Cisco 837 ADSl Router Configuration


Recommended Posts

hey all

I bought a Cisco 837 ADSL Router the other day....nice buy off ebay ;-)

Anyway, im having trouble configuring the ATM0 interface......even via the Web Configuration Interface!

When I enter the correct username and password (Web Interface) it'll stay on "Configuring Router"..and do nothing.....even after 6 hours! now this shouldant be a 20 second process!

The ATM0 interface line is up and the interface is up too, the router also detects the upload and download speed so no problems there.

This is for a UK ADSL install....so VCI is 38 and VPI (?) is 0.....Ive tried running ppp encapsulation chap but it wont.....

Anybody any ideas?

    • I think it's bloody great, old chap!
    • Not the deal that 2nd hand purchasers tend to look for - no.  It's cheaper than the sum of it's parts new - yes.  But people looking for 2nd hand, pre-built computers are rarely looking for what you are selling. Don't misunderstand; as an informed enthusiast I like that computer, and as an informed enthusiast I am often asked "My son wants a gaming PC and here's my budget" - in which case, as an informed enthusiast I would totally point them in this sort of direction.  But I am not the mass market, hence you may well have to wait longer for a sale. If you're looking for speed - then breaking it into parts is likely to pay off better on that front, as there will be more people who suit that market and their likelihood of buying 2nd hand is more fruitful.  But - chore!
    • What is the purpose of this article? You didn't even mention that CPU is powering it, so we don't know what GPU/iGPU it has. We don't know if the memory is on chip, on the motherboard, is expandable or replaceable. And that's only the internals. Display type, resolution, brightest you didn't even mention the DPI. Without one or more if these capabilities no one who reads these strung together words will know if they should or shouldn't buy it. The only HINT is from the sticker on the photo of the laptop. Q: what do you get for wasting people's time? Their must be some value or you wouldn't have wasted your time either.
    • That is some storage. I have an old F4-210 and it works well for what it is, just a shame Terramaster will not update the software for it.
