SSH

I can't get an SSH client to stay open even with a valid username and password ("user" : password for web interface). It accepts the credentials, welcomes me to the w35 and then...nothing. Any tips on using PuTTY to connect as user?

Thanks

Bell and Rogers branded W35

In Canada here, I have acquired two used W35s as spares for ones we have in service on the Rogers network.
One was originally on Rogers contract and is branded so on the front. The other was on a Bell contract, and is labelled Bell on the back only, and of course will not accept a Rogers SIM.
Curiously on the ex Bell unit, the user interface is branded Rogers...ie when you access 192.168.1.1 on the unit you see a Rogers title block even whilst using a valid Bell SIM !!!
Any one have any ideas about this?

Just for clarity - I have a couple of these devices - only the older versions, and unbranded - W21 and W25) - I've just upgraded to the latest firmware for these devices (R12C) from ericssonw25.com - and the root / operator passwords etc are as stated:

For the operator mode is:
user id: operator
password: -cpeps

administrator mode is:
user id: root
password: feb.07

So I would imagine, from a factory reset, with the manufacturer firmware, the above credentials will work. Of course, I can't comment if there are any carrier-fudged firmwares...

For me i manage to secure a root password from a friend of in ghana but after unlock erricsson W35 using the Telnet commands it is unlock and detect another operators but the proble, is that i cannot change the APN of the main ISP which is ZAIN or AIRTEL from GHANA.
I even upgrade the w35 firmware which 12C of april 2009 from erisson website which went successfully but note that when upgrading the firmware you need to have a lots of patience as this may take up to 5 to 15 minutes so you don't need to be too hurry.
My problem is how can i can change APN from INTERNET to other network APN .

boss am also from ghana using the zain w35 router can pls tell me the root password or how you managed to unlock yours...thank you

Just What I was looking for. I know I am not supposed to reply with thanks, so I will find some other way.

@BeianM:

I know this has been a long time since your original posting, I discovered, with someone else's help, how to unlock the Rogers version of the W35.

A posting just appeared in the Rogers Forum which provided the essential information:

If anyone is still interested you can access the cli with user : root
Pswd : R0ger5

Now to unlock the unit:
You should now see a screen stating "Welcome to Ericsson".
Now type the command "rwclean files". Press Enter. After this, you will be instructed to reboot the W35. At this point all the formerly entered parameters and data, both user and network provider-specific, have been wiped.


Now you have an unlocked unit and you will be able to access the CLI commands as you find them in the administrator's manual.

Hi,

New to DK and new to this thread. I have a Rogers rocket hub (branded to Rogers) on my boat since 2009. I recently began to "cut the cord" with Rogers since my telecom bill is more than my electric bill. Given this, I've been trying to unlock/debrand my Ericsson W35 since replacing would be problematic. The previous post is encouraging and I'm going to give it a try since I have no recourse. I've already talked to Rogers about unlocking and they say that they can't do it. All my avenues are closed and buying a unlocked replacement is to expensive. First up is to get the admin manual.

Cheers,
Kaoru

Unlocking Rogers Ericsson W35: cautions and caveats

@Kaoru:

if you follow the unlock procedure, you will end up with an Ericsson W35 which is totally reset, and has lost not only all of its Rogers-specific settings, but also any settings you may have used to configure the device.
I will not try to discourage you from following the unlock procedure. But please note, that if you do, you need to have made a record of the settings on the device previous to your following the unlock procedure. This is needed so you can reconfigure the W35 to allow you to reconnect to the Rogers cell network. In particular, take a close look at, and make a record of, the settings on the "Internet" page of the web management interface. You will need to restore these after the unlock process to allow you, once again to connect to the Rogers network.
As well, you need to restore whatever settings you had on the Wireless and LAN web management pages.

Of course, if you are connecting to another cell network entirely, then you will likely need different settings to allow you to connect that particular cell network.

And, yes, it is definitely recommended that you obtain the System Admin Guide for the W35.

Good Luck!

@westofanywhere Do u per chance know the root password for the non rogers ones...?

[westofanywhere]

@nanakomeah:

the root password depends on whether you have a default stock Ericsson W35, or one provided by a carrier who has put customized firmware on the little beastie.

The stock W35 default passwords can be found in the Sys Admin Guide. Any other will need to be obtained from the relevant carrier/provider.
