ADSL FW for 857 (4.0.18) Richard Bland 03-16-10

OK, so I'm new to Cisco and picked up an 857 off fleabay. After playing
around with it, I seems I need to update the ADSL firmware to get a
stable connection (UK C&W LLU ADSL2+).

However, it looks like I need to buy a support account before I can
access firmware updates. Is this right?

Cheers,

Rich.

Some slightly older firmware is available at:-
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/access/800/
Most users will need to specify passive ftp
for IE or use Firefox which does passive by default.

I think 3.0.10 is the latest available there. 4.10.19 is for
adsl over ISDN - I seem to recall.

Read the release notes.


Sorry just noticed you have ADSL2+.
In my experience 3.0.10 will give a stable connection with
original ADSL - no idea about ADSL2+.

The latest stuff seems to be only available if you have a
maintenance agreement.

In the past with original ADSL I have found advantage in
in specifying the "dsl operating-mode" away from auto.

Thanks for the operating-mode tip - I've already tried 3.0.10 and 3.0.33
from the public FTP site without much change in stability and was hoping
for easy access to 4.0.18...

However, the operating-mode change intrigues me as I've seen it posted a
couple of other places. Will try that this evening.

Cheers,

Rich.

Support for the 857 will not cost much.

I forget exactly - 15% of list price per year.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for the operating mode.
Worth a try tho'.

Check your mail.
