I have a BT Voyager 220 router which I acquired when a customer was replacing it with a Home Hub to allow him to use BT Vision. The router seems to be programmed only to work with BT Internet ADSL: when I try to change the ADSL username and password to any other ISP's values that relate to the line which I am connecting it to, I get a message saying that the router is locked to BT accounts. Is there any way of re-flashing the router to remove the BT-specific code? It would be useful to use the router as a spare when testing customers' lines.

Exactly what I was looking for. I've re-flashed the router using the unlocked version of the firmware and I can now use it on any ADSL line - just to prove it I've temporarily connected it in place of my own Netgear router and that's how I'm connected while posting this reply!
