Hi,

Recently picked up an HG612 and installed the B030SP08 GUI software.  Was all great and used with dsl stats over 1 night at home and all worked well.  Now I needed to deploy the HG612 for installation at a relatives house who's line was just FTTC enabled.  New huawei cabinet, they're in a rural area so still nearly 1 mile from cab, line provided today and they run the router remotely (in the home) from the master socket,  so they need a separate modem.

After install all was running great BUT I can no longer access the router web gui using 192.168.1.1 and dsl stats couldn't log in. Does this mean the disabled vlan settings that I left alone do not fully disable the BT agent?  Is there any (semi) permanent or selectable option to prevent the custom software installed to be overwritten?

Apologies if I've missed some quantum leap in logic.

I did try to browse the start and end of this thread but there is 15 or 16 pages so have not read every single reply.

Great software this too enabling access to the device and indeed dsl stats so thanks to the authors, editors and any other supporters.

Thanks

Was the PC connected to HG612 LAN2 ? What is the IP address of the PC?

Hi,

The HG612 looks like it was set-up correctly at your premises this sounds like an IP conflict on the relatives router, some routers will have its own Gateway GUI set at 192.168.1.1 so that will differently conflict with the HG612 if that is the case you will need to access the router and change the DHCP settings.

And set the Routers gateway to 192.168.1.254

Was the PC connected to HG612 LAN2 ? What is the IP address of the PC?

Yes, the HG612 was connected to the PC using LAN2.  Not sure, the NIC was set to dhcp and I didn't have time to delve into it further as they had me fixing other pc issues.

They use a netgear router and it's web gui is indeed also on 192.168.1.1, but I thought plugging directly into Lan2 on the HG612 would've avoided the conflict?

Thanks for the help so far.

The PC may not have had a valid IP address then, it should have been set to a static IP address as per Asbokid's unlock instructions.

It sounds like a router / HG612 IP conflict.

Some people change the modem ip. I just changed the router ip. What router have your relatives using? I know my asus rt-ac66u has the default same ip as the modem. When setting the router up i changed the ip. Maybe unplug the modem  then you'd be able to access the router to change it in there?

If there isnt a way to change it on the router then probably the modem would be easier to do as well.

The PC may not have had a valid IP address then, it should have been set to a static IP address as per Asbokid's unlock instructions.

Yes, OK,  I will try that next time I'm down there.  I did set the NIC to the static to unlock but i didn't seem to need to keep it like that to access and run dsl stats from my home. I.e i just reverted it back to default DHCP and everything worked fine at home.

Think their router is a Netgear  wndr3700 or 3800 but would need to confirm on next visit, there is certainly a few config options available.

Thanks

Hi

I'm having issues applying this new firmware to my HG612.
Model: HG612 3B

It had previously been unlocked, but I couldn't remember the password, so I followed this guid.
Set my laptop with the IP Address 192.168.1.100

Powered on the modem with the reset button pressed in and after 5 sends released and went to http://192.168.1.1
I then applied 'bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B030SP08_webgui' via the web page.

The modem rebooted and for a couple of seconds was pingable. Now nothing.
I can't browse or ping it.

I've tried again and selected the 'bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B030SP08_unlocked' file. This resulted in the same.

Any idea how I can resolve this ?

Thanks

[TomT]

Sorted.
I tried it again and got the same result.

So while powered up, I held down the reset button for 5 seconds.
After that I could connect to it fine.

I've changed the admin password and the LAN IP Address, are there any other settings I need to configure ?

Thanks

Just be aware that changing the admin login password only changes it for GUI access. For CLI access (telnet or ssh), it will still be the word "admin".

As for changes in the default settings, it really depends upon what is your ultimate aim . . . 

[Dray]

If the intention is to just use it as a modem, neither of those changes were necessary. Or any others.

[TomT]

Thanks for the replies.

I plan to just use it as a modem, with an Asus AC68U connected to it.
I changed the IP so it can be accessed by my LAN and the password to secure it a bit more.

Anyway to change the telnet password ?
Thanks.

I assumed that you changed the IPv4 address of the modem so that there would not be a clash with any following router device -- thus allowing monitoring of the circuit's statistics by connecting the LAN2 port of the modem to a LAN port of the router.

Anyway to change the telnet password ?

People have looked, in the past, but, to date, there have not been any reports of success.
