Some people have reported new TFTP server IP's and the inability to force config's anymore.

We know that the config file names are changing.

We know that it is VM's intention to role out the 50mb on new DOCSIS 3. New shiny black modems will be sent out for this purpose. So far DOCSIS 3 is secure and isn't hackable at present.

VM also intend to shift the higher end configs to DOCSIS 3. Leaving the bottom end on DOCSIS 1/2. (am I right here?)

Any modem from the Ambit 200 (with sigma) onwards is able to do DOCSIS 2. (again, correct me if i'm wrong)

I am in C+W, up north. I am still forcing any config I like on the pre-2009 TFTP server IP's.
When I use the new ones, I have force config enable and it connects but the modem only runs at the speed of the config.

When using Haxorware, I am able to bypass the FTFP server and have uploaded my config I have downloaded using the downloader within Haxorware. I have uploaded the biz config and my modem runs at 20mb down and 1mb up.

Can we post our findings to do with these changes here, including any new config filenames and accociated speed.

Thanks.

Hi there, is it possible to do a step by step guide from the 192.168.100.1 page please. Its doing my head in. Would be much appreciated. Thanks

By the way, this is using ambit 250 modem running Infinite.

I hope this is of some use to someone.

Update - just put haxorware on both my modems, over Infinite, and forced the above config. Everything sweet and running as expected. One thing I did notice is that the tftp server address I was using with Infinite has changed, as have the frequencies.
