Thanks Vation! :)Originally Posted by Vation
I have a ZTE 831 modem/router (I don't think I can access the bastard, never tried really, the ISP usually puts a user/password)
It is connected to a Dlink DIR-600 Router.
I have a 3mb connection and usually download @385kb/s. Sometimes I get 1mb (depending on the ISP's freewill). Not sure how much room is there for improvement.
Most likely ZTE 831's IP is
http://192.168.1.1
or
http://192.168.0.1
try
login/password
admin/admin
DSL/expert03
ZXDSL/ZXDSL
admin/pass
or you may try telnet if http will not respond.
Also you may try unpluging modem from adsl line and router, connect it directly to PC to check.

ZTE 831 Series
Funny thing i have not found DMT version for it. But there can be things you might want to mess with isnide of ZTE 831 config.

Nice info! 192.168.0.1 is my Router's IP, will try 192.168.0.1 today. I seriously doubt I can use the default password, local ISPs not only put a password for them, they actually own the equipment (if I end the contract I have to return it) so I am not in the mood for fooling around with it.
But I will definitely like to see the admin panel
IP 192.168.1.1
Gateway 192.168.1.1
So now what?
You got router besides this modem?
Tour IP is gateway ip =odd. Or there is another adapter - ipconfig all
Have you tried:
If it does not work(assuming you have no router there is no utility for your modem.Maybe this program (little chance) will provide EMX-NT1 modem info:

Just you may uninstall CFosSpeed to see if internet connection speeds without it are faster/more reliable.
And assuming there is no router it is end of the story.
There is only this modem!
I assume that if you reset the router, the configuration that allows you to connect also goes boom, and you have to take it back to your ISP for it to be reprogrammed?(I never had DSL because you also have to digitalize your phone line, and when the connection stops working the provider and phone company will blame each other)
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
Most of isps by the hotlines and official sites inform how to configure adsl modems, just auth login/ pass are unique.I assume that if you reset the router, the configuration that allows you to connect also goes boom, and you have to take it back to your ISP for it to be reprogrammed?
Login/pass is usually in contract info.

Vation, so should I try this DMT tool?
As i said before none of DMT versions supports your modem - checked it. There is similiar application to that might work - slight chances but costs nothing to try:
And judging by your networking skills this is it.Maybe this program (little chance) will provide EMX-NT1 modem info:

As desodorante (and I) said CFosSpeed can mess and slow down system so it is better to remove it. CFosSpeed could be (or maybe it is not) responsible for your slow YouTube performance, there is nothing more to say.

I honestly don't know about reseting.I assume that if you reset the router, the configuration that allows you to connect also goes boom, and you have to take it back to your ISP for it to be reprogrammed?
About DSL (well, ADSL): That "digitalization" is a scam. ALL the lines in the city and its surronundings (I would even dare to say all the lines in the Country) ARE digital since the mid 90's. Analog equipment is long gone, I even remember trying a black box around 2000-2001 in the hope that I will have a free line to surf.
I moved from my parents' a year ago and cut off Speedy (for the rest it is the main DSL ISP along with the leading Phone company here) and had no issues whatsoever. I just called them, pretending to be my father and said my son was moving away and I did not know how to use the computer.
They call him from time to time with "Special Offers", but that's all.
They got a cable line afterwards.
Unfortunately the Telcos in my country simply do whatever they want, since the government sold the State phone company for loose change (that is for the state, not for the governors) and a duopoly was created. To make it all worst, one of the companies routes ALL of the ISPs.
That said you will understand why I hired the service over the phone, with no contract of any sort. Going to one of their customer service offices won't get me anything but excuses from a union worker that doesn't even try to pretend he works (And they have a very strong labor union)
Hotlines are usually helpful if you just get the guy that still cares about people after working for less than minimum wage (been there, done that...for 3 years) but most are either too frustrated or just don't know what a modem is.
The ISP site barely has information, just prices and an overview of what you get with no further details (as in legal details).
They can't even tell you what modem you will get (you have to pay it or return it if you end up the "contract") and on top of it, most modems are used (returned)
To sum up I don't want to hack into the modem in any way, specially because I will be moving soon and do not want to have trouble ending the service.
