Help with 250 modem

[Sparky21]

Hi all, this is my first post and yes i need info lol!

My modem will only connect at 300k, how can i speed it up?
Ive spent most of last night reading posts (about 8 hours) so have done me homework, but to no avail (think i have info overkill)...
What i want to know is, to change me mac code, do i need any hardware etc, and will changeing the mac code speed me up ?
Plz include a noob guide to ure replys...

Many thanks
Sparky

Firstly are you talking about a subbed modem or one with `updated` firmware?

I'm going to assume you already have a flashed modem.
If this is the case, change the mac.
EVERYTHING you need is in the stickies at the top of this forum.
250_configurator will allow you to access the modem and change the mac and config file (the config tells the modem what speed to use).

If the above makes NO sense to you, then you haven't researched enough!

Like i asked before, do i need hardware to do the above??

Incidently, i thought the idea of a forum was to help one another ! Not type sarcy replies, i have researched, spent hours doing so, am still no wiser alltho picked a few things up , surely it would of been easier just to answer question fully, instead of making noobs feel a "dick"

mrcrisp's is advice is sound, all the info you need is here you just have to search for it. carnt you imagine the amount of new forum users who post the same question again & again

the idea of a forum is to help one another, please don't bite the hand that feeds you or you will find that you will stay hungry for a long time.

I'm helping you to help yourself, if that's okay.
You do not need any hardware other than connecting your updated modem to your network ethernet port and using 250_configurator.

You haven't really given us enough information for us to be much of a help.

Again, i'm assuming you have an modem that is already `updated`, so no, you need no additional hardware.

how have you got your modem connected to your pc?
disconect your cable feed & connect a ethernet cable to your modem & pc.
turn all firewalls off.

then try 250configurator, if your using the username "admin" password "infinite" and you still cannot connect it looks like they were changed when the modem was flashed, chat with whoever you got the modem off to get the correct passwords.

there is a way you can find the correct username and password but you will need a MAX232 Interface & serial cable.

make sure you put the full address in it is:
http://192.168.100.1

also when it asks for the user/pass they are:

user : Infinite
Pass : SetValue

exactly spelled above with capitals ok?
