iChat Picture Pages

Historical Document

These pages have sat here since 2008 with no update. In that time the AIM servers have been closed down (2017) and iChat has been superseded by Messages. That effectively make this a sort of Historical Document of how it worked.

I will make attempts to renew and refresh Links to either the most current site or use the Way Back Machine Archive so that people can at least look at what was used. I will make Edit Notes on this and on those where I can find no link to replace the older one as I go through the document.

Modem and Routers

Choose a folder

Basically this page links to two series of pictures. One for a Linksys device and the other for a Thomson Alcatel Speedtouch modem that routes running version 4 firmware.

The point is to show you the differences there can be in the similar set up pages to achieve the same things.

Linksys are quite popular and may be a direct source of help for some.

Essentially though these two folders were set up for comparisions so you can get an idea of where to look and the differences you might see on your devices.

This emulator site may also provide clues and assistance. (Edit 2024:- I have linked to the Modem page there is a link to Router across the top menu). The links shown often contain example pages from more than one device that then run the same as your device less the need for Passwords. Basically people have extracted the web pages from routers and routing modems and allow you to click through the pages and menus like it is an actual device.

Mostly this is kept as an Historical Document. Some small tense changes have been made but the content is by and large untouched.

It has a mixture of basic info and problem solving help.

About This Page

A link step page to two folders of pics from a router and routing modem as examples of the differences there can be.

Compatibility

Much of this page has been altered to be as HTML 5 compatible as possible. This may cause issues with any of the Browser below.

I have tested in Safari 18.1, Firefox 130.x and 131.0, Vivaldi 6.9.3447.48 and iCab 6.2.3 (All Mac Browsers) I don't have access to a PC let alone multiple browsers to test on.

Previously confirmed to work with Win/IE 5.5 and later (should work in 5.0, but not confirmed), Firefox 2, Safari 3, Opera 9, iCab 3.02 and later, Mac/IE 5, Netscape 6 and later

Old browsers (IE version 4 or earlier, Netscape 4 or earlier) may only see a text-based page which, while not the prettiest option, is still entirely usable.
