beetel 220bxi

[sarathmenon]

Sorry for the flamish post, looking back it looks awful and more harsh than I intended it to be. Also, I've been doing some research on it, and alternate firmware is not much of a possibility. Their wiki doesn't say good things about the chipset, which is a Broadcom BCM6338 V1.0. So it looks like I am stuck with this device

Yeah yeah, I am a cheap bastard who can't afford a new router

@mac Thanks. !Now I have lost interest in Tomato and Potato !@sarathmenon is too polite in comparison to other postings , concerning me .He has missed one critical point "Novices like me" in my post. May be he thought he is answering a Doctorate in Modem designs/applications.. I think more people have added my name to the "IGNORE" list in this Forum. Good for them ! Keeps BP normal !

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I didn't think my noob query merited a fresh thread. My wonderful ZyXEL Prestige router died, and Airtel replaced it with a Beetel BXI router. After configuration, I went looking for the SNMP configuration tool, but didn't find it. (I use a network monitoring/reporting tool which queries the modem using SNMP.)The specifications page for the Beetel BX router clearly states support for SNMP ver.1 & 2. So am I missing something here? Or is the BXI a model where this is crippled? Any suggestions how to handle this? Needless to say, the browser based configuration interface does not list SNMP among the protocols. Just FTP, TFTP, TELNET, HTTP, ICMP. No luck through the telnet interface either.Would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks, essbebe,Here are my device specs...Board ID: 96338L-2M-16MSoftware Version: V8.11.01.01 Firmware Version: 3.06L.05.A2pB021g.d19d (this is reported as the software version if I use the main.html/Device Info link)Bootloader (CFE) Version: 1.0.37-6.8The board seems the same as yours, barring the 16MB memory which is probably consistent with the ADSL2 rating.The software version seems a different dot version, though. Could updating the software or firmware 'restore' the SNMP service?

If you are confident you can upgrade the Firmware.
Download the FW to say C:/ibf beetel FW
Call Airtel CC with some complaint.Ask the engr( technician ) assistance to UPGd.
Probably he will try and then replace the modem !
Some have done it successfully. I mean the Firmware update.
