First, I would like to extend my apologies for any inconvenience that this issue had caused you. Unfortunately, firmware update file is only compatible with a Windows computer. You can only update the 3G21 modem by using downloading the file to a Windows Computer, connect the modem to the Windows Computer using an ethernet cable. Lastly run the file from the Windows computer to your modem. ******************************************************************** On 9 October BigPond Technical Support wrote (excerpt): Thank you for your email 05/10/2012 regarding the issue on your Internet connection.
