actually take up the challenge to. Im thinking of upgrading to a new macbook with snow leopard and hope I dont have the same issues Best regards Chris On 21/05/2010, at 12:35 PM, Vladimir James wrote: Chris, I have been following your problem with the 3G9WB with interest, as I have been considering the replacement of my Maxon BP3-EXT with the Netcomm device. The Netcomm 3G9WB is listed by BigPond as the recommended device for Snow Leopard. BigPond states that the Maxon BP3-EXT does not support ... Snow Leopard, although I have recently brought to their attention the fact that I have been successfully using it with SL for many months. Strange. (I have had no reply from them on this matter.) In any case, I await some resolution to your problem. Could you tell me how you went about obtaining the 3G9WB, as BigPond is not exactly clear about this?

Telstra Wireless Next G Gateway modem/router
Hi muggers Hope things are ticking along nicely for all. I have an unusual problem it seems using the above system with a 15 MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8 intel 2.2) at home for my online service. This link to Whirlpool about it (dated Nov 2008) I received from a very helpful manager at Telstra Countrywide in Bunbury who is as baffled as myself about the new modem/router I purchased a few months ago. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1096198.html The baffling thing is that his loan router he has sent me (so I can still be online) actually does work with my mac, but the new one doesnt and we cannot understand why. The new one has exactly the same problem and the guy describes in the first post of the forum ie I can get online for about a minute before I get no connection. I have to constantly restart the modem, or go into the bigpond admin page to restart the software. The funny thing is he can use this new modem with no worries on his PC at his work in Bunbury. This is the second new modem I have had and it does the same thing. If anyone has any experience like this I would love to hear if you have been able to find a solution. The telstra bloke is coming around again to set it up and go through a few ideas he has after speaking with people at his work.

Hi Chris, That is a Netcomm 3G9WB isn't it? Are you using a Static IP Address or DHCP?
