[Unlock] WRTP54G Unlocked firmware 3.1.27 ETSI

Dear All,
Reading this forum helped me unlock my vonage-locked wrtp54g router.
Since I know something about hex/linux and stuff, I'd like to give back to the community.
Attached is modded (by me) firmware for wrtp54g, version 3.1.27 ETSI. The original is available on openwrt.org.
I loaded on my wrtp54g and it works fine with viatalk and asterisk.
You can unlock your vonage router using standard procedures mentioned many times on this board and load this firmware.
Enjoy!

But remember, that this needs to be modified to be loaded on ex-vonage box...

Has anyone tried this v3.1.27 firmware? I had my WRTP54G-ER unlocked with CYT Unlocker and stowed away for a couple of months. Last week, I took it out to connect to the Internet to find out it got provisioned with this v3.1.27 firmware. Since then, I play around with this firmware and noticed of a support for T.38 CoDec for FAX. Has anyone noticed any new features added to this firmware other than T.38 CoDec?

Correction: My WRTP54G-ER was unlocked using the dd hack and not CYT Unlocker.

On my WRTP54G-NA I have the v3.1.24 linksys firmware (v3.1.22 firmware for voice) and it has the T.38 codec included. I have been using it with minimal problems for almost a year now. The only way that I have managed to get it to work without problems is by getting it to reset at least once a week. I've accomplished this by using an appliance timer. From everything that I have read the problems stem from the cache not being cleared often enough, especially for people who use torrents often. So unless this modded firmware resets and/or clears the cache on a regular preset interval the problems will show up within a week of heavy torrenting.

I am just curious. Do you have a real Linksys WRTP54G-NA device? If so, does it show a WRTP54G-NA symbol on the top-right corner? On our unlocked WRTP54G units, the top-right corner shows a WRTP54G-? symbol.

It shows "WRTP54G" on all tabs but Voice, then it shows "wrtp54g?".

I thought a Linksys WRTP54G-NA will have a WRTP54G-NA shown. Are you sure you have a Linksys WRTP54G-NA device? Can you please confirm this from the label on the back of your device to see if it does a Linksys WRTP54G-NA print?

Hi,

What did you modify on this firmware?

Yes I am positive that it is an unlocked (from the factory) device. I bought it off of voxilla over a year ago at the then full price.

That's interesting because we thought our completely unlocked Linksys/Vonage and/or Linksys WRTP54G-ER units were not able to show a WRTP54G-NA on the top right-hand corner of its VM page. Looks like it is a minor defective logo.

I bought it off of voxilla over a year ago at the then full price.
You must have paid around $150 for your WRTP54G-NA device. I don't suppose your WRTP54G-NA device gives you any problems most of us found on our unlocked WRTP54G devices as reported in this forum. Can you check the VM hardware version of your WRTP54G through its VM Information page? Perhaps, we can do something to find out what causes some of the problems we have encountered.

Re: [Unlock] WRTP54G Unlocked firmware 3.1.27 ETSI

If you read my first post in this thread I share some of the problems I have had with this router. It does have firmware issues that have not been resolved to date. Also when I bought mine the going rate for a vonage locked device was at least $100 plus tax. I paid less than $130 shipped. I think the $20-30 extra I paid was well worth the time i have not spent trying to unlock ect. The documentation was not what it is now a year and a half ago. And this device will never lock back to the original provider as others had problems with in the past.

if that interests you, i paid about 80 bucks for my WRTP54G-NA here in Brazil...anyway, i'm looking for a stable firmware. Don't know if such thing (at least coming from linksys) exists. If only OpenWRT were mature enough for this router...

That's a good deal you got there. Does it show a WRTP54G-NA or WRTP54G-? string on the top right-hand corner of its Voice Module (VM) information page? BTW, I just PMed you and please go to check it out.

Re: [Unlock] WRTP54G Unlocked firmware 3.1.27 ETSI

The product code in the black block on the right in the header is coded into the firmware. The NA firmware does not show WRTP54G-NA. It only shows WRTP54G. If someone simply wants the privilege of seeing it there, decompile the firmware and in the root filesystem, change the /etc/versions file so that your model_name string includes NA. That's all it is. There's no special hardware check to it at all.

By the way, can anyone check number of Wi-Fi channels available with NA version and with ETSI version? Is there any difference?

My unlocked WRTP54G-ER is currently running v3.1.27 (ER version) and only has 1 - 11 channels.

Re: [Unlock] WRTP54G Unlocked firmware 3.1.27 ETSI

I have this router with 3.1.24 firmware, it was from vonage that I bought it on ebay and unlocked by changing its firmware, first version 3.1.17 then 3.1.24

I found the router very unstable, I need to do power cycle once every few days or even once or twice a day. When I am on the phone, sometimes the wireless connection get cut off, etc.

My question is what is the difference between 3.1.24 and 3.1.27 ETSI? Will I be able to use it in the US? Will it solve the problems I am having?

The voip services I am using are voipdiscount, fwd and IPKall.

Thank you very much.

Re: [Unlock] WRTP54G Unlocked firmware 3.1.27 ETSI

I had the same problems with the same router that was flashed to open it up for other providers. I finally gave up and gave it to a relative as a wireless router only. NO VOICE SERVICES.

TOO FLAKY!

I picked this one up for its voip function, should have got a PAP2. I think I will wait for the 3.1.27 NA version.

Re: [Unlock] WRTP54G Unlocked firmware 3.1.27 ETSI

All Linksys adapters have the same bug - if registration failed for some reason it waits too long before retry, looking like dead. The solution - on SIP tab lower the value of "Reg Retry Longs Intvl", I use value 120.

I wish it were that simple. I'm afraid there are serious firmware problems with this model that go beyond registration issues.

Re: [Unlock] WRTP54G Unlocked firmware 3.1.27 ETSI

I've fixed recurrent problems with losing registration using various Sipura models by changing the SIP TI timer value from the default of .5 seconds to one second.

If you look over the board, the WRTP54G has been a real dog in terms of reliability. Apparently, you've had success. Yay!!

Well, I was using a channel (channel 11) that was not being used by any of my neighbors and the connection kept dropping. Yesterday, I changed it to channel 1, which is being used by some neighbors, (not as many as Channel 6) now I think both my wireless connection and my voip got better...

Re: [Unlock] WRTP54G Unlocked firmware 3.1.27 ETSI

I resorted to turning wireless off to get the voip stuff to work better. It seemed like an improvement, but after a while, the poor voice performance returned. What a waste of time, for me at least.

Honestly, I don't know. It just happened I mistakenly connected it to the Internet and it got provisioned by ER before I unlocked it.
