Yeah, I read through the readme. :/ I've just gone through and checked the files again; seems I had a bad install of the vb6 runtimes and mswinsck.ocx. All working now though thank you :D

Please see the readme file that comes with the RUC. It sounds like telnet has not been enabled on your router...

This is Trust 108Mbs superg wireless router which does not have any telnet option in the settings and has no firmware upgrade from the trust website. The router is running ok, but I would like to know what chipset etc it is and if it can be upgraded.

108 SuperG means it is Atheros, are the devices reference here similar?

v1.2.0 under Vista

Post by Pcb1 » Fri Jan 04, 2008 1:04 pm

Hi all,

I had some fun getting the RUC 1.2.0 talking to by Netcomm nb5plus4W (v2 firmware - TNETW1350A), from my vista machine.

Firstly, I was missing the relevant winsock.ocx and vb runtimes (and had to actually read the readme, then)

Once I got past that, the upgrade check was getting to about 22% and stalling. All running in debug mode/showing the report told me was that it was successfully logging in...and then, apparently sitting at the prompt. (similar to what felixmarra described).

So, I decided to telnet to the router myself, and see what happened. which lead to my second problem - not being able to find telnet (not essential, since I had PuTTY installed, but still). Vista does include it - it's just not enabled, by default. to turn it on:
1. Open ‘Control Panel’

2. Select ‘Programs and Features’

3. In the left column, select ‘Turn Windows features on or off’ (get ready for the annoying UAC prompt)

4. Check the box next to telnet (and any other obscure services you may want enabled), and wait while Vista thinks for a while.
(from http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=1227)

Now armed with telnet, I connected to the router, logged in, ran 'help' at the CLI...and my telnet session froze. So, I tried again. This time, I managed to run a second command before my telnet session froze.

Telnet worked perfectly from my BSD box, from under ubuntu, and from xp.

It turns out to be something to do with vista's tcpip-autotuning and the fix is to run, from the command line (as administrator):

Code: Select all

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable
A couple of notes:
- this setting (apparently) doesn't survive the computer being restarted. There's probably a registry hack or something that can be used to accomplish the same thing
- it has to be run as administrator - otherwise, you'll get an 'elevated privileges required' error

This seemed to do the trick as far as telnet was concerned - so I tried RUC again. this time, it got to 100% and crashed with:

Code: Select all

Run-time error '91':
Object variable or With block variable not set 
...which, as per Neo's post, disappeared if I unticked 'Backup current config'

...with that done, it turns out my router is (surprise, surprise) a candidate for routertech-ROHS-ar7wrd-pspboot-firmware-20071020.zip. So the moral of the story is... actually, I'm not sure what the moral of the story is.

But Someone might find it useful. :wink:

Many thanks for your detailed report, Pcb1 :)

I'm sure people with using Vista with similar routers/firmwares will benefit from it ;)

And perhaps Neo could write some code to detect Vista, and, if so, do some of these fixes in the background?

Run-time error with Router Upgrade Check V1.20

Post by ecstech » Wed Jan 30, 2008 4:52 pm

I've just downloaded the Router Upgrade Check by Neo - 1.2.0 and it pops up a wee window with : "Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range."
when it had got to 100%.

It did produce a file.
No idea if it's complete or not.

I enclose it here.
File name was

Router was bought from Ebuyer for £15!
So I'm not expecting a lot.

I read the readme.txt which asked me to look to see if I had :

cm_cli_tty
firmwares.lst
readme.txt (this file)
routers.txt
ruc.exe


I did.

I also have VB6 on my PC.

I don't have shdocvw.oca but as I've never heard of this file and the readme doesn't say how important it is or where to get it, I ignored it.
:shock:


When I untick the options to save the various files it attempts to make, it then works.


BTW, the first message I see popping up is:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
Warning! Your switch may not function correctly
---------------------------
Your router does not have a Marvell switch and so your switch is not supported.

Your Ethernet ports may or may not function correctly with a RouterTech firmware.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Followed by :

Code: Select all

---------------------------
Warning! Your switch may not function correctly
---------------------------
Some PTI routers have Realtek switches which are not supported.

Your Ethernet ports may or may not function correctly with a RouterTech firmware.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------
Then finally:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
Upgrade possible
---------------------------
Select an AR7RD PSPBOOT 4 PORT firmware.

Latest: routertech-ar7rd-pspboot-4ports-firmware-20070604.zip

Please read the instructions that come with the firmware files before you upgrade.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------
So does this mean I can ignore the first two messages and make use of the firmware?

It's a bit ambiguous to my mind.
:oops:

No. You ignore them at your peril. If your switch is unsupported, at best, you will be unable to configure the ethernet ports. At worst, your ethernet ports will not work at all, and you will need the PcTool to restore a working firmware. Always fear the worst.
