Hi,

Can anyone please advise the latest ADSL firmware
(adsl_alc_firmware.bin) for the C837 (20150 chipset)?

I currently have 3.9.220 that's embedded in IOS 12.4(25b) but I've seen
reference to 3.9.221 existing and I presume there must also be more
recent versions since that dates right back to 2006.

I've tried asking Cisco via a service request but so far they've only
suggested I install firmware that's intended for the C877, so I'm hoping
Usenet is more fruitful!

Best regards,

I didnt find any info about this firmware 3.9.221 in Cisco web pages.

Q. Is there a way to load different firmware apart from that embedded with
the Cisco IOS Software?
A. Yes. This option is available for the ADSL platforms (857, 876, 877, and
877M) to allow independent ADSL firmware upgrade to resolve ADSL
interoperability related issues. There's no need to upgrade Cisco IOS
software when the issue can be resolved with a different version of
firmware.

Indeed, but various historic posts including this one reference 3.9.221:

I'm assuming not all posts make it onto the various Cisco external
sites.

Have you tried

Maybe updates are available from alcatel?

I have searched for firmware for the 877 a while ago and I found the
file adsl_alc_20190_4.0.018.bin via the cisco site. I installed it
on the router (it needs to be renamed...) and it has improved the
performance of the ADSL modem dramatically over the builtin code in
IOS (which was a 3.x version).

No idea if one can use this software on an 837.
