Re: Getting a WRTp54G to take 3.1.17-NA...
said by boonkang  :Hello, Rcilink. I have a VTech IP8100, like WRTP54G and RTP300, it runs a TI AR7 platform. Does this mean that IP8a00 can also take the advantage of firmware like 1.00.62-NA and 3.1.17-NA ? No. It doesn't work this way. But you can still use CYT to unlock it. |

WRTP54g DST rule
WRTP54g DST rule
Does anyone know what I should write in the DST rule in my Regional Settings on my WRTP54G. The rule should be:
* begins at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday of March and
* ends at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of November
Please help thanks. |

Re: Getting a WRTp54G to take 3.1.17-NA...
Very nice site. I have my Vonage router unlocked!
Wov!
Does anyone know whether it works also for EARTHLINK ?
My friend asked me for advice - he has Earthlink dedicated WRTp54G router.
Thanks in advance for reply and again for HEX edit codes! |

Well, I tried but it looks like ProductID is in protected memory.
Tried within BusyBox and PSPBoot.
#echo "ProductID CYLM" >/proc/ticfg/env
Sep 8 12:00:29 [0014xxxxxxxx] : adam2_env_set_variable(ProductID,CYLM) 1
Sep 8 12:00:29 [0014xxxxxxxx] Env: ProductID is read-only.

Sep 8 12:00:29 [0014xxxxxxxx] : adam2_env_set_variable(ProductID,CYLM) 1

Thank you so much for the new firmware bombel. Works great, I will know more after I test it for a few weeks, to see how it holds. But thank you. There's one thing I don't understand, on the first page, when it asks me for my user name and password I see the word "age" in the top left corner, why is that? |

I know it's easy to modify NA firmware images to load onto our routers but has anyone tried changing the ProductID under PSPBoot?
I've enabled console access on my WRTP, but don't want to attempt any changes just yet.
»wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Har···/WRTP54G
It might be as easy as simply changing the environment variable then rebooting. Or you may need to TFTP an NA image (matching ProductID) before rebooting??? |

Linksys updated their site, and no longer has the WRTP54G-NA listed as a model on their site. Will the RTP300 firmware work just as well (after the modifications of course), or will that firmware disable the wireless capability since the RTP300 doesn't have WiFi? |

There won't be link to for-usa-customers-only linksys site, because wifi channels 12-14 are in usa banned, so linksys can't release it for you.
The firmware i uploaded is European version, but WRTP54G , WRTP54G-NA and WRTP54G-EU have all the same hardware. |

said by bombel321 :I have newest firmware for us. 3.1.22.ETSI . Version for ex-Vonage WRTP54G (CYWM changed to CYWL and recalculated checksum). Is there an original version of the 3.1.22 firmware? While an already-modified version of the file is certainly much easier to work with, I prefer to do all the modifications myself... yanno, it never hurts to be safe when working with this kind of stuff. 
A link to the Linksys site would be required for me to believe it trustworthy.
Thanks! |

That HEXedit software you are using wants to display (at the bottom) the current 'position', not the 'offset' value. The HEXedit software I use will tell me the offset at the bottom of the screen view.
The offset is supposed to be the number of bytes from the first byte. So, 23 bytes from the first byte is the "4D" in that firmware that gets changed to "4C".
Hope this helps you out. |

said by rcilink :1. Change HEX offset 23 from 4D to 4C. 2. Change the last four bytes to: AB 3A 49 5D Hey RC.
I have a question.
Do you suppose to include the very first byte when you do your math thing?
You might think it's weird that I ask, but look in the attachments, please.
Actually 4d byte is number 24, if you start counting from the very first one (43)...
Are the four bytes colored-circled in my attachment the last four you are talking about?
Thanks much. |

RCILINK:
Thank you for your extensive answer, I get a better idea what path take with Vonage service and my router. Could you refer where get new version firmware that Vonage is experimenting. I get one 1.00.64 but I red that Vonage downgrade to the 1.00.62 when connects.
Thanks

It sounds like you are trying to load 3.1.17-NA on a device you indend to use with Vonage.
I encourage you to review the terms of service for your Vonage service, as you will find that any modification/tampering (etc) with the telephone adapter gives them the opportunity to cancel your account.
Indeed, Vonage cares and will not give you access to the voice area of the router. There has been exceptions with the old Cisco ATA (they used to let you pay a small fee to get full access.. no idea if this is still a possibility).
With respect to the Vonage terms, CYT will not preserve any of your user account settings. The purpose of CYT was to allow you to "re-use" the device after you have discontinued your Vonage phone service. An effort to lower the number of units being tossed in the landfill..
Now, a more technical answer:
The Vonage WRTP54G most often will be found with 1.00.62 firmware. They are experimenting with some new versions (1.01.07 and 3.1.x versions have been spotted).
The 1.00.62 firmware uses a SIP (voice) interface that closely matches the RADVision SIP toolkit (it uses the SIP toolkit behind the scenes).
The 3.1.xx versions offer a different user interface for the SIP (voice) pages. Although it is still using some of the RADVision SIP toolkit, the 'look and feel' very closely resembles the Linksys PAP2 configuration menus.
A big difference between these versions is the provision system. The 1.00.62 handles provisioning in the router section of the device. The provision file can change settings in the router and the voice areas. This config file is encrypted with a RC4 key. The "factory" key appears to be a hash with the unique Admin password and the seed key stored in flash at factory burn-in. The 3.1.xx versions use a provision system similar to the Linksys PAP2 (based on SIPURA technology). This is very different and is not RC4 encrypted as previously done in the 1.00.62 version.
So, as you may imagine, the vonage provision server is not going to know that your device wants the new format provision file, and your device will never auto-provision itself.
For them to roll-out this upgrade, some "behind-the-scenes" stuff is done in the WRTP54G device. For example, a new partition is created in flash memory called "fpar". This is the partition that stores the SIPURA config. Previously, it was stored in the standard provision areas (CONFIG_A and CONFIG_B).
I am sorry I can not assist you in getting this firmware update working with Vonage. I am not saying it is impossible. It is just outside their TOS, so I am not going there. The choices you make are made by you, and by making such choices, you assume full liability for your actions.
To answer your original question: The best firmware for the Vonage users is the firmware they push to your device. Some have had success calling into the support line and asking them to downgrade (or upgrade) the firmware -- to try to fix problems (look at the vonage forums site for more info on them). |

What is the best firmware for the Vonage users?
I red all the thread and the most of the questions are how use this Vonage router with other providers. But few indications how use the 3.1.XX with Vonage.
Really I think tha Vonage don't care about give the user control over their routers, I prefer use 3.1.XX version but I don't know how setup the voice part yet.
Some indications says install the Vonage firmware, provision it and extract the Vonage XML config, but not indicate how implement on the router later when you upgrade to 3.1.XX Maybe I need a TFTP server on my PC.
So maybe RCLINK or somebody else could help give some indications about how use the 3.1.xx firmware with Vonage.
Thanks

I have newest firmware for us.
3.1.22.ETSI . Version for ex-Vonage WRTP54G (CYWM changed to CYWL and recalculated checksum).
All passwords as in 3.1.17 (upgrading firmware does not reset configuration of router and voice).
Some bugs fixed (e.g. Ping and Traceroute).
Works ok.
Size: 3 866 632 Bytes
MD5: 7316e897b644a421385fa2aac1d8aee6
edit:
Great idea from PAP2 is now in ours WRTP54G! dial: ****
Example, for get know yourr IP dial: ****110#
You can also enable/disable web configuration or restart router remotely.
Complete list of codes is on page 8 of PAP2T user manual from www.linksys.com |

Rcilink,
Thanks for the greate help. Do you recommend 3.1.17 firmware or the 10.00.62?
What is the right digit map for a WRTP54G? is it the following: *xxT|*1xx|[349]11|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxx|[2-9]xxxxxxT|[2-9]xxxxxxxxx|011x.T
Appreciate your help!

Is it possible to backup the voice settings as you would the rest of the router settings?
If yes how?
Somebody can explain me if the 3.1.17 version can works with Vonage.
