Note: NB5s recently supplied free by Exetel with an upgrade to ADSL2 are likely to have a problem which causes them to hang after 29 hours online.


See this topic on the Exetel Forums for details, and if you are suffering this problem, see this post to download the firmware upgrade.

Here's the note from Netcomm on if your modem is one affected by this problem:

Make sure that your NB5 modem is a Rev2 modem by checking the sticker underneath the unit. Rev2 Unit will state “NB5Rev2” and the “F/W” will start with “2.A09NCT”
