Official Technicolor Telnet CLI reference on Still though we have found a solution to get by with: Technicolor routers feature a built-in Telnet interface and using this a user can set the parts unreachable via the web admin tool.įor those who are still interested, this is described here at:. It seems we are not alone - web is replete with reports of such issues. This would have made our problem somewhat easier to fix. The other thing that doesn't work is the tool for 'configuration backup and restore'. For some reason though, configuring it via web browser is somewhat fraught with gremlins which have only recently crept in hence the reason for seeking a firmware update. It transpires our router works ok across the board. Thanks for this - at times like these it seems a replacement router is an appealing option. We'd be grateful to know how though please.
#TECHNICOLOR ROUTER TC8717T FIRMWARE UPDATE UPDATE#
This figures too as our router never really resets cleanly despite using both the hardware and software options.Īs we understand it this is very old but at the same time there seems no official way to update this. We've been through this process almost 2 dozen times recently and it never seems to go away.Īccording to most of the sources we can find, these problems affect a dozen or so Technicolor routers and the answer invariably is to update the firmware to fully clear any corrupt internal files. Of course it means having to set up the router again. At times, the only way past it is to reset to factory - first using the hardware button on the back of the unit which then *must* be followed by the reset option within the control interface. Our router often breaks the basic remote access using the default Administrator account and even when this is not an issue, it often presents " Access Error: 500" on certain config pages. We have this issue too inasmuch as we need our router to be updated because of frequently experiencing issues accessing the router administration interface.
