Hi all,

I've dealt with DrayTek kit before now, but today I've purchased a
second hand Cisco 837 ADSL router from eBay.

How the heck can I obtain the most recent IOS and/or firmware? I'd
like to get it updated to the latest release before I start to
configure it.

From what I can tell from the nightmare Cisco website, I have to be a
Cisco partner in order to download it. But I bought it from eBay, and
as such I don't have a partner, or a reseller, or a VAR....

According to show version the router has the following:




Router>show version
Cisco IOS Software, C837 Software (C837-K9O3Y6-M), Version 12.3(8)T4,
RELEASE
SOFTWARE (fc2)
Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Copyright (c) 1986-2004 by Cisco Systems, Inc.
Compiled Fri 03-Sep-04 08:34 by eaarmas

ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(8r)YN, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Router uptime is 1 minute
System returned to ROM by power-on
System image file is "flash:c837-k9o3y6-mz.123-8.T4.bin"








Many thanks for your time,



Jim Willsher

Do you have any contact that has a CCO login? This would be a start.
However, you still need to license the software through Cisco.
