Hi Heath,

Some 2960 models have USB ports, unfortunately mine wasn't one of them so I was stuck with the painful xmodem attempts.

Hobi

I've managed to solve this today, user error. When using Tera Term and clicking file there is an option to "send file" which then starts the transfer and fails at 100%. Turns out theres another option in the same menu called "Transfer" and from there you can select xmodem and then send which has worked the 2 times I have tested it so far.

Thanks for your help both.

Unfortunately this made no difference and the transfer failed again at 100%

Unfortunately there no images currently on it. Thanks for providing that article, I have amended my USB settings in Windows and have started another transfer. Will update when it finishes in 5 hours.

It's not possible from what I've read. The switch is in Switch mode / Rommon mode. The only method I've found online is xmodem.

Hi All,

I'm trying to send a new image to my switch in ROMMON mode via xmodem, I will attach the result. I start the transfer on the switch and it gets to 100% after 5 hours and at 100% seems to fail with I/O error. It's painful having to wait 5 hours everytime for it to fail and unfortunately I don't appear to be able to change my transfer rate as anything past 9600 with my cable seems to not work. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this? I'm unable to use the switch until I can get this image on it. .. hoping it will work at that point.

Thanks all

What would the point in a moCA adapter be if you cannot plug it into a cable router because it doesn't understand the signal?

I've just found a functionality on my current router called "Modem mode" which will allow this device just to act as a bridge and therefore will allow me to connect my own router to the current router in modem mode which may be the best option for now since it doesn't involve any additional costs other than the new router itself.

I'm still curious on if the moCA adapter would work though.

Hi All,

Currently I have cable modem provided by my ISP which connects via a coaxial cable from the wall outlet. I'm wanting to upgrade to my own  Router and they all seem to only have Ethernet WAN ports and no coaxial ports. I've searched online for a modems thinking maybe I Could plug the coaxial into a modem and then run an ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port of a new router but I cannot find modems anywhere online.

The question: Can I purchase a moCA adapter which I can by plugging the coaxial coming from the wall into the adapter, then plugging an ethernet into the other side of the adapter which then runs to the WAN port on my router? As I understand these adapters perform Modulation / demodulation so are essentially a modem?

Thanks
