Glad I could help.

I can't really tell you what version I'm on now... I managed to make my
DSL router really really secure by doing a config at 3am on a Sunday
morning a few months ago, and forgetting the password. I could just do a
hard reset on it, but I haven't had a reason to change the config since
then.

I have one of the older white Actiontec routers now, but had the same
issue with a GT701 before. The one with the DNS, not the lost password.
