Yep, done that. I've also copied the file to the tftpd32 root folder and set it to that - same result.

Sorted! In it's ultimate wisdom Win7 downloaded the image file as .image.htm then proceeded to hide the .htm extension.

I spent the final 10 years of my career as a Microsoft MCSE but a couple of years ago I switched my personal computing to the Apple world and now hate Windows with a passion!

Reflashed the modem and my previous issue seems to be resolved.

I noticed earlier that someone had applied the latest modem firmware to the OpenWRT build, can someone please give me a very brief guide on how to do this? Would be much appreciated!

I see you've added these?

Quote
        option _orig_ifname 'eth1'
        option _orig_bridge 'false'

I believe this fixes our Multicast problem, thanks.  :)
I'm not sure why DNS isn't working as expected though, have you changed any other files?

I'm using YouView/BT and those additions don't seem to produce any difference. I added them and issued "/etc/init.d/network reload".

Code: [Select]
config interface 'wan'
        option ifname 'eth0'
        option force_link '1'

config interface 'wan_bridge'
        option type 'bridge'
        option proto 'none'
        option ifname 'eth0 ptm0.101'
        option auto '1'

config interface 'lan'
        option ifname 'eth1'
        option _orig_ifname 'eth1'
        option _orig_bridge 'false'
        option force_link '1'
        option proto 'static'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'
        option ip6assign '60'
        option ipaddr '192.168.1.50'
        option gateway '192.168.1.1'
        option dns '8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4'

the vdsl firmware location is specified in /etc/config/network
config vdsl 'dsl'
        option annex 'a'
        option firmware '/lib/firmware/vdsl.bin'
        option tone 'av'
        option xfer_mode 'ptm'

Thanks - I don't suppose you'd have the extracted bin for 5.7.5.5.1.7 that you could make available to me? I'm having nightmares trying to make unsquashfs4-lzma-avm-be as I'm not that familiar with *nix

Cheers.

hi,

would someone mind helping a newbie please.. There are 2 chips on my eci modem one large one being 1.2 and the smaller one being a 1.1 - which version should I use as per the original post in step one as I don't really want to brick it..

am I v1 or v2 image

Many thanks

The big chip must be labelled VRX268, that's the main chip, so I suppose you want the v2 image.

(The smaller chip is probably the VRX208, which is described as the "Analog Front-End and line driver".)

I think it may also be possible to tell from a line in the boot log, it either says "GPHY FW load for A1x !!" or "GPHY FW load for A2x !!" depending on the chip version.

jsamuel before I order your ebay service can you make it so the image has 2 vlan's? meaning one can use just one lan cable for wan and stat traffic.

second vlan been on 192.168.2.x.

 ... the System Log seems to say that it can't connect:

Thank you to those who made suggestions, but various combinations failed to get any internet connection :(

However, I may have discovered why: My ISP uses pppoa and, according to https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=63240, the pppoa packages need to be installed separately. It will take some effort to install on a device with no internet connection, and it's a big package (so might not fit into the ECI).

I'm giving up! I've learned a lot getting this far, but I think that now this ECI is destined for eBay ...

It looks like the necessary components for PPPoA are included in jsamuel's OpenWrt builds. You also probably need to change the xfer_mode option from "ptm" to "atm" for ADSL / PPPoA use.

Thanks, ajs, but the ECI continues to frustrate my attempts to connect it to my ADSL2+ line. I've tried to understand the documentation. If someone else wants to take on the project, then I've included below the final log entries and my unsuccessful /etc/config/network file.

I wanted a simple internet connection with LAN1 and LAN2 connected directly to the PC.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get the image file across via TFTP.

I have connected LAN1 to my MAC. I have given static IP of 192.168.1.169 to my MAC, and IP of 192.168.1.101 to the modem.

I type:-

VR9 # ping 192.168.1.169

and get response:-

host 192.168.1.169 is alive

I have a tftpserver running on my Mac, however, one I run the "run update_openwrt" command, it times out transferring the image from TFTP. In the tftpserver log, I get the error "tftpd: write: No route to host" followed by multiple lines of "tftpd: write: Host is down"

Do I need to set a subnet mask or anything in the router?

Hi.

If you are using the guide at the start of the post
being
set ipaddr 192.168.1.100 (modem)
 set serverip 192.168.1.1 (your pc etc)

I set my pc to 192.168.1.1 and the flash was fine using tftp Once it  completed I then set my pc to 192.168.1.3 for example so I could access the modem after it rebooted

Go with address's as specified in the guide to get the  image on.

Once it reboots the modem will be on 192.168.1.1

Cheers
