76 SujetsHelix Gateway - Unable to login as admin
Hello everyone; I'm hoping that someone in this community might be able to help me out. My problem: I'm unable to login to the HELIX Gateway using the default credentials. I have tried: Username: admin / Password: password Username: admin / Password: the password under the HELIX terminal I have looked up the vendor's model with all sorts of default username/password combinations. It simply does not work! I want to be able to login to http://10.0.0.1 to have full control of my network, for example: I want to enable MAC filtering I want to fix my VPN problem I'm really frustrated with the service I received during the installation of my HELIX service about a month ago. The technician completely ignored my request about logging into the HELIX Gateway. He said "you don't need that, just use the HELIX Fi app on your phone". I'm sorry but that's not good enough! I'm paying enough money to have this service. I have called Videotron about my issue. They said the only real fix is to reset the gateway to its factory settings. However, this really scares me. What guarantee do I have that it's going to work properly? I'm worried about reconnecting all the devices in my network. I'm even more worried that perhaps my HELIX Gateway is faulty. I would really like to hear from you guys and girls out there. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Can anyone provide me with the exact steps to reset my gateway to its factory settings? I would really appreciate your help and feedback. Thank you all.39 kVues0like3CommentairesO
I've had HELIX with GIGA speed for almost 3 years. So far, it's been pretty reliable but there are occasional interruptions and slowdowns. Certainly better than Illico. But over the last 2 months, I've been losing Internet or WiFi connections several times during the day. These are short disruptions...a minute or a few. Several times too the HELIX receivers can't connect to the gateway. But after a few minutes it's OK. It's become a real annoyance. So I called technical support last week. They told me right away that I have electromagnetic interference. Apparently, they have a tool that tells them this. Happens at fairly regular intervals not not exactly at predicable times and rarely overnight. But nothing has changed in my home. The gateway is still in the same place and nothing is blocking it. I haven't bought anything like a soundbar or smart TV or any new appliance. This problem has come out of nowhere. Maybe a neighbor? I live in brick a home and my neighbor's homes are all brick too. I have a hard time believing that's the cause. Anyone else have a similar problem? How do you go about finding the problem. The support guy said I could download the NetSpot app which I did. But I can't really figure out how this product works. Any one have experience with such a tool? If this continues, I'm going to Switch to Bell Fibre direct 3.0 Gbps.Résolu101Vues0like4CommentairesHelix not handing out IP addresses (DHCP issue)
Since Friday, our Helix is not handing out IP addresses anymore (over DHCP). Restarting the Helix did not help. As a workaround, we have manually configured the IPv4 address, subnet mask, gateway IP, and DNS IPs on our laptops (Windows and Linux). This works for now. Anybody else have this problem? Would be nice to get it fixed.Résolu4,5 kVues0like4CommentairesChannel surfing with Helix A must!
Hello, I know im not the first to complain but It cant hurt to keep this alive! I contacted support at least 4 months ago regarding this issue and still , nothing has been done. How can you sell a television system that doesn not allow you to surf your own channels???!!! Im getting tierd of using the guide to look for something to watch. I wish I took advantage of the 30day money back program cause now im stuck with 500$ worth of useless outside of a videotron environment equipment, non VPN router, and 2 tv terminals. On a side note, can you use this equipment for anything, like the tv terminals seem to be a raspberry Pi type system, can I format them and use them to my liking? And the router.. is that useable as a router off the videotron network?Résolu10 kVues2likes10CommentairesApple TV vs terminal TV Hélix
Bonjour, Je viens d'installer Hélix avec un terminal TV dans une pièce. J'ai un cinéma maison et je pensais me procurer un deuxième terminal (de 2e génération). Mais, comme j'ai déjà un boitier Apple TV dans mon cinéma maison, sur lequel je suis arrivé à installer l'App Hélix, je me demande pourquoi j'aurais besoin d'avoir un terminal TV. À part la télécommande vocale, qu'est-ce que je perds en passant par mon boitier Apple TV? MerciRésolu133Vues0like2CommentairesIssue with HELIX Recording Playback
With Helix, do all recorded programs start from the beginning when you play them again? I could swear that if you played a recorded show and paused it after X minutes, changed the channel and then came back to watch the recorded program, it would start from where you paused, not from the beginning. It is not doing that anymore. Was there a firmware update that changed this? I know for a fact that it was not always like this because I would record a sporting event and play it while watching another live show by going back and forth between the two. When I went back to play the recorded sporting event, it would play from where I paused. But now it always starts from the beginning of the recording.690Vues2likes5CommentairesHélix in Florida
Hi community. I am spending the winter in Florida. My helix is recording programs back home in Saint Jerome. When I try to watch my pre-recorded programs or live television here in Florida, I get an error message saying that I do not have access in this country. I have installed a VPN with an IP address in Montreal I still have no access to my recorded programming or live television. Has anyone found a workaround for this problem?620Vues0like2CommentairesBlocked ports on Helix
I was surprised when I started looking at my firewall logs and doing test myself that it now seems that Helix is letting through some tcp & udp ports that were previously blocked in the past. Can someone from Videotron check if someone removed an ACL on your side? For example, I'm seeing that ports 80 & 443 are open now as from what I read here they should be blocked: https://forum.videotron.com/t5/internet-telephony/business-internet-port-block/td-p/22929#:~:text=Here%20are%20the%20ports%20that,)%2C%204444%20(BLASTER).
