| reply to Bicephale Hey guys,
From what people told me, my high ping could be due to my modem, take a look at my tracert;
Tracing route to google.ca [72.14.207.104] over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 48 ms 99 ms 100 ms speedtouch.lan [192.168.1.254] 2 * * * Request timed out. 3 225 ms 212 ms 230 ms core1.tor.primus.ca [216.254.131.165] ... do you think it has to do with my firmware? i have a st516
thanks |

| Hi,
I'm mainly focussed on user-level noise experiments and SpeedTouch specialists often gather in the TekSavvy forum so that's where i'd ask. Should you happen to be curious about the v8 FirmWare for your ST516, i might have replied you've most probably reached a dead end, that this is for Thomson's TG585 and similar, but it's not what you're asking.

This thread should be locked, anyway... |

| Well, i'll appologize myself because i certainly don't want to sound rude or anything. Maybe i should have used a more diplomatic style but i suppose you get the idea. This thread being about Thomson's FirmWares i'm afraid there's just nothing left for us to discuss here, since it ends at FW v7.4.4.7 for ST5x6 owners and that latest Thomson release is getting old...

join:2009-01-07 | reply to Bicephale Soo, I got two 516's and I am trying to get the RCO for one I upgraded to Software Release: 7.2.0.8 and DMT won't show the RCO with this version so is there an upgrade that works or do I need to downgrade to a V6 firmware. |

4 edits | Hi,
This is a rather long thread to re-read so here's the news: Thomson started to make their FirmWare 'DMT'-hostile with the v6.1 releases, meaning you have no other choice than to DownGrade to get the RCO information - unless you simply ask your ISP to obtain it from Bell's side.
Don't count on future FirmWare versions, the TG line of products has taken over...
Dream of the SpeedTouch line reaching v8 if you must but i won't bet on it anyway!

Oh, but i forget to mention that it's not necessarily the end of 3rd-party tools:
»Yet Another Modem Statistics tool
This one tells so much more than just a few numbers representing short slices of the day which measure in milliseconds!!!

| Good for you! Sorry but i won't rewrite my reply, though...
There are eleven International FirmWares available from the 14th link of the initial post (which has grown old), two more if you don't pay attention to that. A google search for the "SpeedTouch ZZQIAA" string would have got you even more:
'ZZQIAA#.###' Int'l:
5.3.2.6 5.3.3.4 5.4.0.14 6.1.0.5 6.2.15.5 6.2.16.3 6.2.17.5 6.2.29.2 7.2.0.8 7.4.1.7 7.4.3.2
'ZZQIAA#.###' Deutsch:
5.4.4.1 6.1.9.6
'ZZQIAA#.###' (Bonus):
»download.modem-help.co.uk/mfcs-A···irmware/ 6.1.4.6 8.2.1.5 8.2.2.?
Good luck finding out which works best for you!!!

| reply to Bicephale hey there, i have a speedtouch 516v6 and i cant seem to get it to connect to the internet. i set it as pppoe first, entered in my username and password for my isp through the setup wizard and everything, but still nothing. so i set it to bridged mode and tried connecting through xp but that gave me an error saying "connecting through wan miniport (pppoe) the device returned an error". i also tried setting it to bridged mode then connecting it to my wrt54gs with tomato firmware but that didnt connect either. i am currently running on the latest firmware found on this site: »mirror.opensourcehub.com/pub/spe···ST516v6/ any help would be greatly appreciated  |

Hi,
Your configuration files might be corrupted... You can make sure they are gone before you invoke the wizard by proceeding as i've shown above. One of these URLs should launch whatever you've defined as your default FTP application:
ftp://10.0.0.138/dl/ ftp://speedtouch.lan/dl/ ftp://dsldevice.lan/dl/ ftp://192.168.1.254/dl/
Starting from there, if you still can get the MoDem connected i'd check the VPI/VCP pairs and use this GUI resource as a 1st test:
Home > Broadband Connection > Internet Services > Connectivity Check
That's pretty much basic. If you can't get any satisfying feedback from you MoDem/Router at this stage then the TelNet CLI bible is going to be your next stop, i suppose... |

| Hi,
The 6.1.4.6 UK version was made 'DMT'-hostile but it will still work with it. As proof, this animated .GIF made of successive captures:

If your problem is with the VPI/VCI pair then just edit the setup files mentioned previously in this thread. If you must insist to try an older FirmWare then i suppose this post may suit you better:
