Yes Jim, I've never seen an ADSL wireless router so cheap! I suspect they (627 of them) have been offloaded perhaps due to a new model superceding them or a firmware defect that will need correcting. I have checked and there is a fw update 1.45 on their website. Anyway they can't possibly be as bad ...

This model (r-ADSL-C4-W-G1)
Is sold currently on Ebuyer for £14-99!!!!

Can it be made RT compatible? As otherwise it looks like a bit of a snip.
Does anyone know anything about it (chipset etc)?

Thanks Chief, Yes I can concur that Multimode does work when I select it manually. As you rightly say it is just that it doesn't appear to work with this particular router automatically. Ie I would recommend anyone using the RT firmware for this router (The non-wireless 4-port psbl loader version) t...

Ok I seem to have sorted it. So here is the info for others. The RT modem setup screen needs to be accessed login/setup/Wan setup/modem and the *correction* Multimode option needs to be selected and then saved with a save all. *Correction* This seems to correct any ADSL mod problems that occur when ...

I have bought 3 of these http://www.ebuyer.com/product/90976 and in the ebuyer notes (and indeed in the RT router checker) it identifies this new small white 4 port router as a *correction* Paradigm PTI having a PSBL bootloader. It takes the PSBL RT firmware (I then restore factory settings) but the...

BTW - what O/S was loaded on the Dual Core PC ? Winxp. I have sometimes had trouble with the LAN ports on this Asus motherboard that has Marvell Yukon Gigabyte LAN on it. Seriously tho :D how have SC got the nerve to put this router out into the marketplace with a fw that doesn't work (for over a y...

What does ipconfig/all show on the Pc when you get the error in PCTOOL ? Screenshot provided Chief I think my different MODETTY values can be explained because i am using a serial console lead on com3 according to the com values suggested by Biro. I am going to try to use another computer to do the...

OK I have tried FTPing and get a data connection error.

Thanks to all for suggestions. I have a complete saved environment table. I am using Winxp, but not sure how to reformat the flash; the command says i need memory locations (fmt command). I will try out suggestions and get back to you all. Serial console at present says "Os not booting" It returns t...

Did you restart the pctool and/or the router after setting the variable? Yes and I have discovered the correct mtd settings from a working router which are:- mtd0 0x900a0000,0x90400000 mtd1 0x90020000,0x900a0000 mtd2 0x90000000,0x90010000 mtd3 0x90010000,0x90020000 mtd4 0x90020000,0x90400000 But I ...

I tried the new mtd4 settings but the SStor command would not send the firmware img image in Pctools.

This router came with the flawed SC v5 firmware that has now been pulled by SC. This obviously doesn't work so I tried to use another SC firmware (seeing as the Routertech fw doesn't yet work with this new model) I have managed to brick the router and need a copy of the SC v5 firmware to restore the...

Thanks Chief and Syborg,
Now I know I can delete it as necessary.
