Thread: ut300r2u alternate firmware.

Hello, I just wanted to know if anyone has ever tried, successful or otherwise, to install an alternate firmware (like Tomato,DD-WRT etc) on their ut300r2u modem.

No what does it do??

@gurusam
May get extra menu items like virtual servers/ddns/ client tr069, SNMP etc .
If you are not careful, and if the FW is not compatible, you will have a "DUD: modem to be used as door stopper!
If it is on rent from BSNL, try your luck to get a replacement !

Para two:
@manishk : Post Device status page of your modem. for
BoardID. One model is same like Beetel220BX for which FW is available.
In one older model PORT forwarding Virtual server option is not available.
see the "How to....." forum here. Since you are mentioning "likeTomato DD-WRT etc ", I am sure, you can use alternate FW.successfully.

@manishk
are you facing any problem for which you want to update firmware?

@essbebe
Mine is the one without the Virtual Server feature, only NAT-DMZ. I'm sorry, but did you post a link to the 'How To...' forum, because I can't see it.

I haven't tried any of the firmwares yet, because, as you said I don't want a Rs.60 pm door stopper (mine's on rent).

@superprash2003
Not exactly. I find the current firmware very buggy, none of my settings get saved and stuff like that.

One of the main reasons was that I read these firmwares have WakeOnLan feature, and since mine is the 500C plan, I thought I can save a few bucks on the electricity bill!! Plus they allow bandwidth monitoring. Basically, I was just inquisitive.

i have the same router.. let me know if you succeed i'd love to have the WOL feature . but be careful though as mentioned earlier by essbebe you could permanently screw up your modem

Thats the same thing thats scaring me...!! Lets see.

@manishk
Post Device Status page of the modem, to check the FW version.
"WakeonLAN" is a separate application.
Wait. let me check.

Firmware Version: UT300R2U.0011.01

Hi all finally I screwed Bsnl UT300R2U firmware now I am enjoying fully loaded firmware.

Can you please tell us how you did it??

@manishk

Post screenshot of your modem's Device page.

AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Probably you can try BEETEL 220bx FW to
get Advanced options lie virtual server/port forwarding
etc.

REF:http://www.indiabroadband.net/broadb...etting-up.html (UT300-R2U Ver 2.2 - Guide for setting up)

Otherwise if you don't need them don't try UPGrade.

See old threads in Airtel forum.

http://www.indiabroadband.net/airtel...bx-repair.html (how can 220BX repair)

can anyone give me firmware software for my UT300R2U for my bsnl broadband as not able to connect Vpn

open 192.168.1.1 admin admin
type 192.168.1.1/look.html
post data if anything seen (* ignore the font chinese?)
VPN option/menu may not be available in this model.

what error are you getting when connecting to your vpn?? you would first want to try troubleshooting that..

uploading all bsnl firmware in one package very shortly! . .

Download the cd manual. contains FW versions.

BSNL BROADBAND MAIN MENU

this cd manuals wont work if u are from bangalore ,Hyderabad

@iskyb

this cd manuals wont work if u are from bangalore ,Hyderabad

What is special about BSNL BB connections at
above places ? doe it mean the FW UPG ( if any in the cd manual)
for any bsnl supplied modem will not work in Bangaluru and Hyderabad?
Can you list the contents of the CD?

Have you made a complaint to BSNL in Bangaluru?

Update: Unable to download the CD as virus reported.

nothing special ,driver(dailers) of mt88x series routers wont work in Bangalore as i have tested and same with Hyderabad which is available in Calcutta telecoms website same with few other routers ! . . .

Be specific:
Are you taking about USb drivers for different modems/
or
Firmware update for different modems as provided by BSNL /
According to you ONLY AT Bangaluru and
Hyderabad they wont work ?
Rest of India OK ?
A farfetched unsubstantiated conclusion.
Whether you connect in Bangaluru or Hyderabad the BSNL server is common for ALL INDIA users. .
Location could be different.

Para twO:
One more misleading statement!

,driver(dailers) of mt88x series routers wont work in Bangalore

Since when Huawei AX Mt88 series modems have driver(dialers) ?
A dialer is used externally of the modem.

Should i go to Bangaluru and Hyderabad to test your theory ? According to you something special in these places.
which is not technically justified.
you are free to hold on to your conclusions, and sheer waste of time discussing further.
I surrender.

I screwed up my UT 300r2u modem trying to install the firmware for the modem. I downloaded it from the bsnl website that too...Really rubbish!
