Angry Ambit 200 - Still wont connect to internet

Hi guys i have an ambit 200 modem here that i have had de-bricked and the firmware loaded onto it. I have entered my frequency which is 331000000 and also a mac address ( which i know is working) but it will not connect to the internet. when i go to the config page 192.168.100.1 it says modem status offline and also the frequency comes up different to the one i have entered also it is coming up with a 3 critical error message on the status page. I dont know what this is but it is doing my head in any help or suggestions to what this could be would be much appreciated
