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 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.
