TMobile@Home Router WRTU54G-TM Phone Admin Screen and Call Log

I’ve had some folks ask about the router’s administration pages. It has basically all of the typical router settings pages, like port-forwarding, wireless security, etc. In addition, it has two features that are specific to the telephone capabilities of the router.

Guinea Pig: I have the new Tmobile@Home ‘Landline’ Replacement Service

11/02/2008 NOTE: After I originally wrote this post a few months ago, T-Mobile linked to it from their t-mobileathome.com site.
