How to unlock a Bell 2Wire 2701HG-G Modem/Router
Firstly before I get to the good stuff (skip this part and go to the
bottom if you just want to unlock the 2Wire 2701HG-G) let me warn you to
never get a branded modem/router. Why you might ask? Well because of
the fact that they are branded some features might be stripped and
getting those features back, or a decent web interface might be
difficult if not impossible. Secondly they barely release updates, and
when they do, you can’t get access to the files your self. I would
rather input all these settings into a D-Link/Linksys router or this Buffalo router that is on my wish list.
So first of all you will need to flash the Modem/Router with a newer firmware. This firmware is for another ISP called Singtel. Don’t worry it should work fine as I have used it on a Bell connection. The main problem was once we updated the firmware, and wanted to input the Bell username and password it kept inputting @Singtel.com to the end of the username no matter what we did. Finally I found out that we had to use a key code to remedy that (See this is what I was talking about earlier in the post! I have never used a key code on a router, I feel this is a very stupid idea or “feature” if you want to call it that). So follow the steps below and you should be able to get your router working with the Singtel firmware.

How To Unlock A 2WIRE modem for easy-access wi-fi
This video will show you how to unlock a 2WIRE modem for easy-access wi-fi. NOTE: Anyone will be able to join your wi-fi. If it is locked, no one will be able to access except password holders. And this is also for 2WIRE modems ONLY!!! If you have a different type of modem, this is NOT for you.
For the record, people, a 2wire device is not a modem. ( although it HAS a modem technically inside of it) it is a GATEWAY. Gateway=modem + router all in one device. A modem DOES NOT have a router built into it nor the 3 or more extra ethernet ports nor wifi broadcasting capability. A modem is a PHYSICAL single port unit designed to support one other ethernet enabled device to connect to the internet.
this isn't hacking. All this video shows is disabling encryption on a router this person already has direct access too
Also people. the PASSWORD to it is either available on the 2wire website or somewhere physically on your 2wire gateway just like the wireless access passkey is by DEFAULT located via sticker on the 2wire gateway device itself.
Unlocking BT 2Wire 2700HGV Business Hub (wireless router)
22 Mar 2012: With
the announcement of the all new BT Business Hub 3, I have decided to
retire this website. The contents and the website will remain, but no
significant changes or updates will be made in the future. Thank you
to all those who have contributed to the contents on this website
over the last few years.
Sep 2013: Minor update re. 2Wire power supply adapter.
Jan 2014: I had to install a new 2700HGV with v6.1.1.48.1 to replace a 2700HGV which developed a DSL connection fault. To my surprise and annoyance, the firmware was updated to v6.3.9.63 a few days later. In hindsight, I should have applied Adrian C's fix to block the provisioning server from applying the firmware upgrade as I wanted to see if v6.1.1.48.1 would resolve an ongoing wifi issue at the premises.
Feb 2014: The above mentioned hub has now been replaced by a N300 wireless cable router. A 2700HGV now serves as an inexpensive ADSL modem operating in 'bridge' mode attached to the new router.

To perform a successful modem upgrade, it is critical that these instructions be followed closely. Please wait until the upgrade is completed and you have reconnected to the internet to close the window.
Please note:
- You must be connected DIRECTLY to the modem with an Ethernet cable!
- Do NOT use wireless, USB, or be connected through another piece of equipment such as a hub, switch or router.
- Turn off any firewall programs before performing this procedure. Be sure to turn these back on when the recovery process is complete.
