Thomson St585 V6 Firmware
Yes 6.2.29.2 is the last UK update. I found that it isn't very good when you stress your line. I live a couple of hundred yards from my exchange with good attenuation and SNRM. I asked for the 6DB profile and was syncing at c 22mbps, but was getting 20,000 CRC errors in 5 or 6 hours. The 7.4.3.2 was better, held noise margin well and errors were 2,500 per day or so. Problem was that noise margin would fluctuate and line would periodically drop, typically lasting a few hours.
Forum discussion: Hi ST owners, Here's a reminder about the latest ST5x6 FirmWare: FirmWares cgt.socgen.free.fr ZZOHAA6.2H5.bin 16-Jun-2007 12:17 2.9M ST780i A. Find the default login, username, password, and ip address for your Thomson Speedtouch 585 V6 router. You will need to know then when you get a new router, or when.
Moved up to 8.2.2.5 and now getting less then 2000 CRC errors in a 24 hour period. Noise margin is more stable again and line hasn't dropped in a day and half. Cheers Barney. I can confirm that I used the 8.2.2.5 found midway down that page - the one that says its for the 585v6.
It seems to be working fine. Possibly because I did an upgrade it retained the PPPOA template - or else the 585v6 version does have it. No idea - anyway seems to be working ok. Link: If you do use it please note you try this at your own risk. Reading that thread there appear to also be problem with the wireless. I haven't tested that part yet. It has kept my link up for almost three days when 7.4.3.2 was dropping it every few hours (say 2 to 3 times a day) Cheers Barney.
Mine seems to last a couple of days then a drop. Seems to be working ok but I am getting over 4000 CRC errors per day and about 2300 HEC errors and about 200 errored seconds. Speeds and stability seem fine though so tempted to simply ignore them. I am on a 24mb 6db noise margin profile with Talktalk on ADSL2+.
I could ask for my profile to be changed to 9db but not sure that I want to! When I was using the official 6.2.29.2 version on this profile I was getting 38000 CRC errors in a day! So this is definately better.
What do you all think? Cheers Barney.
Contents. Vulnerabilities Like any computer operating system, router and modem firmware may have vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malware. In February 2014 Linksys and Asus routers that allowed remote control of the router with the aim of collecting banking information. The vulnerabilities were later corrected by the router manufacturers though firmware updates. This does illustrate why it is important to ensure that your modem and router firmware is kept up to date and if new versions are released by the manufacturer to install them where possible.

If your modem is working fine, there is no need to do a firmware upgrade unless there is some new feature, such as a security update or bug fix, that you want. Most firmware updates are intended to fix a specific issue that a manufacturer has identified. There is always small risk that a new firmware update can introduce issues that did not exist before.
If you are unsure how to accomplish an upgrade and modem reprogram after reading this section then it is recommended that you do not carry out a firmware upgrade. Most firmware upgrades are just minor updates and the modem will keep working without updating.
The TP-Link firmware webpage for each model details what each upgrade includes. Here are general instructions for firmware upgrades all TP-Link modems:.

DSL modem firmware upgrades for SpeedTouch modems The firmware on the Alcatel/Thomson/Technicolor SpeedTouch series of modems can be upgraded, although it is a complex process to do so. SpeedTouch firmware can only be upgraded within the same version, due to hardware driver compatibility. For instance a ST585v6 can only accept version 6 firmware and not version 7 or 8. Because most SpeedTouch firmware changes incorporate only minor updates of a non-critical nature, most average NCF members will gain no advantage in upgrading the firmware on most modem versions. Firmware upgrades do carry the risk of disabling the DSL modem if they are not done right, so for this reason they are not recommended by NCF. Advanced users who wish to upgrade their own SpeedTouch firmware should download the new firmware and instructions. Note that firmware can only be upgraded using a Windows PC, as firmware upgrades are all '.exe' files and thus cannot be upgraded from Mac, Linux, BSD or Unix computers, unless they can run Windows in a virtual machine or similar environment.
