![]() As I mentioned above though, Huawei don't list the 658c on their websites as it seems to be a direct-to-telco unit (it may be listed. I'm familiar with decrypting and tweaking the config files and I've done this for many units What I'm hoping to find is a more current F/W image direct from Huawei for the HG658c as the last release from Vodafone was some time ago now. Thanks neumanngregor I have used the o2 branded firmware in the past but as Vodafone have released 1 or 2 newer firmwares since that o2 release, I'm back on them for now. Pug a LAN cable from the router that has internet access to one of the LAN ports of the repeater and you are clear to go, but read until the end before! The repeater will work with static IP addresses, that means that when you connect to it with a laptop or table or phone or whatever it will need to asign it a static IP in the domain of 192.168.1.200 to 192.168.1.255, this is done manually. We gonna enable WAN and setup WIFI encryption and password for repeater (i recommend WPA2 without WPS and change the default SSID to something else like 'Repeater') BASIC ->WAN ENABLE setup password and stuff i told you before and hit SUBMIT button. Go to BASIC ->LAN DHCP SERVER: DISABLE then hit SUBMIT button. 2 DHCP servers in same network will block your network communication. Do this when your PC or Laptop is only connected to this HG658 (that means no internet access, no connection to the 1st HG 658, the administration IP will otherwise overlap) 2. Log in the web interface of the HG658 (the one that is gonna be converted to repeater) and go to BASIC ->LAN IP ADDRESS: change from 192.168.1. The first HG658 (the one that has the ADSL/VDSL enabled, the one with the phone cord plugged in) will use the IP address poll from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. As you can see, in the pictures, the outside is somehow different but it is the same thing, the HG658. Then i decided to use a patchwork, keeping the warranty and having the job done too. After fiddling and browsing around, i discovered that if i flash the original firmware on them i will loose the warranty on them (?!!!). Then i got the idea to use the modems that are just laying around. Now for my special case, i received in the years 3 modems of this type from the same ISP, they just gave me a new one for free, and i needed to use the WIFI in the whole building, 3 level, but i cant get the signal from the top to the 2nd or to the ground level. The original firmware from Huawei HAS a repeater function, the dumb thing is some of the ISP that are re-branding and using this device have blocked this feature. This is a quick tutorial on how to convert a Huawei ADSL/VDSL Modem/Router in a router. Huawei Hg655b Openwrt Average ratng: 3,5/5 2737reviews ![]()
