Sorry if things were unclear. I do ramble on, and a notorious windbag, it is genetic, on my mum’s side.
Do ask if you should need anything explaining.
TR-069 as you said is a system used by ISPs to remotely configure routers or modems and I think it might be able to push software updates into them too. You should not have a problem with it anyway if yours is a new one. In any case, it can just be turned off. I have attached my config file, which does just that.
* Note after loading up this config file the admin account’s password will become set to
password1 not
password which is the standard default. Username is
admin as usual.
See attached, which is just a plain text file written in XML. (A stricter, more regular thing otherwise identical to HTML.) You can just edit it with a plain text editor, which is very useful. In case you ever feel the urge to put XML comments in it for yourself, I think the modem squawks then due to slack programming on their part. Burakkucat might be able to confirm this because I can't remember exactly.
Due to restrictions imposed by the forum on file names of attachments I have renamed the file to .txt. I am sure the modem doesn't care though. You might want to rename it to .xml for convenience if you have a smart editor that speaks xml.
Burakkucat and others will be able to tell you about the ”clearing ROM-D” thing, ie getting rid of non-standard defaults. It might be in a previous thread. You should not need to bother since it is a new one. To do the procedure you would iirc need to log in with the hidden
supervisor account, username
supervisor and I think the password should be set to
71ca956e after that config file has been applied. If that turns out to be wrong then Burakkucat might remind us of the procedure for digging it out of them modem. Just try that anyway.
Note for Kitizens reading this: no security worries about me revealing these passwords, the modems are not accessible from the internet anyway.
Any questions, I will try and help, but I am very new to this device. Burakkucat, Johnson and others are all old hands and will I am sure pitch in too.
Stop press : doh. I have just realised that when I saved that config file it had some settings in it which will not be correct for you. It is set up for my line, so the settings are ADSL2 only and you should change it to be right for you enable ADSL2+ as an option and VDSL2 as an option of course if you are on FTTC by ticking the tickboxes in the web GUI. My stupid fault.
