Netcomm Firmware Nf18acv
Tinisha
Do you know if there is an updated Orcon/Vocus firmware with these enhancements? I'm due a Fibre upgrade this week and my initial testing shows poor range with the Wifi on this device compared with my existing router.
The wifi performance fixes are part of our mainline rb40 firmware, most of the band steering and associated performance fixes have been a direct result of our work with netcomm. The fixes in netcomms firmware are downstream of ours.
We also have customisations that are not present in mainline firmware, if you purchased the cpe then you can technically do as you please, however not running our firmware will mean no support and will break all our automation.
The reset button should give you a clean slate if the advice already given doesn't work. See user guide for details. Then you can switch to Aussie Broadband (a very good RSP imo) who also use and support that modem.
Joined Spintel about the same time as you. Regretted it ever since. Got the modem as well which I knew as pre-configured but didn't realise that it also meant some menu options have been removed by Spintel. Anyway, you can change the username and password in from the main menu under Advanced Setup > WAN Service. Then select edit on the ADSL interface item.
Let it go through the motions of upgrading and re-booting. After which you'll find it is returned to a stock netcomm NF18ACV and quite a few extra menu items, including the previously hidden "Firmware upgrade" and "TR-069" configuration options.
Hi Marky_Doodles2000,
thanks for the information. can you explain more about using the command "tftp" as i don't have a TFTP server? is there any way working with a Windows 7 PC?? Thank you so much.
3. turn off the modern
4. press the reset button while the device is turned off
5. while pressing the reset button, press power on the device
6. after this step, you may see the red colour light on the modern
7. open the browser from your PC to login to recovery console and type
8. the update software screen will appear and click browse, select downloaded and extract firmware file which is from step 1, click update software and wait 2-3 minutes. the light status for power, DSL and ethernet should be green.
9. remove static ip address from your PC and click obtain IP address automatically. login to router's default ip address 192.168.20.1
I can now access the Basic Setup wizard which is hidden by SpinTel, and also removed some other SpinTel specific settings littered everywhere. Best to start from scratch if I'm repurposing it for use with another ISP (in my case, NBN FTTB with iiNet).
I can verify this very simple approach worked for my Exetel locked NF18ACV modem/router, for which I could not disable or modify the preconfigured VoIP settings with the original shipped firmware. As I wanted to repurpose the router by giving it to someone else, I needed to make sure my VoIP credentials weren't going with the device!
url into the browser bar (you replace xxx bit with your actual configured lan ip address for the router, obviously), and then I was taken to the "hidden" firmware update page. (It's been there all the time, the modded Exetel firmware just took it off the menu.)
Once logged in, navigate around a bit to check everything still looks correct (the new style layout might take a minute or two to get used to, but nothing difficult to figure out). The only thing I had to change was deleting my VoIP config from the Voice section (which for me, was the main purpose of the exercise).
i am using a netcomm NF18ACV modem with a WD mycloud ultra2 .is this possible and how with what i have . nearly all devices are connected by wifi to the router , both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, the WD Mycloud is connected by cable to Lan port on the router .
May i ask why, what is the goal for blocking some devices? What type of devices, Wi-Fi or LAN, tablet, PC, console, mobile - what are we trying to block and why? Do you own them or are they guest devices?
i think im asking the impossible , here goes , i have a home network , internet access, wifi , and a personel cloud storage , multiple devices and OS accessing this network.my problem is i would like to have
Requirement 1 is a crazy requirement, not sure why you only local access only but need cloud storage access. Requirement 2, you should look at upgrading your storage device firmware ( Vulnerabilities and a Backdoor Plague Western Digital My Cloud NAS Devices - Security News
Of course, if you have a client on the internal only subnet, that client is obviously not going to be able to access anything on the internet, i.e. data stored in the cloud. Such clients are only able to access internal resources. If you had a device that mirrored the cloud that might work. But I suspect something like AzureStack is out of the price range for a small internal home network. See -computing/truly-understanding-microsoft-s-azure-stack.html for info on Azure Stack. There may well be other open source options that do the same thing, thus allowing your local clients to see a local copy of data that you replicate to/from the cloud.
parental control is the foremost reason for separation of networks ( and ease of use , im getting older, before this device i was not going to give access to the kids ), i would prefer a simple uncomplicated solution, access for tv and media (home movies kids birthdays wedding photos etc ) to home hosted cloud , and important to me a hopefully a secure network for myself , especially knowing i have to access work network on occasion from home.
