Check up settings.
are you using Dialer Mode "bridged'
or PPP/PPPoE "always on " Mode.

Probably electrolytic condensers have dried up in the
power adapter ( if out put is 12 V DC )or in the modem.

If you get this working Netgear WGR614V6 can be considered.
Fault free for past one year for me. .

are you connected via USB? are you able to access 192.168.1.1 as soon as ADSl link is stable?

Open summary page and report
Mod selected adsl2+ Gdmt etc ( on top)
SNR download upload
Attn " "
line speed
rate .

"Bridged" or PPP/PPPoE mode will check later.

If your MT880 is not working properly , get from BSNL
wifi router with adsl modem. cost only Rs 1600/=
or on rent for two or three months for testing.

recheck specify which is downstream and upstream.
same for Attenuation in db.
Give only these figures.

Congrats.
I was hesitating to recommend a FW upgrade,
as sometimes due to various reasons
the modem becomes useless.

Now if you are satisfied with the working of the modem, observe for two or three days.
Check SNR/Attn figures and post only these figures
along with Mod selected adsl2 +, GMT etc.

Save present settings to C:/ My Documents/MT880 Bridged

Para two :
It will be better to have a "DIALup" connection
if you are interested in NU downloads and torrents.

Anyway procedure to make it "Always On"
refer the link .

Select WAN 0_35 edit
Uncheck "Bridged"
Select PPP and PPPoE
Enter UerId without @ bsl.in
Password
Always On
Idle time 0
SAVE reboot

wait for two minutes.
When Summary page comes
see Green button is seen. against 0_35 PPPoE.
Check In Diagnostics page status.

this upgrading firmware has been a really mysterious thing.. sometimes it magically fixes everything and sometimes it just completely screws up your modem . I guess we need to start creating a record as to which firmware upgrades are successful and which arent, so people in doubt could refer to it.. here's one
