Thread: upgrading the zte zxdsl 830 firmware!!!

Hi guys , im having the zte zxdsl 830 all modem it has the following firmware

ZXDSL 831AIIV1.0.1i_D18_IN


i googled for the latest firmware and found versions upto V5.5 but cant download any one of them, What is meant by _IN the above firmware, i heard from my friend that the bsnl has modded the firmware and we cannot upgrade it is it true???

Any suggestions?????

why do you want to upgrade?? are you having any problems currently?>

yeah im having problems with it, the dsl does not starts to blink in the first boot of the modem,only the power and lan led glows, then i have to restart my modem 2 or 3 times in order make the dsl led blink!!!

yeah the stock f/w sucks i think
i too have problems with establishing a link even though my SNR is 25 and also it freezes every 40 min or so during the NU period

I am also having the same model...it sucks.......
broadband connection stops after some time..may b 3 hrs or 7 hrs...automatically....not able to ping anything!!!
cannot even connect to the modem then..
PC restart is of no use.........
The only solution is to restart modem to get it working again......
Any solution to this prob??????????

Usual info reqd: SNR ATTN/Line speed/Mod selected.
If Ok , not reqd.
Change Mod to GDMT or adsl1
( In your router may be
G.DMT is adsl1
G.DMT.bis is adsl2
G.DMT.bisplus is adsl2+ )
Para two: 1Since it works for about 3 hours to 7 hours,
your line conditions are Ok , I feel.
2.Probably the Dynamic IP is getting changed
frequently in your place.
Use openDNS 208.67.220.220. and 208.67.222.222
( both in Router and TCP/IP properties).
3.Ensure, other applications not required are unchecked from Startup.
( memory release) Except AV and firewall and which ever appln you use. .

well, the dyanamis IP should not be prob since I am using static ip address and I've also switched to open DNS servers. The same prob erupts after continuously using the modem for 7-10 hrs and that too not all the times...its random..and I now realise that its probably due to heating up of modem....for if I turn it off(modem) for 15-25 mins..its works fine for another 6-7 hrs.......
