I wonder is my Safecom SWAMR-54108 running the RouterTech_3.6.0D_20070227_2.20 firmware can connect to my new ISP (BE unlimited)

the connection setup it uses is as follows

****
VCI= 101
VPI= 0
DSL Connectivity Mode: RFC 1483 bridged
Protocol: IPoATM
Encapsulation: LLC -based
Modulation: G.dmt 992.5 Annex A (Annex M for Be Pro members)

No username and password are required to use Be*'s service.
***

Ive tried to setup the connection, screenshot attached but I'm unable to connect.

is it possible to use my router, if so how

You are using the wrong connection type.

From the Connection Type drop-down box, choose either Static or DHCP. Then set the "Encapsulation" to LLC and the "Mode" at the bottom to Bridge and not Routed.

I am on Be* Pro, with my RT router, I get a much higher Upload Sync @2.7Mbit (2.3 on the speedtouch), with a little lower Download sync (when compared to the speedtouch). I bridge my RT router to my Speedtouch. So I can use the RT capabilities.

There has been some discussion before that Be is MAC locked, is it no longer needed to change the DSL MAC address?

thanks for that, unfortunately with my Safecom router it runs slower, it only connects at 8bm, while the bebox connects at 11, must be the hardware in the router

Definitely not MAC locked, just wrong connection type.

It doesn't seem to be MAC locked, but I may be wrong
