@ YUGA: If the sticky thing doesn't happen please can you create a separate GDrive account and host TP_Link's F/W there and then share the link here and everywhere so that the F/W is available to all if at all TP-Link decides to pull the plug on it someday. I am sure folks like us will bless you for that


Hello W5577 , thank you for those generous comments . There are many routers like the Airtel and BSNL ones which really have a great potential to work on . I think it has been more than 6-7 months and the airtel model has been rock solid and has never been rebooted as well . The range is better than most of the 150 mbps routers off the shelf and nearly as good as many 300N routers . Can you please help me with creating a Gdrive account and post the link if that is not much of a hassle for you ? I am not much into forum boards and they tend to be confusing for me .

Mail me that file at Sushubh@gmail.com and I would post it here.

@yuga: CHROMANIAC has offered to host the F/W file in this site only for the future users and I think that will be best for everybody.

@chromaniac: Have mailed you the F/W file as you requested in your post. Would be wonderful if you can upload it here for the users' benefit. ALL CREDITS FLY OUT TO @yuga FOR FIGURING IT ALL OUT. I AM MERELY ENJOYING THE FRUITS OF HIS LABOUR.

OTHER USERS OF BEETEL 450 TC2 - IF YOU HAVE NOT JUMPED IN AS YET PLEASE DO SO AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
 
Bump !!!
Hi Everyone. Posting this just to confirm that TD-W8951ND_V5_141114 (the firmware with some improvements and bugs fixed) has been tested on my Beetel 450 TC2. It is stable and woking fine on the device.
 


If you can open the box and note down the chip or if u can send a high res pic , i will be able to give you an appropriate fw upgrade . If anyone is in chennai , and can loan me a tc1 I can try
Nice work, man. :rock:
You have solved the problem of many by finding and giving them a better firmware for Beetel 450 TC2.

Now, I want to update the firmware of my Beetel 450 TC 1 (a better firmware like you found for TC2) and I guess many others are also willing to do the same. So, I am here to provide you with some details about Beetel 450 TC1.

CPU : TRENDCHIP TC3162P2-PQ208G
RAM : WINBOND W9812G6IH-6 (16 Mib)
FLASH : WINBOND 25X16VSIG (2 MiB)
SWITCH : IC+ IP175C LF
WI1 CHIP1 : RALINK RT2561ST
WI1 CHIP2 : RALINK RT2527L
ADSL2+ : TRENDCHIP TC3085-TQ64-EPG

Also, a high-resolution image of the same can also be viewed if required.
One device's specification which closely matches to Beetel TC1's is Billion BiPAC 5200G R4 (one difference is that it has 8 Mib of RAM).
Kindly suggest on what can or should be done.

Hey @yuga , I hope this message reaches you.
And I guess you have already seen my last message in which I had attached a high-resolution photograph of Beetel 450 TC 1.
If not, kindly try to take out some time from your busy schedule to view that photograph and the chipset details provided to help us in finding an appropriate replacement firmware for Beetel 450 TC 1 which many of us are still using.

@yuga please provide us firmware version for upgrading Beetel 450 TC 1
I tried approaching TP-Link Support but they were not able to help.
 
I have the firmware which i think might be suitable , but I would like to have someone in chennai who can lend me the modem so that i can verify before i post it here
Dear Yuga, can you please disclose the suitable firmware here. I have the modem, unfortunately am not in Chennai. Will try flashing your suggested firmware on my device assuming all responsibility for my actions. I will not blame you if anything goes wrong or my modem gets bricked.

Thanks in advance.

Hello yuga, please respond. I am awaiting your reply.

Hello Yuga, I am awaiting your reply dear. please PM me. Thanks

I'm only 4 years late, but this is the original firmware for 450TC1. Thanks Cybero for the details. I have flashed it on my old 450TC1 and it works like a charm. However, due to 2Mb Flash memory, openwrt or dd-wrt doesn't support this particular version, so I still can't do what I dug my old router for - to extend my hostel internet connection for my smart devices to work.
