New Firmware for Fritz!Box 7390

[Ardua]

The link for beta 22182 is here:

ftp://service.avm.de/Beta/FRITZ!Box%207390%20int/

I am reluctant to fiddle with my box as I am still in the FTTC 10-day training period. I would be interested to know from anyone on FTTC whether this sorts out the PSTN CLID issue. I had CLID for about 36 hours but it has now disappeared.

International version?

International version?

According to the guy on the Whirlpool site - 'Yes'. Other 3rd party sites are showing that an international version was released yesterday. Just Google Fritz!Box 7390 22182. The only problem is that when I download a file, I get a 15.2Mb file titled 'Unknown'. Apart from the loss of CLID, version 21 is working fine for me. My instincts tell me to leave it to others to take the plunge first.

I've downloaded it, but I haven't checked out the file, besides I have a Draytek 2800VG running at the mo. As you say we'll let others steam in first

This particular beta seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet. I received an e-mail from AVM suggesting I try the beta as a solution for the CLI problem that I have now got following my update to FTTC. The link that they provided does not work and I cannot find the file on their ftp server. I see that Internode have also withdrawn all reference to it.

I'm sure something could be sorted if you want to try it

I finally got it from a German site. I installed it last night and CLI worked for about an hour. So much for AVM's advice that the beta included optimised software for CLIP. Fortunately, the updated software has not affected my FTTC connection. I have reported back to AVM and no doubt they will get back to me with further advice.

[Ardua]

Was just looking for a way to revert back to v21 and I came across this on the AVM site: FRITZ!OS 05.22 (84.05.22). I think that the changes are only minor but I will probably update to get rid of the beta.

Edit:  I have version 22.22182 beta installed and I cannot update the firmware via the FB. May be just a glitch.

Edit 2: I have just installed via the ftp server. No problems but still no CLI on my line.

Does the firmware update overwrite all the manual configuration changes made, eg ports that have been opened?

I am not sure about ports but other configuration changes are unaffected; e.g., FTTC settings (password etc), DECT settings....  Before pressing the upgrade button in the GUI, you would be well advised to Save Settings which can be restored if anything goes wrong. That said, FB upgrades are usually a pain-free exercise. Version 22 has been out since April. My FTTC connection is stable but I only get CLID about 50% of the time and the phantom call issue is still present

I've been using the BT OR modem for sometime, could someone let me have their settings for connecting via the Fritzbox please?

Sorted it for you Glenn

[Steve]

Which one is correct the quote or the post

[Glenn]

Sorted it for you Glenn

Mine doesn't connect with VPI 1 & VCI 32

[Glenn]

It is showing that my line is wrongly configured at max throughput 40/20

[Steve]

That's interesting Glenn as I suspect mine is but in the opposite direction. However you may lose some latency like me if they push you above 40. Can you get the max attenaimable sync on 17a from the Fritz ? ( like you can from a hacked Huawei

[Glenn]

I just tried 1, 32 again, now it's working.

Yes. You get the same stats as you get with ADSL. My attainable rates are 100 and 32.

It did take a while the first time I connected

[Steve]

Yes. You get the same stats as you get with ADSL. My attainable rates are 100 and 32.

So is that the same figure as max attainable rate of 32840 on Glenn's image?

[Glenn]

I think so Steve. Before I started playing, I was getting 36000kbs +, but I think several disconnections may have taken it's toll.

[Steve]

I get the impression that BT on 80/20 can go either way on marginal connections i.e. more on the downstream or more on the upstream whether that's by choice,randomness or connection type I've no idea.

[Lance]

And sadly neither do BT!

[Glenn]

Apparently, according to support my line is on a 80/20 connection
