Re: Need 1.93 firmware for SMC 7004BR
Thanks badcrc0, your steps and firmware works on my 3com 3c510 also.
I just want to clarify a little bit for other ppl regarding step# 2 & 3
Some ppl that never use DOS might be confuse with tftp and where they have to put the file, my suggestion would be to download TFTPD32 from »tftpd32.jounin.net/
after the Orange light (M1) flash rapidly, DO NOT TURN OFF THE ROUTER, NOW go to your PC
Open up TFTPD32 and click on the tab tftp client:
- Host: put IP of the ROUTER (192.168.123.254 - SMC or 192.168.2.1 - 3com)
- Local File: put the edited BR193P.BIN -- click on the small button on the right and locate the file.
- Leave other field the way it is.
- Click Put button wait till it give pop up message that it says successful.
Follow the rest of badcrc0 instruction
PS: you could just run the update .exe directly without having to do the crash recovery again (ie. the 3 and 8 pin thing) |

| Thanks for the verification slumpack. I also wanted to add that one of the reasons I wanted the new firmware was to increase my WAN throughput. I was topping off at about 4.5mbit when my ISP actually has 8mbit. After the 1.96h3 firmware update I'm almost getting 7mbit. |

| I also noted that I was having issues with my Barricade on a Comcast connection, after they went from 3.0 MB to 6.0MB. The 6.0 MB connection was also constantly locking up the Barricade to the point where I would have to do a soft reset weekly.
Personally, I was very happy with the 3.0 MB connection. I'm no longer with Comcast due to their Blackmailing and the lousy CATV service and excessive costs.
Does this work with the 7004ABR units also?
