Yes, this modem has an internal address of 192.168.1.1 I also notice that I seem to always get the ip 192.168.1.70 which doesn't seem to change. My partner, connected to the same modem always gets 192.168.1.62 . Since I am very inexperienced using DHCP connections I have no idea if this is normal or not or if I can consider this my static ip. I think Telecom Italia does its best to hide the manufacturer of the modem. When I use a web interface for configuring the modem I find the following information: Name: Alice Gate 2 plus Wi-Fi Hardware: L1 Software: AGA_3.2.4 Smartcard: Active (yes, there is a smart card you have to insert into the modem. > >> A supplementary question for any Italian speaker out there. >> I moved to Italy about a month ago and I have an Alice 7 Mega account >> along with a Telecom Italia Alice wifi-modem.

I don't believe Telecom Italia is in the modem building business but I can't find any trace of a manufacturer or model number on the modem itself. What passes for documentation is no help either. Frankly I'm stumped. Thanks again, Jonathan
