Finally I received a wireless router from PTCL with my "new" connection few days ago after a long wait! As expected it turned out to be a PTCL branded router supplied by another company in this case Tenda (www.tenda.cn) with model W150D ... a 150Mbps wireless n (half) xDSL router ... looks nice with a big 5dBi fixed antenna ... lets take an inside look:
4 x Phillips-head screws
Plastic locks and tabs
Notice the Heatsink ... just as well as it runs very hot
Antenna is soldered onto the pcb and there is one pad free for mounting another antenna ... hmmmmm
the wireless "chip"
No need to remove heatsink to id the processor ... this router is based on the BCM6328
Some more test points ... but more later ... let's take a look at the software side ... (in part 2)

ReplyDeleteI have a Fiberhome AN1020-25U DSL Modem, it is bricked on its starting red light. When normal, this red light turns green after sometime, but now its bricked on red light! i tried resetting it but it didnt work. It probably needs a Firmware. Can you tell me what alternate firmware i can use for this modem??
ReplyDeleteHello!
DeleteI am afraid that I don't have this particular modem (yet) but perhaps somebody else might be able to help you out! In the meantime, you may try the 30/30/30 reset to restore Factory Default Settings:
1) Wait for some minutes after router has powered on, then press and hold the reset button ... wait for 30 seconds ... keep the button pressed!
2) After 30 seconds, while still pressing the reset button, unplug the power cord from the router ... wait for another 30 seconds ... keep the button pressed!
3) After 30 seconds, plug in the power cord while still holding the reset button ... wait for another 30 seconds ... keep the button pressed!
4) Release the reset button and wait for the router to settle down ... might take upto 5 mins (as some routers go into firmware recovery mode waiting for a firmware image to load) ... you may restart the router after 5 mins if it still hasn't finished booting
If the router boots up successfully after this reset, then you'll have to reconfigure it!
If the router still flashes a red light, you could try loading a firmware via TFTP or recovery page if accessible (though PTCL doesn't seem to release any firmware images) or you could just go to the exchange and ask for a replacement router ... insist on free but if you have to pay then it's for you to decide if it is worth it or not (could get better one from market or other sellers) ... also don't pay anybody cash, ask to put it in the bill!
