The SmartRG SR516ac modem router supports both ADSL and VDSL, and switches automatically to match the line it is connected to.
=Network Eligibility=
* Note: Fees for changing plans apply, see our [[DSL Rates]].


Before you start configuring the modem:
The Hitron CODA-45 has been certified by the following cable network vendors for operation on their infrastructure:
# '''Firmware Check:''' Check that your [[SmartRG SR516ac Firmware|firmware is up to date]] or update to the recommended version. If you have a different firmware version, the screenshots and instructions might not match exactly.  Contact [http://mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] if you need assistance.
* Rogers (Ontario)
# '''Factory Settings:''' '''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' These instructions are for configuring the modem from elsewhere or after it is been reset to factory settings.  If the modem is not new, we recommend resetting it by '''holding down the reset button with a paper clip for about 10 seconds'''.
* Cogeco (Ontario and Quebec)
#* We recommend these settings for most NCF members. To learn more about what the settings do and more advanced settings, consult the [[Modem Manuals|manual]].
#'''Ethernet Connection:''' Consult the [https://www.ncf.ca/ncf/support/w/images/4/4b/About_your_SmartRG_SR516ac.pdf About your SmartRG SR516ac modem instruction sheet] to learn how to connect the modem''. We recommend configuring the modem using a computer connected by an ethernet cable, as opposed to over a wireless connection.''
=Configuration=
'''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' You can follow our instructions to configure the modem yourself, or contact [mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] if you would like to bring your modem to our office to be configured.


==Methods==
=Firmware=
If you have access to email, we can send you a file to automatically configure the modem with your NCF account and our recommended settings, which is much easier than going through all the steps manually.  You can request a config file from [mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] then follow our [[SmartRG SR516ac Config from File|instructions to configure your modem with a config file]].


Alternatively, you can follow the instructions below to configure the modem [[SmartRG SR516ac Routed Configuration#with WiFi|without a config file]].
'''Current certified firmware version: 7.2.4.3.1b3''' (on the Rogers cable network)
==Modes of Operation==
'''Current certified firmware version: 7.1.1.1.2b1''' (on the Rogers cable network)
# [[SmartRG_SR516ac_Routed_Configuration|Routed]] - Functions as both a modem and WiFi router, which is recommended for most members. Another router can be added to extend the network, but each network must use a different subnet.
 
# [[SmartRG_SR516ac_Bridge_Configuration|Bridge]] - '''(Advanced)''' Functions only as a modem, so another device is required to make the PPPoE connection. Recommended for advanced members using a separate router.
Cable network operators control what cable modems and firmware versions can be used on their networks. Operators run all cable devices and firmware versions through their own testing process, after which the device and firmware are certified for use on the cable network. After the testing and approval process of a new version of firmware for a cable device, cable network operators ''may'' then automatically upgrade all cable modems connected on their network with the latest certified firmware.
