    What is the best firmware for SB5100

    Hello All,

    What is the best firmware for the SB5100i, i know there are countless files out there and alot are old revisions but there must be newer and better firmware available.

    As the SB5100 will have a BCM3348KPB chip i would concur with Collider, go for the SB5100Mod 1.04 Beta

    the other would be the 9fc00000 image, dated 18th October 2008

    Re: What is the best firmware for SB5100

    I have flashed the modem but it is just the original actory standard firmware that comes with the SB5100, it doesn't have a 'hack' tab or let you change the mac address. How do you change the mac address with this firmware.

    Cheers for that. There is no documentation on what changes to make so I am guessing that you simply input a valid MAC address and config file and thats it or do we still need to input commands in the webshell.

    Im getting closer to getting it working but there are a few things that elude me.

    Re: What is the best firmware for SB5100

    I have just got a the modem working with a mac from a different UBR, the online light stays on and it says that the modem is 'operational' but the power light at the top now flashes and the modem does not let me go online even though it says its operational ( a DHCP offer was sent and received OK )

    Is there anything that I am doin wrong here?

    the frequency is fine and is locked, it says the modem is operational.In the logs it does say '3 - Critical' 'DHCP WARNING - non critical field invalid in response'.

    But at the top it says 'registration complete'. The top light 'power' is also flashing.
