Netcomm have posted new firmware for NB9WMAXX on their website. I will try it in the next few days, unless someone has found bugs.

i have just been speaking to Netcomm.
my issues are VOIP drops.......which i have written about before......endlessly.
however we got as far as me being told that my issues were line drops, and thus a Telstra/line noise problem....and not related to the modem.
i asked why was the new firmware _04 developed and was told it was to address a few issues related to a few ISP.
the objective of this call was to make me go away and blame telstra. it was NOT a modem problem.
........and the call dropped at that point ......their end not mine, as i was on a good old telstra landline that is rock solid


i am currently waiting on another connection to Netcomm tech support and hoping for some better understanding.

later.........my second call HAS NOW given me the info that it is in fact Exetel that thefirmware update was developed for in the main. some particular issue that they stated was pretty much an exetel problem.
i have reloaded the new firmware and will hope for better times.
ihave asked the second tech guy to speak to the first and upgrade HIS knowledge base

i get sooooooooooo frustrated when issues occur because u never get an answer that is from the same songsheet from anyone of the players

I know you have NB9W.

this is for NB9WMaxx. Not NB9W. Each hardware have different firmware.

are you meaning me Jared ???

i have the Maxxi for the last about 6-8 weeks.
because of all the hassles i was having i let me con me into getting the Maxxi ......for more money.

the newer firmware for the Maxxi seems to be much more satisfactory.
i dont know of any drops in VOIP that i have had ........not aware of them anyway.
unlike the NB9 w or the first firmware that came with the maxxi modem.
when i picked it up it was then the latest firmward for the maxxi..... but was upgraded some weeks later for exetel customers .............i was informed

Soaper I'm looking at getting the NB9WMAXX, so given your experience with it I'm interested to know if it's still running smoothly 3 weeks later.
Is it performing in both data & voice services?

Cheers

I am about to upgrade my firmware before I reset the router, but it shows that the latest firmware is NB9WMAXX-D111-S306NCM-C01_R09... should I use this edition or the one linked above by Martin?

[soaper]

i seem to have missed these posts sorry

my firmware is
D111-S306NCM-C01_R04

and it is working well.
i am not aware of any VOIP drops or missed calls that was happening before

i havnt looked at any further updates but this one is ok for me right now

[soaper]

again
once more
still
each morning this week..........got to reload the modem to get calls out or in.
usually works after that but today it didnt


i called and got siri lanka and was asked to mail to VOIP which i did and i enabled remote access for exetel to look at my modem

some strange things have been happening and the modem has been on and off.
i assume that exetel was the cause of this ????
i can now call out and call in
my number is 9484 6XXX
HOWEVER
i did call netcomm and they tell me that my problem is that there is a new (AGAIN) stuffing lot of firmware
ending in _10
they emailed me a copy but it will not load.
i get *fatal error* report
they tell me that teh maxxi is just the greatest

given that my phone is now working......what should i do??
try again to reload the _10 version

i am sooo over this firmware thing.

does anyone have the page at netcomm where the downloads are please?
i can never ever find it and given the one they emailed me is not going to work........i had best try and dowmload myself

thanks


adding........... i have finally found the firmware and downloaded it ok but will wait for advice before upgrading

[soaper]

i didnt hear back from anyone

i waited for ages to get connected to VOIP assist and didnt get thro

i have downloaded the supposedly last firmware version and the phone is working
