Re: Uniden ENR-1504 router?
Ok confirmed: NetGear RP614 v2 is also DR-E640 Broadband router. So there you have it. Go to netgear website and/or ftp servers to see if they have v2 firmware. I dont know if the firmware can be flashed from the other unit though. I would assume it will work, but the question is whether it will accept a firmware from NetGear or if it checks to make sure its from Uniden. |

| OK, I tried to load the RP614v2 firmware and, of course, it did not work (complained about wrong firmware.) I don't have time to play with it now but will do it next week---does anyone know how they register firmware to a specific manufacturer (some kind of ID string in the firmware file?) |

Ok I just got the router today. Seems to work fine right now with no problems. I do want to update the firmware, and your right, the Netgear firmware checks the previous firmware and sees it wasnt Netgear firmware. We need a hack here. Hmm. First of all Ill email uniden to see if they have any beta firmware of their own. |

| The netgear firmware can be found on netgear's support site.
I called Uniden tech support yesterday about the MAC spoofing problem. They were clueless! Of course, they blamed it on me, my equipment, provider etc. The fellow I spoke with essentially did not know much about the router (did I mention they have not replied to my email request for support---it did say all emails are answered within 24 hours!)
Anyhow, I asked them about new firmware and he said there isn't any (but then again, he said I could just download it directly from their site into the router, if there was one!? Ugh, I love knowledgable tech support.) |

| I guess I forgot to mention that MAC spoofing/cloning does not seem to work on my 1504. Tried it several times, both connected directly to my cable modem and to another router and neither would recognize the cloned MAC. 1504 was always identified by its true MAC. |

I had the same problem when I called them. They are supposed to call me back. This was two days ago. I'm pissed and i'm going to return this POS. |

Have you tried dropping to command line and using switches to force the firmware to write without confirm/complain? You can do a "/?" to see what switches it accepts. |

How do you drop to command line? Are you able to get a shell through telnet? Or, did you connect a serial terminal to the internal UART connector (with a level shifter?)?
Please, clarify.
Thanks,
