Is that possible?

I own an Ormerod 1 that I control via web interface on my laptop, and I have recently purchased an used Ormerod 2..

Is it possible to somehow control both of them on 1 laptop via router or something?

Yes, just configure them to have different MAC addresses (M540) and different IP addresses (M552) and use 2 tabs in your browser.

I have changed the MAC and IP address on my Ormerod 2, but it doesnt want to finish loading the page.

They are both connected to a router, and Im controlling Ormerod 1 without any issues, but O2 page just keeps loading.

EDIT: somehow managed to click "Connect" and get it to "Retrying" but that is as far as it goes.
