PTCL's W150D ADSL Wireless N150 Router with Micronet's SP3367NL Firmware - Screenshots

It's been a while since I updated this blog, but, I am planning to write down all the tech adventures I had during this time starting with routers!

First up is the Tenda W150D mentioned previously, currently using firmware of Micronet (Taiwan) SP3367NL:

Note: Despite the version string (1.0.0.7 vs 1.0.1) the newer firmware US_SP3367NL_V1.0.0.7_en_NUT.bin released in 2012 can be found at http://sdrv.ms/17IgVyp though you might want to save your previous configuration before upgrading to restore later on new firmware as there can be problems enabling the wireless network in the v1.0.0.7 (it's just a configuration issue that may not occur but it's better to be prepared)
(My upgrade path: PTCL's firmware->Tenda's Firmware->Micronet's Firmware)

- The interface seems to be the same as the previous firmware, but, again it performs better than the version pre-installed by PTCL (ISP)


Download SNR Margin is better than before ... though on fiber network it isn't much of an issue to begin with





Advanced Wireless Settings: I have enabled Power Save, N only Mode and Xpress boost modes
 


If you do try out this firmware (see http://ahmedfarazch.blogspot.com/2012/05/ptcls-newer-wireless-n-150mbps-w150d_17.html) do let me know about the performance! Thanks!

Technicolor TG582n: Info, Configuration and Usage Options

Hi! DANT-T and DANT-1 variants DANT-T and DANT-1 variants The Technicolor TG582n ( quick specs , user guide ) seems to be quite popular with ISPs and can be found in branded, sometimes locked*, form throughout. Fortunately, it works really well once properly configured and it is (usually) easy to unlock by flashing it with an unlocked firmware. One thing to take into consideration is that it comes in two main variants, the DANT-1 and DANT-T, with each variant only accepting it's own firmware (unless you are installing OpenWRT ). Firmware Update: Now, when it comes to flashing the firmware, we need: (Windows 7 is recommended) - Thomson Upgrade Wizard   - User privileges (username and password for user authorized to flash firmware ... for some branded ones we don't need one once router has been reset but for some like O2 we need the user SuperUser with password the Serial Number of router) - (Unlocked/Generic) Firmware for the

BT Home Hub v2 Type A: Info, Unlock & Configuration

Hello Again! Next up is the BT Home Hub v2* Type A home ADSL Wireless Router by Thomson/Technicolor (more info at OpenWRT wiki ). Again, this router accepts only BT specific/approved domain names for username of dsl and must be 'unlocked' to be used with other ISPs. Such 'unlocking' (thanks to btsimonh and Surreliz3) also allows more configuration options, though firmware upgrade options might become limited. As with the BTHH v1 & v1.5 , this router can be 'unlocked' via jTAG method but there is also the relatively easier software method provided the firmware version currently on the BTHHv2A is lower than version 8.1.H.U.  Unlock: I 'unlocked' mine via the software method a long time ago so I won't be able to post screenshots of the process (have yet to try the jtag method on one with newer firmware that I also happen to have), but, here is the process as described on the now defunct psidoc.com website (the links may

PTCL's (newer) Wireless n 150mbps W150D xDSL Router by Tenda Part2

From the hardware point of view, the PTCL/Tenda W150D is not much different from other BCM6328 based routers but the difference surely lies in the software/firmware ... so let's take a look at the gui side of things ... From the start it was apparent that the firmware for PTCL was not 'special/locked' one and just used image replacement replacing Tenda's images/logos with those for PTCL ... anyways it also didn't seem to work well, felt kind of like a beta version of the firmware ... couldn't hold onto some settings ... my long line and difficult stats didn't help either (awaiting conversion from copper to fiber) ... so in desperation I looked at firmware updates for the router on Tenda's website knowing full well that a corrupted/interrupted/slightly-changed firmware update would brick the router with no obvious way to recover as serial & jTAG pinouts are not known (there are some test points ... but lack of interest) and no full flash backup c
