Kia Ora,

Is it possible to back up a firmware from the Netcomm? eg. NF18ACV with software version NF18ACV.NC.Vocus-R6B043.EN as plan to upgrade to the latest version from their site (https://support.netcommwireless.com/products/nf18acv) which current version of NC2-R6B023.

This is just a precaution just in case it will cause issues after the upgrade so I can just revert back to the original firmware. Alternatively, is there any link(s) where can we get the original firmware?

Thanks

If you're on a Vocus firmware the update should ideally be managed by Vocus. Have you reached out to your ISP?

Generally known online as OpenMedia, now working for Red Hat APAC as a Technology Evangelist and Portfolio Architect. Still playing with MythTV and digital media on the side.

Not yet contacted the ISP though, I'm just curious about the new firmware and their new user interface which I'm after especially the Parental control.

The firmware file is only issued to the isp and you cant extract it from the router itself.

I wouldnt expect any problems.

I have flashed heaps of ex Vocus/trustpower nf4v and nf18acv routera to generic firmware

One you flash and reset
default ip becomes 192.168.20.1
TR069 becomes un configured
default password becomes admin/admin
you are then 100% responsible for its setup as there will be no support from the RSP
