Thread: CPE Firmware Upgrade Application from BSNL

On Bangalore Telecom site, there is a link to motive.bsnl.co.in where in turn there are links to download an application and user guide.

Extract from the beginning of the user guide:

Has anybody tried this? Does it upgrade firmware of WA3002G4 modem?

Discussed here

http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...blem-help.html (Automatic redirection to motive.bsnl.co.in problem!!!! HELP!!!!)

Yes. Saw that. But are there any firmware upgrades available anywhere? If so, there are options from the web based interface to do the upgrade. No need to rely on any separate application.

I have seen members exchanging firmware updates. You can post a request here, those have a similar firmware can share it with you. Be careful while updating firmware. You modem will be dead if it goes wrong.

Modem guides. Not checked for FW upgrade.

don't fix things which ain't broken. if your net is working OK then don't try firmware upgrade. if wont give you increased speeds if you are thinking on same lines.

1.
For NAT options you should be in "ALWAYS ON" PPP/PPPoE
mode where you enter your userID and PW in wan page etc.
2.
The term "Dialer" mode is for "bridged" mode and you use windows dialer to enter userId/PW to connect.
PPPoE is causing confusion.
3.
the correct links (3) for sem DNA A211-I have been given in WA3002-G4 thread.

Got it now was in fix about that
thanks for clear cut instructions here
