Firmware! Get Your Firmware Here!!

As I outlined below, one of the many advantages of having the admin password to your Gizmo is the ability to upload new firmware.

For the AC-211-SR, the most current version is 4.62.14 (both APP and LDR). For the Innomedia, it's 3.0.77.

The links are below, and remember, use with caution:
For the AC-211-SR, you need both APP and LDR. Download LDR to the Gizmo first, then reset, then download APP, then reset again.

AC-211-SR 4.62.14 APP
AC-211-SR 4.62.14 LDR

Innomedia 3.0.77

I don't know if the AC-211-SR firmware will function in the AC-211-N. Try searching on DSLReports.com or SunrocketForums.com before attempting this.

Why you (might) need the administrator password

Some people have been asking what benefits there are to having the administrator password to their Gizmo. Truth be told, if you're a normal, everyday user, you probably don't need it, unless you're curious about the inner workings of your Gizmo.

But, if you're a "power user", if you've left Sunrocket to go with another provider and you want to unlock your Gizmo, you will need it. Some of the things that can be done with the administrator password are:

  1. Edit your SIP settings, useful if you're moving to another VoIP provider.
  2. Change your dial plan, useful if you want to replace 411 with 1-800-FREE411.
  3. Upgrading your Gizmo's firmware. Maybe you've got call quality issues, and have read on DSLReports.com or SunrocketForums.com that a firmware upgrade will solve them.
  4. Enable or disable CODECs.
  5. Many others...

Remember, changing settings without knowing what they do can render your Gizmo a brick, so do so with caution.

One important tip: If you've gone into your Gizmo and tweaked some settings, make sure you turn off autoconfiguration. Otherwise, your settings will be lost the next time the Gizmo "phones home", and you may also lose administrator access if Sunrocket chooses to change the administrator password.
