I have a cisco 857w router, and am having some difficulty getting it

thanks, that may be the problem. Do you need a support contract with
cisco to get the IOS software ? |

There is a DSL firmware patch that may be available if you
do not have a contract.
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/access/800/
No idea if it will help in your case or not. |

The ADSL modem firmware updates available under that URL can be downloaded
without a support contract. I would highly recomment upgrading the firmware
because my 877W was unusable before the update.

Running a Cisco without one is difficult anywhere because you can't
even get security updates for free.
But you probably can't expect the service from Cisco that you e.g. get
from Linksys or Netgear. You did after all only pay ten times as much
for your Cisco router. ;-)
Kind regards

I did not mean to imply support or otherwise for
ADSL2/2+ in any particular version.
I have now looked it up.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6441/prod_release_note09186a00804a19a2.html
"Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)T introduces ADSL2 and ADSL2+
features for the Cisco 857, Cisco 876 and Cisco 877
routers. For "dsl operating-mode" configuration,
see the following: "
Support is not that expensive for what you get. |
