Thread: Firmware update for MT841

hi gus here is the MT841 firmware

New Link : MT841_Firmware_Dec2005

Hey, thanks for uploading the link for all of us. Can you pprovide or search for a link where we can find links or downbload directly all the BSNL modem firmwares or drivers or application packages. Is there any such link avaialable on the net.

^ register on driversguide
it is a good source for many device drivers .
softpedia is another good source .
similar websites can be found on the net ( ex. driverfiles )

mmm sorry to say that i also find it in some other forums
while searching even i didn't rembered it.

Well its a very good link to share with all of us. Thanks for finding it for all of us. Are these drivers all for Win XP OS or for Linux as well.

^ the above given Link is for the stable firmware
version of Huawei SmartAX MT841 modem .
It doesnt consist of the drivers . If anyone has the
modem's CD , it has USB drivers for Windows & Linux .

Is there any link you have where they show with screen shots as how the installation procedure goes. Please share with all if you have any such information.

Huawei Terminal

@rakesh1988
Huawei and UTStar websites/forum always ask you contact the ISP who supplied the modem/router. You won't get FW update/s from them.

2. Beginning of the thread Post 1. one link given. rapidshare.
RapidShare: Easy Filehosting ( may be still available)
If FW is not done properly you have what you call a "bricked" router. Useless.
3.Tell the reason you want to update existing FW and what you expect out of it ?
4.Post screen shot of the Device Status page ( usually the summary page ) to check present version.

Below deleted.Please ignore.
[s]but from your post, I fear/am afraid you will spoil the modem.[/s]

@jee.ramesh.1983
MT841 FW update ==== reg
Download the firmware to say D:/mt841 firmware. The link may be deleted in Rapidshare and may not be available later. Even now you can check availability.
If at a future date you are advised /think FW is to be updated , Try then..
There is no query from you, reg any modem or surfing problem.
.

If your router is working as per your satisfaction, then do not upgrade the firmware. Never upgrade firmware simply because someone tell you to do so.

Remember the golden rule: If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Come on!! Is this really a question? OK. Answer these:

Major questions:
- Is your modem failing to connect consitently?
- Are you suffering slow speeds for no apparent reason?
- Do you feel that you are not getting some feature that is available in other router that would make your surfing life wonderful?
- Is your modem leaving security holes in your connection?
- What gains will you make by the update?
- Finally, will the firmware update fix any or all of the problems mentioned above?

Minor questions:
- Is the firmware update safe?
- Will your ISP continue to support you after firmware update?
- Firmware update requires that the modem needs to be power ON during the entire update process. Do you have UPS for modem?

I have never in my life updated firm ware for any modem I have ever used... They all worked fine and if something is working fine I dont see a need to make changes.. Its not the India cricket team we are talking about that would need experimenting from time to time

The only time I every tried to upgrade a firmware was my netgear router and after upgrading it started behaving strangely so I rolled it back

Let your ISP decide if you need a firmware update or not

its connecting consistently....Still now i have no isses with the modem...
But during the weekends (in morning & afternoon), the link light dosent glows...iam not able to surf @ all. But during the weekend nights...the link lamp glows & iam able to surf....
I face no issues during the weekdays....

May be its the netwrok congestion during weekends (in morning & afternoon)....correct me if iam wrong...
