Sagem F@ST 2504 No Internet Connection

Isitme, thats because skys firmware basically renders them all as useless as each other.

Flashing it however could brick your router.

Ofcourse he wouldn't tell them he bought a router from ebay, however i would say my light stays orange all the time, they might replace it for free.

Flashing the Sagem is fairly easy, I have done 4 now and sold them on. It is safer than the Netgears as it can all be done from the router interface with no need to use other utilities.. If it was bricked he would be no worse off as it is unusable anyway.

Well i bricked 1 out of 1 using a link on this forum. The ethernet lights work, however the power light, wireless light and internet light do not turn on.

Not certain but I don't think you have finished the flashing properly. The router does go into this state during the flashing process. Have a look at the PDF, post 22 in this thread.-

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but it may also be useful for the OP.

Hmm, the Cmd prompt stuff might of worked, ill try it one day, but i definitely tried 192.168.1.1 after the upgrade, it showed nothing. (after the upgrade of the first firmware it seemed to crash (after 5 minutes i reset it, [it did get to the end]) after that i didn't bother with it as i have 3 routers in total, all sent from sky.

I have flashed the Sagem to normal Sagem FW and had no issues. It's only because of the PSU failing that I have stopped using it. So I flashed the Netgear V2 and am using that instead.

The router worked okay for nearly 4 weeks, so how can the user name and password be rejected.

I think Sky have started the flashing of the FW for the Sagem and so it is possible, that your's would not be on that list of ones to do so to speak.

I believe, although don't quote me on this, that Sky have recently changed the FW on the Sagems for the implementaion of new kit in the exchanges, to make them compatible.

If I flash the router and it is not successfull, can I put the 1.9sky firmware back onto the router.

Looking through the link for flashing the Sagem it refers to a standard F@ST2404which I have downloaded, and it also mentioned a modified version of a 1.5 firmware, but none of the links for this download work.

The instructions you are following are only meant to discover the username and password. This is not now necessary due to James' CM9 site. https://www.cm9.net/skypass/

If you want to return the router to standard Sagem firmware, follow the directions in one of the methods in post 22, linked in post 24 above. Basically, you need to flash it twice, once with the .W image, then with the latest firmware.
