[AusNOG] Telstra DOT modem options

We had a copy of the config but it's gone now. Most of our clients have gone to other carriers, or the routers are in bridge so we can't access them anymore. I will see if I can get hold of one to get the config off it.

That seem like tin foil hat thing
Do you have evidence to back this up

One thing to keep in mind as well is that these Telstra supplied routers have a hidden Telstra account and dynDNS service that allows them to remotely connect and make changes to the router. Removing this account will result in them saying it is faulty and shipping a new one.

Hi Jarryd,

Appreciate the insight - thank you. We no longer have a tame Telstra AM, so will perhaps badger support a bit more.


Kind regards,

Jason

We attempted to put in Cisco 887VA's and found they do not work on DOT services. When speaking to the DOT team they advised us the device supplied is the only device able to authenticate the service. We tried MAC address spoofing on the Cisco however still found the same issue. Have not spent any more time around getting them working. Unfortunately for NBN and DSL we've had to in both cases get the customer to provision a 2nd internet service as a work around.
