Ambit 250 Southern Ireland, can't get online - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi guy's, I'm hoping some of you that are more savvy to this than me might be able to help me out as I've spent hours googling but still can't seem to get online

Basically a buddy of mine from the UK sent me over a Ambit 250 with the latest Haxorware firmware installed.
He then told me how to got through the settings to get online but I've had no luck, he's thinking it could be something to do with the freq but not 100% sure.

I went into the Haxorware menu, I did a factory default, I went into baseline and disabled Bpi, I went into freq and put the 1st one to 402750000 and saved & reboot.

After that still no joy, just the ethernet light flashes on the modem.

Any idea's on this guy's ?

Would the Freq be the same for Dublin, Ireland as N*L UK ? I'm N*L Dublin.

All info appreciated

Cheers

Still no luck, I tried the freq in 666 post and also I've tried 452000000 as suggested by blobbins but still no luck.

Blobbins,

Care to share with us all why he should return the modem "to the useless trader" that sent it to him?

The useless trader that sent it to him sync'd it up on his own network first, so before you go labelling people as useless, think about what you are saying, yes?
