Has anyone been able to flash the firmware for the DLink DCM202 modem.
The instructions on the website are worthless. Calling tech support
for this problem is also worthless.

I have downloaded the latest firmware but a BIN file is not executable
and DLink does not provide an executable file for this task. I am
hoping to get the firmware up from v1.03 to 2.00 and thereby eliminate
all of the connection problems I have experienced since Cox has
upgraded their network. This modem is not one of the approved modems
for the network since the upgrade.

Any help appreciated. If you have been able to flash the firmware
please post the precise steps along with the program you used to
execute the BIN file.

TIA

cable companies upgrade firmware in customer owned modems as well as
their own modems. tech support probably doesn't have all the
answers. engineering doesn't normally tell customer care the details
of modem upgrades.

cable companies do not want end users upgrading modems (it is
considered hacking).

The DCM202 may be upgraded by Cox if and when CableLabs certifies
revised firmware that D-Link submits to fix issues and Cox decides
to roll it out.

You really should consider leasing a modem or purchasing a new one.

Thanks for the response. Spoke with Cox and just ordered a new
Motorola 5101. Hopefully, they will now drop this one any time soon.
