Overview

EVG2000-BPAUS (Telstra) TA "100-14583-01R12" S/N "28E10274003F0" ebay

  • This product was produced for a select few ISPs for use with their service.
It would appear the device is currently used by Telstra (Australia), Optus (Australia), and Tele2 (Europe).

The default IP, login credentials, SSID, and everything else will depend on the device's branding.

  • For Tele2..
The default IP is 192.168.0.1
The default login credentials are admin:tele2
The default SSID format is Tele2GatewayXXXX
The default IP is 10.0.0.138
The default login credentials are admin:admin
The default SSID format is BigPondXXXX
Per WiGLE, upper case hex digits are used.
There does not seem to be a relation between the digits and the BSSID.

brcm63xx: add initial support for Netgear EVG2000
This patch adds support for the Netgear EVG2000 VoIP Gateway to the
bcm63xx targets.

This device was not sold to the general public, but rather is/was
provided by telcos to customers in Sweden, Australia, Singapore and
other parts of asia.

Known issues:
 - Unable to detect 53115 switch. This appear to be a problem with
probing for the PHY using MDIO and results in error 5. Doesn't seem to
be a problem with the configuration, and could use someone with
experience to have a look at it.
 - Uses the b43 driver as using the OpenWRT/LEDE broadcom-wl driver
fails to load the firmware for the 4322, so 802.11n is not supported.
