Multiple links on this site refer to important settings required for a successful flash. In addition, they ask users to use what may be unfamiliar terms. Here is an explanation of some of them. Please also see Security. Thank you - clock.

Disable Compound TCP

  1. Vista and some other operating systems have something called "Compound TCP". [1]. If enabled, it may prevent a successful installation. To accomodate it, you have to:
    1. Go to the command prompt (go to lower left of your screen, hit the icon ("Start" or a circle) and write CMD in the input/search area right above your cursor. A black screen will emerge).
    2. See this link [2] for specific commands for your particular operating system.
    3. You will have to disable it while updating your modem, then enable it again at the end.

Disable Wireless

  1. You must disable wireless during almost any modem firmware changes. Simply logging off your wireless will not work.
    1. Go to Network Connections (Vista: Control Panel->Network and Internet -> Network Connections).
    2. Double click on Wireless Internet Connection and hit Disable at the bottom of the screen.

Enable TFTP

  • Wise to do even if you do not intend to use it; if the web GUI goes down, you may have to. See TFTP flash#TFTP Tools.

Hard Reset or 30/30/30 Reset

Ping

  1. Go to the cmd screen (Windows: go to lower left of your screen, hit the icon ("Start" or a circle) and write CMD in the input/search area right above your cursor. A black screen will emerge).
  2. To ping a modem, enter "ping 192.168.1.1" (or whatever the modem should be). Hit enter.

Power Cycle

  • Simply means unplugging your router, waiting about 10 seconds, and plugging it back in.
