No dsl connection with Fritz!Box 7362 SL

That does not look good but I do not know enough details to properly interpret that error messages.

@HTMofDreams, I know. That's why I mentioned your thread first. I also recognized you made it work, thus, could you please describe you successful steps?

My solution was, to install the firmware for my DSL modem. And then the DSL modem was present, to configure.

Ive copied it to /lib/firmware and enter the right path in Interfaces->DSL->firmware.

Could you by any chance also post your current and working /etc/config/network (with username and password redacted) that way the forum would document a fully working set-up, so others finding this (or the other) thread will find an actual solution?

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, that doesn't help with my FB. I see two differences between your and my situation:

  1. Different provider
  2. ADSL vs VDSL

Anyone any new idea to make it work?

Show a screenshot of your devices... Do u have tried the firmeware?

Can you post your current /etc/config/network with usernames and passwords redacted, please?

Not yet, since I've reinstalled FritzOS.

I've flashed OpenWrt on this device again and now I'm getting ervery 11s:

Mmmh, these MEI errors and messages are similar to what I see as well, when I use the LOG TRACE levels:

But this is transient for me, so it appears that something is not working out either in loading the firmware or getting sync (to restate the obvious)....

Mmmh that appears to be the version that someone else got working...

According to the other forum you are on M-Net, so this probably should read:
option device 'dsl0.40'
but that is unlikely your problem, because that would not affect getting the modem to sync at all.

The later failures in your post indicate that either the driver, the firmware or both are not happy under OpenWrt; yet since the same modem works under FritzOS it is unclear what is at fault here... If possible, you could try to extract the firmware blob from the working FritzOS? (I have never done that, extracting something from a running fritzbox, so can not offer much help here).

However I have a question, which OpenWrt version are you trying to get working?
